Connecting The Adapters; Probus Interface - LeCroy WaveMaster 8600A Operator's Manual

Connecting the Adapters

The mating end of the ProLink adapter has four fastening clips, as shown here:
When installing an adapter on the instrument's connector panel, align the male 6-pin connector with
the female connector and push the adapter straight in. There will be some resistance and you'll
hear clicks as the four clips slide into place. Then tighten the captive screws.
When removing an adapter, loosen the two captive screws. Push down on the adapter to unseat
the clips. This will require some force and will be initially noisy, but no damage will result to the
connector, the floating female BMA connector, or the pins, which can be 15 degrees off axis when
being mated or unmated.

ProBus Interface

LeCroy's ProBus® probe system provides a complete measurement solution from probe tip to
oscilloscope display. ProBus allows you to control transparent gain and offset directly from your
front panel. It is particularly useful for voltage, differential, and current active probes. It uploads gain
and offset correction factors from the ProBus EPROMs and automatically compensates to achieve
fully calibrated measurements.
This intelligent interconnection between your instrument and a wide range of accessories offers
important advantages over standard BNC and probe ring connections. ProBus ensures correct
input coupling by auto-sensing the probe type, thereby eliminating the guesswork and errors that
occur when attenuation or amplification factors are set manually.
