Preface
This document provides information for installing and using the Tektronix TICP Series Active Isolated Current Shunt Probes.
The probe provide unparalleled bandwidth, accuracy, ease of use, and isolation in current shunt measurements.
Compensation box
The TekVPI compensation (comp) box connects the measurement system to one of the input channels on the oscilloscope. Power is
supplied to the measurement system through the TekVPI interface of the oscilloscope. The LEDs on the comp box provide a means for
indicating the overall status of the probe.
Probe head
The probe head provides an interface between the device-under-test (DUT) and the compensation box. The probe head contains the
isolation barrier that separates the DUT from the earth ground.
Probe tips
Probe tip options are available to connect the probe head to the DUT.
