PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 1.5 GHz HFP1500 is a small, high frequency active probe designed to meet today's increas-
ing demand for measurements on a variety of test points.
With low input capacitance and high input resistance, circuit loading is minimized.
The HFP1500 can be used with LeCroy's WavePro™, Waverunner™ and LC series oscilloscope
with firmware version 8.7.0 or higher.
When the probe is used with any of these oscilloscopes, an AutoColor ID feature automatically illu-
minates the probe head in the default trace color of the channel to which the probe is connected,
eliminating the need for color bands or other markers.
With the ProBus interface, the HFP1500 becomes an integral part of the oscilloscope. The probe
can be controlled from the oscilloscope's front panel. The oscilloscope provides power to the
probe, so there is no need for a separate power supply or batteries.
When used in combination with an ADPPS power supply, the HFP1500 probe can be used with
non-LeCroy instruments. (See Section 4 for detailed operation with an ADPPS adapter).
