Hi

I've got at Tektronix P6019 AC Current probe (presumeable 10Hz to 40MHz) at
Ebay.com pretty cheap. I do not have the '134 probe amplifier, but I have
been testing it and it seems to work ok with 50 ohms termination at the
scope input directly.

Anyone know of the correct termination or perhaps what compensation is
needed. It does not give the correct signal below approx. 1kHz

Or perhaps someone has a manual they are willing to scan and mail?

Thanks

Klaus

There is a passive terminator the probe plugs into. However, it really is a
quite complicated equalization circuit; it's not a simple terminator.
