For TCP202 operation with other TDS400, TDS500, TDS600, and TDS700 Series oscilloscopes, the scale factor will be correct but measurement will be indicated as V instead of A.

Increase the accuracy of your current measurements

The accuracy of the TCP202 AC/DC current probe is normally 3%. However, the accuracy may be improved to 1% when the probe is calibrated on certain TDS oscilloscope models using the optional Calibrator P/N 015-0672-50. This improved accuracy is available on the TDS Oscilloscopes Series TDS500, TDS600, and TDS700, however the optional calibrator is only functional with the TDS500, TDS600, or TDS700 Series oscilloscope calibrator pins.
