TekVPI connector

The TekVPI interface was introduced in 2006 (superseding the TekConnect interface) and is used in MSO/DPO2000/3000/4000/5000/7000 series scopes.

TekVPI interface

It consists of a plain BNC connector that allows traditional BNC based connections such as from passive probes, with additional surrounding contact pads carrying power and data.
