| Tektronix AM 503B Current Probe Amplifier
The Tektronix AM 503B Current Probe
Amplifier is the heart of the AM 503S System. The
Tektronix AM 503B amplifies and sums the voltage outputs from the
transformer and Hall Effect device and outputs it to the measurement
instrument. It also provides the Hall Effect Device bias voltage and a
reverse "bucking" current which resists saturation of the A6302/A6303 Current Probe core.
All functions are microprocessor
controlled, providing a significant improvement in ease of use and
functionality. The Tektronix AM 503B uses bright, easy-to-read LEDs to
display current/Division settings which are controlled with up/down push
buttons. A single push button provides both Degauss and auto-balance
functions. An additional significant improvement with the Tektronix AM
503B is that individual A6302/A6303 probes no longer need to be calibrated with a specific amplifier but can
be interchanged between AM 503Bs and AM 5030s. The AM 503B and the AM 5030
both support the new XL
Series of current probes. |
