    COMPATIBILITY

    1973 catalog describes using the P6055 probes with a 7A13 or 1A5

    CHARACTISTICS

    The P6055 is a miniature low-capacitance, 10X Probe designed for use with Tektronix differential ampifiers having nominal input capacitances from 20 pF to 47 pF. The attenuation ratio is adjustable to 10X to compensate for differences in input resistance of the amplifier (the amplifier input resistance must be 1 MΩ ± 2%). A special locking type readout connector allows the probe to be used with instruments with or without readout capability.

    When two P6055 Probes are used to drive the two inputs of a differential amplifier, the ability to change the attenuation ratio of one probe versus the other is helpful in maintaining the CMRR of the system. The use of a matched pair of P6055 differential probes provide the best possible system CMRR.
