The '''Tektronix 7A14''' is a 120 MHz [[7000-series scopes|7000 series]] current probe amplifier
The '''Tektronix 7A14''' is a 120 MHz current probe amplifier vertical plug-in for [[7000-series scopes|7000 series]], intended to be used with passive current probes such as the [[P6021]] and [[P6022]].
vertical plug-in intended for use with current probes such as the [[P6021]] and [[P6022]].
 
The 7A14 is one of the original plug-in modules introduced at the start of the 7000 series in 1969.

In the 7A14, the ring around the input [[BNC connector]] that is used to identify ×10/×100 probes on voltage probes
In the 7A14, the ring around the input [[BNC connector]] that is used to identify ×10/×100 probes on voltage probes serves the purpose of detecting the difference between the P6021 and P6022 probes, and switching in appropriate gain and frequency compensation.
serves the purpose of detecting the difference between the P6021 and P6022 probes,
The P6021 shorts this ring to ground, directly switching three relays connected to −15 V internally. When connecting a [[P6019]] probe, the ring must also be grounded but the probe connector does not have the matching pin.  The [[131-0750-00]] adapter solves this problem.

The front panel gain control screwdriver adjustment affects gain for either P6021 or P6022. 


==Specifications==
The front panel gain control screwdriver adjustment affects gain for either P6021 or P6022, i.e. swapping probes requires re-adjustment.
