10X means the probe reduces the measured signal amplitude by a factor of 10 for display on the oscilloscope. This allows measurement of higher voltages without overloading the instrument's input.

Is the P6065A compatible with modern oscilloscopes?

No, the P6065A is designed for analog oscilloscopes with BNC inputs from the 1960s-1980s. Modern digital oscilloscopes typically require active probes or specific probe adapters.

What is the input impedance of this probe?

The P6065A has an input impedance of 10 MΩ (megohms) at the 10X setting, typical for passive probes of this generation.

Can this probe be used for high-speed measurements?

The P6065A's 100 MHz bandwidth is adequate for audio-frequency and some low-speed RF applications, but not suitable for high-speed digital or modern RF measurement.

What oscilloscopes work with the P6065A?

Compatible with classic Tektronix analog oscilloscopes including the 465, 545, and 7000 series, as well as other analog scopes with standard BNC connectors.

Is the probe passive or active?

The P6065A is a passive probe, meaning it contains no active electronics or batteries. Passive probes are inherently reliable and stable over long periods.
