Increased Performance and Simplicity
The TCP300 and TCP400 Series AC/DC current measurement family
is a highly advanced current measurement system for today's current
measurement needs. When connected to Tektronix oscilloscopes with
TEKPROBE Level II, TekConnect (w/ TCA-BNC), or TekVPI (w/ TPA-BNC)
interfaces, current measurements and calculations are simple and easy.
