BB1000-xx breakout box
The simplest and safest way to make a connection to your device under test is to use the Tektronix BB1000-xx breakout
box. The breakout box provides a line output socket to power the device under test, and 4 x 4 mm sockets for direct
connection to the Tektronix power analyzer terminals.
Models
There are three v ersions of the breakout box, differing by the type of line socket:
Model BB1000-NA: 120 V North America
Model BB1000-EU: 240 V Europe
Model BB1000-UK: 240 V United Kingdom
All models include a 10 Amp power cord and instructions.

1. IEC line input connector – connect the line cord of the breakout box to this connector.
2. Line output socket – plug the power cord from the device under test into this connector.
3. Voltage connections – the VHI and VLO
Load
connections are used for measuring power consumption under normal
load conditions of the device under test. To take measurements in low-power (standby mode), the VHI and VLO
Source
connections are used.
4. Current connections – the AHI and ALO terminals typically connect to the AHI and ALO inputs on the power analyzer,
for currents from 1 A to 20 A. For currents less than 500 mA, the AHI terminal of the breakout box is connected to the
A1A (1 Amp) input of the power analyzer.
