  • The 517 and 128 provide +120VDC and +6.3VDC.
  • The 3S1 provides +100VDC and -12.2VDC.
  • The 4S1 provides +100VDC, -12.6VDC, and -25.2VDC.
  • TekProbe is a proprietary probe-scope interface that combines signal and probe power and provides the scope with information about the what type of probe is connected.
