Default Re: Tektronix 465B Scope - Some problems.

Tektronix carried the probe range switching a stage further on the 485 scope. There were 3 lights that could cope with X1, X10 and X100 probes. X1 was open circuit on the switching ring. X10 had one value of resistor fitted and X100 had an even lower value. I presume that only Tek's own probes had this facility. It would be interesting to find out if Tek, or anyone else, produced an adaptor to allow the use of third party probes.

Edit: I downloaded my copy of the 465 manual from the bama site. The quality seems to be OK.
