The Tektronix P6962 is a 34-channel single-ended high-density compression probe engineered for signal acquisition in complex, high-speed digital circuits. Built on D-Max Probing Technology, it delivers minimal loading effects and signal integrity through a connectorless probing system with cLGA contacts. The probe comprises 32 data channels and 2 clock/qualifier channels, optimized for 4X demultiplexing mode to minimize board real estate while maintaining reliable connections to densely packed layouts.
