P6106A Passive Probe Thank you for choosing a Tektronix passive probe. This manual provides the information necessary to begin making measurements with your P6106A probe. Topics are presented in the following order: Description—A description of the probe and its options. -
Page 8: Installation
Accessories This instruction manual—Read these instructions to familiarize yourself with he features, specifications, and operation of the P6106A passive probe. Accessory pouch—(not shown) Use the accessory pouch to store the probe and its accessories when they are not being used. - Page 9 P6106A Passive Probe reason.To make probe identification easy, clip matching colored rings onto the probe cable and tip as shown. Three-inch ground lead—Use the Three-inch ground lead to establish a ground reference for your measurements. Whenever freedom from aberra- tions and amplitude accuracy are more important than probe reach and flexibility, use the shortest ground lead possible.

Page 10: Operating Considerations
P6106A Passive Probe Operating Considerations This information in this section will help you make the most effective use of your P6106A probe. Features and Controls Readout pin—The BNC connector of the probe includes a spring-loaded pin that connects to a mating contact ring on certain oscilloscopes. These oscilloscopes recognize the attenuation factor of the probe and automatically correct the oscilloscope indication of scale factor. -
Page 11: Low-Frequency Probe Compensation
P6106A Passive Probe A passive probe is capacitive for high-frequency signals. For most circuits, the high input resistance of a passive probe has a negligible effect on the signal. The series inductances represented by the probe tip and ground lead, however, can result in a parasitic resonant circuit that may “ring”... - Page 12 P6106A Passive Probe 2. Press AUTOSET (on many Tektronix oscilloscopes) or otherwise adjust the oscilloscope so that it displays a waveform similar to those shown in this section. Optional: If your oscilloscope has a limited-bandwidth mode, enable it. Filtering out high-frequency noise will make the adjustment easier to perform.
- Page 13 P6106A Passive Probe NOTE. We strongly recommend that you use the optional probe tip-to-BNC adapter (Tektronix part number 013-0084-04) to connect your probe to the signal source. 1. Remove the covers from the probe compensation box by gently prying them off with a fingernail or small screwdriver.
