What sampling oscilloscopes is the 82A04 compatible with? The 82A04 is compatible only with the CSA8200 and the TDS8200. It is not compatible with the CSA8000, TDS8000, CSA8000B, and TDS8000B. This FAQ Applies to:	58921
What replaces the SIU800? The SIU800 (Static Isolation Unit) was replaced by the 80A02 and P8018. This combination provides ESD and EOS protection to both the customer’s Device Under Test and the 80E04. The 80A02 is also compatible with the 11801C and CSA803C sampling … This FAQ Applies to:	58916
What printers will work with the VM700A or VM700T? The original VM700 and early VM700As were equipped with 3 installed drivers for available printers. The driver list includes ASCII text (no graphics capability), Postscript (postscript level 2) and Epson LQ (P2 version). Later versions of the VM700A and … This FAQ Applies to:	58906
What printer is compatible with the 370B or 371B curve tracer? The only printer supported by the 370B/371B is the Citizen IDP-3240 Thermal Printer. It is not sold by Tektronix but is available from CBM America Link to CBM America IDP-3240 Compact thermal printer with 80 column mode for receipt, journal, coupon … This FAQ Applies to:	58901
What Passive Probe can I use on my spectrum analyzer? The P6158 is a 3 GHz probe; the P6150 is a 9 GHz probe (SMA Output, requires an SMA Female to N Male adapter). Because these probes are DC coupled, a DC Block must be used between the probe output and the spectrum analyzer input. This FAQ Applies to:	58896
What Passive Current Probe can I use on my spectrum analyzer? The CT1 (25 kHz-1GHz), CT2 (1.2 kHz-200MHz), and CT6 (250 kHz-2GHz) are all compatible. This FAQ Applies to:	58891
What is the use of external power supply (3.3V) in the HDMI test setup? The below diagram illustrate the schematic for one TMDS data pair. To measure the Voltage across the data channel you need Rt and Avcc. The test fixture has 50ohm resistor as RT, the test fixture requires an external power supply 3.3V which is applied … This FAQ Applies to:	58886
What is the USB port used for? There are two ports available. USB slave and USB master. These ports are how we connect the floppy disk drive option (option FD), and you can control the NetTek from your PC using Virtual CE (option VCE), and you can get to folders and files and explore … This FAQ Applies to:	58881
What is the TekProbe interface? In addition to coupling the signal from the probe to the oscilloscope the TekProbe interface provides power and offset to active probes. It also allows the oscilloscope to sense the probe's attenuation factor and/or probe type such as a 100X probe or … This FAQ Applies to:	58876
What is the TCP202 calibrator and what oscilloscope models does it work with? With some TDS oscilloscopes, you can compensate the probe for maximum accuracy using the optional calibrator. Use the calibrator only if your oscilloscope displays the A_ symbol when the current probe is connected. The TCP202 calibrator is compatible … This FAQ Applies to:	58871
