Applications

The Tektronix P6601 is a temperature probe designed for use with digital multimeters and compatible Tektronix measurement instruments. This type of probe was used in electronics labs, field service, and industrial measurement applications where accurate surface or contact temperature readings were needed alongside electrical measurements. Manuals like this one are essential for technicians who need to calibrate the probe, understand its electrical and environmental operating limits, or perform maintenance — particularly for those working with original P6601 hardware where original documentation is scarce. The February 1979 first-printing date helps users confirm they have the correct edition for their instrument.
