Requires 2. 4/1.85 mm to 2.92 mm SMA adapter (Tektronix part number 011- 0157- 00,
standard with these sampling modules). Also requires custom cable not available
from Tektronix: use a short high-quality SMA cable or fabricate your own semi-rigid
cable.

Recommended for use with 80A03 TekConnect Probe I n terface Module.
The 80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module does not support the Tektronix
P6209 probe. For this probe, the interface disables the sampling module inputs.
There is also no support for TekProbe Level 2 legacy probes that utilize the
TCA-1MEG, TCA-BNC, and TCA75 adapters.
The TekConnect Interface
Power for the 80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module, sampling module, and
TekConnect probes is supplied through the cable that connects the TekConnect
Probe Interface Module to the sampling oscilloscope. The same cable also
provides a data and communications path from the probe contact pins through
the interface to the oscilloscope. Power, signal, offset, and probe characteristic
data transfers through this interface.
When a probe is connected, the TekConnect Probe Interface Module reads
information from the probe, identifies the device, and turns on the appropriate
power supplies.
