Hello,

Yes, you can use TPA-BNC adapter to use the P5205A with a TBS2000B.

Hello,

Yes, "4200A A12" is the Brazil power cord part #.

Hello: The RSA306B is receive only, it's passive… not a signal generator.

Hello!

A great resource here would be our XYZs of oscilloscopes primer (available here: https://www.tek.com/en/documents/primer/xyzs-oscilloscopes-primer-1), specifically the horizontal system controls and sampling controls sections starting on page 21.

Essentially what is happening here is that the ADC in your scope always operates at its maximum sample rate. When you set something lower than the maximum sample rate while the acquisition mode is set to sample, the scope decimates samples to achieve that setting. For example, if the max sample rate or your instrument is 1GS/s and you have 10MS/s set as your sample rate, the scope will decimate (throw out) 99 out of every 100 samples, leaving only the one required to show 10MS/s.

Hi Res deals with this differently. It will take a boxcar average of many of the samples that would have been decimated and treat those as your individual sample point for that interval. This can reduce noise significantly and is different than traditional waveform averaging because it can be used in a single acquisition on non-repetitive events.

Accuracy specs for the TBS2202B can be found in this document: https://www.tek.com/en/manual/oscilloscope/tbs2000b-series-oscilloscopes-tbs2000-basic-oscilloscope

Hi,

The TCP0030A accuracy specs are as follows:

Accuracy, typical
DC: ±1% of reading

DC to 60 Hz, ≤5 A: ±1%

60 Hz – 5 kHz, ≤5 A: ±1.5%

DC – 5 kHz, >5 A: ±1.5%

The % of reading implies an accuracy within a percentage of the measured value. For example, a DC signal at 1A would have a +- 1% accuracy, meaning it would be accurate within 10mA. That implies a range of 990mA to 1010mA for the true signal value. A 1A signal at 1kHz would have 1.5% accuracy, implying a range from 985mA to 1015mA.

Hello,

The DSA71254C scope does not include probes. Probes are seperate and selected at or after time of purchase. Any replacement parts for the probes would be found in the user manual for the specific probe.

Thanks for contacting us,

The TPP1000 supports operating at temperatures up to 149 °F.

Hello:
Here is the link to the Instruction manual on tek.com:
https://www.tek.com/en/probes-and-accessories/high-voltage-differential-probes-manual-1

The manual has Specification, Performance Verification and adjustment procedures for the P5200A, plus a lot more.

Hello,

There will likely not be a large change in observed rise time using a 100MHz scope, since the scope is the limiting factor. The scope rise time should be around 3.5ns, while the TPP0200 probe is specified at 2.3ns typical.

The TPP0200 has 12pF input C, while the P6139B has 8pF. Depending on your system that may have a slight impact as well.

I hope that helps. Thank you!
