Oscilloscope Probes and Accessories

Choose from a broad portfolio of Tektronix probes and accessories, all perfectly matched to our industry-leading oscilloscopes. With over 100 choices available, select the oscilloscope probe you need for your specific testing application.

  • Industry-leading bandwidth up to 20 GHz which is ideal for probing high speed serial signals like PCI Express 2.0.
  • TriMode™ architecture streamlines measurement acquisition by enabling a single oscilloscope probe to make differential, single-ended, and common mode measurements, all with a single DUT connection point.
  • Ease of use and intelligent bi-directional communications like deskew controls and load specifications between the probe and Tektronix DPO oscilloscopes.

Type Description
Active Probe

Offers broad signal bandwidth and reduced probe loading to capture single-ended, ground referenced signals. Best choice for small geometry applications that would be seriously loaded by passive probing solutions.

Current Probe

Widest selection of high-performance current probes available. Tektronix current measurement systems provide programmable and manual simultaneous AC/DC measurements, bandwidth from DC to 2 GHz, and amplitude measurements from mAs to 20,000 A.

Differential Probe

View complementary (differential) signal pair using a single channel. While a matched pair of single-ended probes may be used to make a differential measurement, a true differential probe typically gives higher performance, providing high CMRR, broad frequency range, and minimal time skew between inputs.

High Voltage Probe

Extends the ability to safely and accurately capture real-time signal information from "elevated" or "floating" voltage systems. Solutions available for single-ended, differential or isolated measurements.

Logic Analyzer Probe

Verify and debug today's high speed, low voltage digital signals with a broad range of Logic Analyzer probes and connectivity solutions for your specific board or chip configuration.

Low Capacitance Probe

Minimizes DUT loading for a more accurate characterization of how your device is performing with or without the measurement system.

Optical Probe

Optical-to-electric converters specifically designed for seamless operation with an oscilloscope. Commonly used to test and characterize a wide range of optical communication standards (SONET/SDH and Fibre Channel).

Passive Probe

Most common, general purpose probe type. Designed for cost efficiency and to be mechanically robust; offer a wide dynamic range and large input resistance.

Protocol Analyzer Probe

Accurately acquire signals from a wide variety of electronic designs that protect signal fidelity.

Temperature Probe

The TP750 probe is manufactured using a coil suspension element design for increased shock and vibration resistance.
