Probes & 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 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 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.
For support in choosing the correct probe for your application please consult the Tektronix Oscilloscope Probe & Accessory Selector Tool page.
| Probe Type | Bandwidth | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active Voltage | 750 MHz - 6 GHz | 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 | DC - 2 GHz | 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 | 1 MHz - 20 GHz | 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 | 25 MHz - 1 GHz | 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. | |
| Low Capacitance | 3 GHz - 9 GHz | Minimizes DUT loading for a more accurate characterization of how your device is performing with or without the measurement system. | |
| Optical | 250 MHz - 1.25 GHz | 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 Voltage | 15 MHz - 500 MHz | Most common, general purpose probe type. Designed for cost efficiency and to be mechanically robust; offer a wide dynamic range and large input resistance. | |
| Logic Analyzer | Supports a wide range of state speeds |
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. |
