Getting Started
Standard Acce
ssories
The following a ccessories are shipped with the amplifiers and probes.
Amplifiers
The follow i ng accessories are shipped with the TCPA300 and TCPA400
amplifiers.
Power Cord (customer-chosen option)
BNC Cable
Termination, 50 Ω 2W
TEKPROBE Interconnect Cable
User Manual (English or Japanese; customer-chosen language option)
Certificate of Traceable Calibration
Probes
When you order a current probe, you will receive these accessories:
Probe cover
Probe ground lead, 6 inch length (TCP305 and TCP312 only)
Instruction Sheet
Certificate of Traceable Calibration
Optional Accessories
You can order the following optional accessories for the amplifiers and probes.
One-turn 50 Ω current loop. The current loop is used in the performance
verification procedure for checking the performance of the TCPA300 Amplifier
and the compatible probes.
CT-4 High-Current Transformer. If you need to measure high-amplitude AC
currents, consider using the CT-4 with the TCP303 a nd TCP312 probes. The
CT-4 provides step-down ratios of 20:1 or 1000:1. For more information
about the CT-
4, consult your Tektronix sales representative.
TCPA Calibration Adapter. Use the TCPA Calibration Adapter to verify the
amplifier(s) performance independent of the current probes.
Travel Case. The travel case includes room to store one amplifier and two
current probes, along with related cables and adapters.
Deskew Fixture. This fixture converts the PROBE COMPENSATION output
or TRIGGER OUTPUT of the TDS5000 or TDS7000 into a set of test point
connections that allow you a convenient way to compensate for timing
differences between voltage and current probes.
