P5205 Instruction Manual
15
Specificatio ns
The specifications in Tables 2 through 6 apply to a P5205 probe
installed on a Tektronix TDS 460A oscilloscope. When the probe is
used with another oscilloscope, the oscilloscope must follow these
specifications:
H An input impedance of 1 MΩ
H An input capacitance range of between 15 and 20 pF
H A bandwidth greater than 400 MHz
The probe must have a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes and be
in an environment that does not exceed the limits described in
Table 2.
Specifications for the P5205 probe fall into three categories:
warranted, t ypical, and nominal characteristics.
WARNING. Special fixtures are required to examine specifications at
the maximum frequency and voltage levels and should be conducted
only by qualified Service Personnel. See the Service section for more
detail.
Warranted Characteristics
Warranted characteristics in Tables 2 and 3 describe guaranteed
performance within tolerance limits or certain type-tested require-
ments. Warranted characteristics that have checks in the Perfor-
mance Verification section appear in boldface type.
