The Tektronix P6042 is a DC to 50 MHz current probe introduced in 1967. It was designed by Cal Hongel.
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, introduced about a decade later, is a redesign of the P6042 with removable probes.
