Applications

The Tektronix P6131 is a 10X passive voltage probe designed for use with Tektronix oscilloscopes. Passive probes of this type attenuate the input signal by a factor of 10, allowing the oscilloscope to measure higher voltages and higher-frequency signals while presenting a higher impedance to the circuit under test — reducing loading on sensitive circuits. The P6131 was part of Tektronix's broad line of probes produced in the early 1980s, an era when Tektronix dominated the oscilloscope and probe market. This instruction manual is the primary reference for technicians performing probe compensation adjustments, bandwidth verification, and module-level maintenance or repair. It is useful for anyone calibrating or servicing a P6131 in a test bench environment, as well as for educators and collectors maintaining period-correct Tektronix instrumentation.
