Re: A Probing Question
You may want to look for an old-fashioned Lo-Z probe like a P6056 (500 Ohm) or P6057 (5000 Ohm). Even with their standard BNC connection, they work well with your more modern digital 'scope and can be

Re: A Probing Question
I have found a similar problem, not with probes, but with circuits. The higher the impedance, the more that the circuit capacitance limits the bandwidth. Most of the 200 Mhz or higher circuits look

Exterior bits and pieces for TDS 500,600 or 700
I just purchased a TDS 600 series scope which had apparently been rack mounted. Consequently, it is missing the rear cover, handle, bottom feet and kickstand. If someone has rack mounted or has a

Re: SG504 or 503 cable
Hi Ancel, That is not the same cable as a 012-0482-00 at all. If everyone can be patient for a few hours more I will test both of those Tektronix cables on a 7S12 TDR along with a couple of commercial

Re: Tek485 - a quick question on disabling/bypassing power supply protection
I had a 485 that hiccupped when I got it. The way I determined the bad rail was to look at the turn-on and turn-off edges while in hiccup mode. One rail didn't get as (proportionally) high when ON,

Good luck, the RIFA caps are worth replacing, especially if you're in 240V land. Make sure you replace them with properly specified X or Y class capacitors, as required. You can find plenty of info
