HVD3000 / HVD3000A High-Voltage Differential Probes Functional Test Procedure This procedure should be performed to confirm the basic operation of an HVD3000 or HVD3000A probe or to aid in determining the source of a problem rather than to verify the accuracy of the probe.
Operator’s Manual Performance Verification Procedure This procedure can be used to verify the warranted characteristics of an HVD3000 or HVD3000A probe. If the product does not meet specifications, it should be returned to a . A s there are no user accessible adjustments, there is no adjustment procedure.
HVD3000 / HVD3000A High-Voltage Differential Probes Preliminary Procedure 1. Connect the probe under test to the female end of the ProBus Extension Cable. Connect the male end of the ProBus Extension Cable to channel 1 (C1) of the oscilloscope. 2. Turn on the oscilloscope and allow at least 30 minutes warm-up time before performing the Certification Procedure.

The output of the generator is measured with a DMM or oscilloscope.
NOTE: For accurate measurements, connect the probe to the oscilloscope and allow it to warm up for at least 20 minutes. When using HVD3000 probes, perform Auto Zero prior to connecting probe leads to the DUT. HVD3000A probes may be connected to the DUT during Auto Zero.
Operating with an Oscilloscope When the probe is connected to a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope, the displayed scale factor and measurement values will be adjusted to account for the effective gain of the probe.
Page 33
HVD3000 / HVD3000A High-Voltage Differential Probes Offset Offset allows you to remove a DC bias voltage from the differential input signal while maintaining DC coupling. This ensures that the probe will never be overdriven while a signal is displayed on screen and prevents inaccurate measurements.
Page 34
Operator’s Manual AC Coupling In general, using offset to adjust a differential DC voltage on the screen is the preferred method to measure transient signals in the presence of a larger DC voltage. The offset has limits that will cause a signal that is beyond the linear operating range of the probe to go off the screen, preventing measurement errors.
Page 35
Auto Zero is invoked manually from the Probe dialog that appears behind the Channel setup dialog when the probe is connected to the oscilloscope. NOTE: When using HVD3000 probes, disconnect the probe from the test circuit before performing Auto Zero. HVD3000A probes may remain connected during Auto Zero.
Performance Verification Procedure is included in this manual. Service Strategy HVD3000 and HVD3000A probes utilize fine-pitch surface mount devices. It is, therefore, impractical to attempt repair in the field. Defective probes must be returned to a CAUTION. Do not remove the covers. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. A defective probe under warranty will be replaced with a factory refurbished probe.
HVD3000 / HVD3000A High-Voltage Differential Probes Reference Common Mode Rejection Ratio The ideal differential probe/amplifier would sense and amplify only the differential mode voltage component and reject the entire common mode voltage component. Real differential amplifiers are not perfect, and a small portion of the common mode voltage component appears at the output.
Operator’s Manual Differential Mode and Common Mode Differential probes sense the voltage difference that appears between the + and – inputs. This is referred to as the Differential or Normal Mode voltage. The voltage component that is referenced to earth and is identical on both inputs is rejected by the amplifier. This is referred to as the Common Mode voltage and can be expressed as: Differential Mode Range and Common Mode Range Differential Mode range is the maximum signal that can be applied between the + and -...
