Revision as of 00:48, 4 October 2015

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.

Bandwidth	DC to 50 MHz (-3 dB)
Rise time	7 ns
Ranges	1 mA/Div to 1 A/Div (1-2-5)
Output	to 50 Ω scope input at 50 mV/Div
Maximum input	10 A DC+peak AC in 5 mA to 1 A ranges, 0.5 A in 1 mA and 2 mA ranges
Power	90-136 or 180-272 V, 20 W
