Revision as of 05:01, 24 May 2016

The Tektronix P6042 is a DC to 50 MHz current probe introduced in 1967.

The sensor contains a current transformer for HF and a hall effect sensor for LF/DC components. The amplifier combines DC/LF and HF signals.

The AM503 is a redesign of the P6042.

Bandwidth	DC to 50 MHz (-3 dB)
