Instruction Manual
WARRANTY
All Tektronix instruments are warranted against defective materials and workman ship for one year. Tektronix transformers, manufactured in our own plant, are warranted for the life of the instrument.
Any questions with respect to the warranty mentioned above should be taken up with your Tektronix Field Engineer.
Tektronix repair and replacement-part service is geared directly to the field, there fore all requests for repairs and replacement parts should be directed to the Tektronix Field Office or Representative in your area. This procedure will assure you the fastest possible service. Please include the instrument Type and Serial number with all requests for parts or service.

Introduction
The P6006 Probe is o passive probe with 1 OX attenuation, designed for oscilloscopes having an input resistance of 1 meg ohm and input capacitance of up to 55 picadors (pf). The probe decreases resistivity and capacities loading on the circuit under test.
Characteristics
| Attenuation Factor | 10 x, ±3% |
| Input Resistance | 10 meg ohms, ±-2% |
| Probe Resistance | 9 meg ohms, +2/ |
| *Input Capacitance Rise time | See Table l |
| Maximum Voltage Rating | 600 vdc or 600 vac peak-to peak or 600 v peak and recombined. Maximum volt age must be aerated at higher frequencies; see “Derating Curves”. |
| Cable Length | Nominally 3.5′, 6′, 9′, or 12′ measured between the bases of the cable strain reliefs. |
| Environmental Capacitance | The 9-meg ohm resistor has been factory installed for best transient response. To replace the -meg ohm resistor, a new probe body must be ordered through your local Tektronix Field Office. |
| Operating Temperature | The probe will operate normally at temperatures up to 75° C. |
See the input R and X% vs frequency curves.

| 3.5 ft | ≈ 7.5 pf | ≈ 9.5 pf | ≈ 5nsec | ≈ 13nsec |
| 6 ft | ≈ 8.5 pf | ≈ 11pf | ≈ 7 nsec | ≈ 14 nsec |
| 9 ft | ≈ 11 pf | ≈ 13.5 pf | ≈ 7 nsec | ≈ 14nsec |
| 12 ft | ≈ 13pf | ≈ 15.5 pl | ≈ 14nsec | ≈ 18 nsec |
Compensation
The P6006 Probe should be compensated each time it is transferred from one oscilloscope or plug-in unit to another. This will ensure accurate attenuation of transient and sine-wave signals.
To compensate the probe, touch the probe tip to the oscilloscope calibrator output connector and display several cycles of the signal. Loosen the flanges locking sleeve several turns. See Fig. l(a). Adjust for the correct waveform by turning the probe body and tip assembly while holding the knurled section at the base of the probe. Fig. 1 (b) shows waveform for a line frequency oscilloscope calibrator, and Fig. 1 (c) shows waveform for a 1-kc oscilloscope calibrator. Alter obtaining the correct waveform, hold the probe body and tip assembly and carefully tighten the locking sleeve. Make the final adjustment by holding the locking sleeve and probe body while turning the probe base.
Derating Curves
The debating curves show the maximum continuous wave voltages that can be applied to the P6006 Probe at higher frequencies. To observe pulses with a given duty cycle and repetition rate, use the following information to determine the maximum peak voltage of the probe.
Maximum applied voltage at a particular frequency, E:
For pulse duration’s longer than second, consider the signal as de.
