The following accessories are available for the P6910 probe: Option 1K provides accessories for probing applications for less than 100 MHz.
  • Page 16: Probe Label Overview

    The logic analyzer probe comes with a sheet of labels to apply to the probe before connecting the probe to the instrument and SUT. Tektronix provides a sheet of color-coded labels to apply to the probe to help identify the connections to the logic analyzer and to the SUT. The label color is designed to match the color of the probe connections on the logic analyzer.
