TIVM Series Measurement System User Manual
Tektronix provides two tripods as accessories with the measurement system. The
Flexible tripod holds the sensor head while connected to the DUT. The Probe tip
tripod supports the sensor tip cables while they are connected to adapters on
the circuit board.
The tripod can be connected to the DUT in different ways. You can secure the
tripod to the DUT using optional feet. The feet can be clamped or attached to the
DUT using common screws. This allows you to install the tripod upside down or
right side up as shown in the following figures.

Use the probe tip tripod to connect the sensor tip cables to adapters on the circuit
board. This tripod has flexible hinges to easily position the probe tip cable above
the adapter on the circuit board. Tektronix recommends gluing the tripod in place
on the circuit board to provide additional support for the sensor tip cables. The
following figure shows an example of connecting to an adapter on the circuit
board with the tripod; it reduces stresses on the test point.
