80E06 Single channel, 70 GHz Requires 2.4/1.85 mm to 2.92 mm SMA adapter (Tektronix part number 011- 0157- 00, standard with these sampling modules). Also requires custom cable not available from Tektronix: use a short high-quality SMA cable or fabricate your own semi-rigid cable.
Getting Started The 80A03 disables the Probe Power interface on the front of the sampling modules. Do not use the 80A03 with probes that connect directly to the Probe Power, such as the P6209 and P6207. There is also no support for TekProbe Level 2 legacy probes that utilize the TCA-1MEG, TCA-BNC, and TCA75 adapters.
Getting Started Optional Accessories No optional accessories are available for the 80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module. Installing the TekConnect Probe Interface Module Figure 2 shows the TekConnect Probe Interface Module and locations of the sampling module and probe inputs. The extender cable on the rear of the interface connects to the mainframe front panel.
