The '''Tektronix P170CF''' is a cathode-follower probe intended for use with the [[517|517 scope]], or a [[128|Type 128 power supply]].
The '''Tektronix P170CF''' is a cathode-follower probe intended for use with the [[517|517 scope]], or a [[128|Type 128 power supply]].
It came with three attenuator heads.

The P170CF uses a [[5718]] triode.   
The P170CF uses a [[5718]] triode.  It requires a 170 Ω termination which is built into the 517 and needs to be externally connected for other instruments (the ''B170-R'' terminator with [[UHF connector]]s was available for this).
