Features & Benefits

  • An Easy-to-use, Plug-on Accessory for Oscilloscopes That Feature the TekVPI Interface
  • Generates Source Signals to Enable Precise Deskew Between Current and Voltage Probes in Power Measurement Applications
  • LED Status Indicator for Quick Identification of Generator State
  • Multiple Output Signals Enable Use with a Variety of Oscilloscopes and Probes
  • Output can be Turned Off to Reduce Power Consumption when Not in Use
  • Easy Access to Oscilloscope Menu Display to Control Settings from the Oscilloscope Front Panel

Applications

  • Power Supply Design
  • Measurements Requiring Accurate Timing Measurements Between Channels

TEK-DPG Deskew Pulse Generator

The TEK-DPG Deskew Pulse Generator is a signal-generating accessory for Tektronix instruments that feature the TekVPI™ interface, including DPO3000 Series and DPO/MSO4000 Series oscilloscopes.

The TEK-DPG generator provides a source signal to the Power Measurement Deskew Fixture (Tektronix part number 067-1686-xx), used to deskew popular Tektronix probes. The generator and deskew fixture allow you to precisely deskew the time differences between instrument channels of current and voltage probes, necessary when you are using the probes in power measurement applications.

*1 Note that some probe models listed do not utilize the TekVPI interface. Probes which use the TekProbe-BNC interface require the TPA-BNC adapter to connect to a TekVPI oscilloscope.

*2 TEK-DPG is not supported by the DPO7000 Series. The Probe Calibration output from the DPO7000 Series generates the appropriate source signal for the Power Measurement Deskew Fixture.

*3 Mode 4 is a universal mode for high attenuation probes. High-voltage probes and current probes can always use Mode 4.
