P6136 Instruction Manual i

General Safety Summary

Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to

this product or any products connected to it. To avoid potential hazards, use this

product only as specified.

Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures.

Connect and Disconnect Properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test

leads while they are connected to a voltage source.

and markings on the product. Consult the product manual for further ratings

information before making connections to the product.

The common terminal is at ground potential. Do not connect the common

terminal to elevated voltages.

Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that

exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.

Do Not Operate with Suspected Failures. If you suspect there is damage to this

product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.

Do Not Operate in Wet/DampConditions.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.

Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.

P6136 Instruction Manual 1

Operating Basics

The P6136 probe is a 350 MHz, 10X, 1.3 meter, passive voltage probe designed

specifically for use with Tektronix 2400 Series oscilloscopes having bandwidths

greater than 150 MHz. The P6136 comes standard with the Tektronix subminia-

ture-size probe tip/hybrid assembly and is fully compatible with the Tektronix

Subminiature family of accessories. The Compact series probe tip/hybrid

assembly comes standard on the P6136 Option 25. The Compact probe

tip/hybrid assembly is slightly larger in diameter than the Subminiature series,

offering greater durability and ruggedness in those environments and applica-

tions where required. The compact tip is not compatible with the Subminiature

series except for the ground collar and the low-inductance (2.3 inch) ground lead.

The P6136 Option 25 is supplied with a complement of accessories; optional

accessories are available for both tip sizes.

You may convert both probe tip assemblies to Tektronix Miniature series probe

tips by using the subminiature/compact-to-miniature probe-tip adapter (See the

optional accessory lists for each probes in the Replaceable Parts section

beginning on page 14).

WARNING. To avoid electric shock when using the probe, do not touch the

metallic portions of the probe head while connected to a voltage source.

Probe Compensation

Due to variations in oscilloscope input characteristics, probe low-frequency

compensation should be checked and adjusted after moving the probe from one

oscilloscope input to another. To adjust the probe low-frequency compensation,

apply a 1 kHz square wave (such as an oscilloscope calibrator output) to the

probe tip. Using a nonconductive low-reactance alightment tool, adjust the probe

compensation capacitor through the hole in the compensation box to obtain the

squarest waveform at the front corner edge. See page 9 for complete low- and

high-frequency compensation adjustment procedures.

Inductive Effects of Probe Grounding

Ground lead inductance can significantly reduce the performance of a probe. As

shown in Figure 1, the ground lead inserts inductance into the signal path

forming a series-resonant circuit with the probe input capacitance Cin and

Rsource as damping. This forms a resonant circuit with f0+1B(2pLC

Ǹ).

Figure 1: Circuit model: test point and probe input

A six-inch ground lead has approximately 150 nH of inductance, which produces

an f0of approximately 130 MHz within the frequency range of the instrument.

This greatly degrades rise time, bandwidth, and transient accuracy as shown in

Figure 2.

Figure 2: Typical step response with six-inch ground lead

For best results, ensure that ground-lead inductance is at a minimum. Two

methods for doing so are the Low-Inductance Ground Lead and the Klipkit.

Operating Basics

P6136 Instruction Manual 3

The low-inductance ground lead provided with all Tektronix P6136 probes

allows for a substantial reduction in ground-lead inductance, approximately

32 nH instead of 150 nH.

To install the low-inductance ground lead, refer to Figure 3 and perform the

following steps:

1. Unscrew and remove the ribbed-tip shell and slide off the ground collar with

ground lead.

2. Slip on the low-inductance ground lead collar (1) and reinstall the ribbed

plastic tip cover.

3. Install the low-inductance lead (2) from the accessory pack.

Figure 3: Low-inductance ground lead

The optional Klipkit connector (see the optional accessory lists beginning on

page 14) provides a hands-free signal and ground connection to an integrated

circuit with up to 16 pins. The Klipkit ground is acquired by inserting a

connecting pin (included) into the Klipkit at the proper pin location. The probe

body (with ribbed-tip cover removed) then makes a signal connection when

inserted into other pin locations.

Grounding the Probe

Connect the probe to the instrument and connect the ground lead to ground

before making any measurement. Ensure that no part of the ground lead contacts

voltage in the circuit under test. Except for the probe tip and BNC center

conductor, all accessible metal (including the ground clip) is connected to the

BNC shell.

WARNING. To avoid electric shock when using the probe, keep your fingers

behind the finger guard on the probe body. See Figure 5 below.
