HANDLING THE PROBE
Exercise care when handling and storing the probe. Always handle the
probe by the probe body or compensation box. Avoid putting excessive
strain or exposing the probe cable to sharp bends.
CONNECTING THE PROBE TO THE TEST INSTRUMENT
The ZS1000 probe has been designed for use with LeCroy's
WaveSurfer, WaveRunner, WaveMaster, and WavePro platforms
equipped with the ProBus interface. When you attach the probe output
connector to the oscilloscope's input connector, the oscilloscope will
recognize the probe, provide proper termination and activate the probe
control functions in the user interface.
CONNECTING THE PROBE TO THE TEST CIRCUIT
To maintain the high performance capability of the probe in
measurement applications, care must be exercised in connecting the
probe to the test circuit. Increasing the parasitic capacitance or
inductance in the input paths may introduce a "ring" or slow the rise time
of fast signals. Input leads which form a large loop area will pick up any
radiated electromagnetic field which passes through the loop and may
induce noise into the probe input.
Using one of the available accessories makes the ZS1000 probe with its
small profile and low mass head ideally suited for applications in dense
circuitry.
OPERATION WITH A LECROY OSCILLOSCOPE
When the ZS1000 probe is connected to any compatible LeCroy
oscilloscope, the displayed scale factor and measurement values will be
automatically adjusted.
Control through the oscilloscope's interface can be found in the
Coupling menu of the channel to which the probe is connected.
Turning the Volts/Div knob will control the oscilloscope's scale factor to
give full available dynamic range up to 2 V/div.
