-Many Tektronix instruments provide power for active probes.
+Many Tektronix instruments '''provide power for active probes'''.
-There have been several distinct versions:
+A number of different configurations were used over time:
 * The [[513]] provides +225 V, +6.3 V, and a variable supply producing +15 V to +150 V, on a 4-pin connector.
-* The [[517]] and [[128]] provide +120 V and +6.3 V for Type [[P500CF]] cathode-follower probes.
+* The [[517]], [[128]] and [[1121]] provide +120 V and +6.3 V for [[P170CF]] or [[P500CF]] cathode-follower probes.
-* The [[1S1]], [[3S1]] and [[3S76]] provide +100 V and −12.2 V for Type [[P6032]] cathode-follower probes and [[282]] active adapter.
+* The [[1S1]], [[3S1]] and [[3S76]] provide +100 V and −12.2 V for [[P6032]] cathode-follower probes or [[282]] active adapters.
-* The [[4S1]] provides +100 V, −12.6 V, and −25.2 V.
+* The [[4S1]] provides +100 V, −12.6 V, and −25.2 V for [[P6032]] probes or [[282]] active adapters.
-* The [[N]] provides +100 V and 6.3V AC for Type [[P6025]] cathode-follower probes.
+* The [[N]] provides +100 V and 6.3 V<sub>AC</sub> for [[P6025]] cathode-follower probes.
 * The [[015-0073-00]] has a 3-pin probe power connector (Sealectro 55-850-0018-98(?)), the [[454]]/[[454A]] a pair of these, providing +12.5 V and −12.5 V for probes [[P6045]], ...
-* [[7000-series scopes]] (not all models), [[475]], [[485]], the [[1101]] probe power supply, and the [[2707]] tracking generator provide +15 V, +5 V, and −15 V through a [[LEMO S-series connector]].
+* [[7000-series scopes]] (not all models), [[475]], [[485]], the [[1101]] probe power supply, and the [[2707]] tracking generator provide +15 V, +5 V, and −15 V through a [[LEMO S-series connector]] for probes like [[P6201]], [[P6202A]], [[P6230]], [[P6051]] etc.
 * [[Tekprobe BNC connector|TekProbe BNC]], [[Tekprobe SMA connector|TekProbe SMA]] and [[TekConnect interface|TekConnect]] are proprietary probe-scope interfaces that combine signal and probe power as well as control (e.g. offset voltage), and provide the scope with information about the type of probe connected.
