P7713

The P7713TriMode probe provides the highest probe fidelity available for real-time oscilloscopes. In addition, with connectivity innovations such as solder down tips with the probe’s input buffer mounted only a few millimeters from the end of the tip, the P7713probe provides unmatched usability for connecting to today’s most challenging electronic designs.

P7713Tektronix TriMode Probes

With TriMode probing one probe setup makes differential, single-ended, and common mode measurements accurately. This unique capability allows you to work more effectively and efficiently, switching between differential, single-ended and common mode measurements without moving the probe's connection points.

TekFlex connector technology

The P7713TriMode probes use the new TekFlex connector technology that combines a high-speed signal path with power and communication support for an active buffer tip in a single, easy-to-connect accessory connector. The TekFlex connector has a pinch-to-open design that when open requires minimal force to attach an accessory tip. When the TekFlex connector is closed, it provides a secure connection to the accessory to avoid accidental disconnections. With the TekFlex connector, the P7713probe offers a set of active probe tips with the probe's buffer amplifier only millimeters from the input connections. The short signal path enabled with the active tips provides high fidelity and a high impedance input. It also minimizes signal loss, capacitance, and additive noise.

Browser accessory for handheld probing

When you need to make a quick measurement or debug a problem, the P7713probe browser accessory provides a simple-to-use option. With precision-engineered tips that are easy to see and position accurately, the P77BRWSR handheld browser accessory enables hand or fixture probing and is ideal for probing fine pitch components and differential traces with spacing as narrow as 0.2 mm (.008 in). The browser's tips have a full range of compliance and are adjustable in spacing using a convenient thumb wheel. A headlight on the tip enhances the visibility of the probe point and can be switched on and off as needed. The browser tips are constructed of high-strength BeCu and super ceramic resistors (patent pending pin technology). With 16 GHz bandwidth performance, the P77BRWSR handheld browser accessory enables hand or fixtured probing with signal fidelity and convenience.

Coaxial input (SMA) adapter

RF/coaxial connectors, such as SMA, are often found on test fixtures or on prototype board designs. Attaching a P7713probe to these on-board connectors is easy with the SMA adapter. The P77C292MM adapter allows you to connect to 2.92 mm, 3.5 mm or SMA connectors with full bandwidth and low noise. The P77C292MM adapter includes TriMode functionality enabling differential, single-ended, and common mode measurements. For compliance testing of the HDMI and DisplayPort standards, the P77C292MM and P7713probe is fully supported in Tektronix automated measurement suites for these standards. With the P77C292MM adapter attached, a P7713series probe can provide the DC termination voltage required by HDMI and other high-speed communication standards. The termination voltage can be set manually or automatically using voltage sense circuitry in the P7713probe and covers a range of ±4 V .
