Page 4: Safety Instructions
ZD Series High Impedance Differential Probes Safety Instructions This section contains instructions that must be observed to keep this oscilloscope accessory operating in a correct and safe condition. You are required to follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the precautions specified in this section. -
Page 5: Operating Environment
Altitude: Up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m) Introduction The ZD series of differential probes (ZD500, ZD1000 and ZD1500) are high bandwidth, high impedance, active differential probes. The probes feature low noise, very high input impedance and high common mode rejection, and are ideally suited for signal integrity measurements in high-speed digital systems. -
Page 6: Standard Accessories
ZD Series High Impedance Differential Probes Standard Accessories The ZD series probes are provided with numerous standard accessories to make probing different test points easier than ever. Quantity Part Number Standard Accessory PACC-PT001 Straight Tip PACC-ZD005 Swivel Tip Adapter PACC-ZD004 Tip Saver PACC-ZD002 Solder-in Lead... - Page 7 User Manual Tips Straight Tip The straight tip is rugged and designed for general probing. Fits in either probe socket. Swivel Tip Adapter The swivel tip adapter is designed for multi-purpose browsing and features adjustable tip spacing to reach test points .300” apart with Z-axis compliance.
- Page 8 ZD Series High Impedance Differential Probes Leads Long Right Angle Lead This lead has a socket on one end and a square pin on the other to connect to the input or ground socket of the probe body, and may be used for general purpose probing or can be connected to the Mini-Grabber or Micro-Grabber accessories.

Page 9: Deskewing With The Pcf-200
User Manual Freehand Probe Holder The FreeHand lets you focus on the oscilloscope screen instead of on maintaining contact to multiple test points. It allows the user to concentrate on what is really important – the waveform. It is designed to keep most of the weight on the probe tip and will prevent lost contact when a bump to the table shakes the circuit under test. -
Page 10: Probe Input Loading
ZD Series High Impedance Differential Probes Probe Input Loading Attaching any probe to a test circuit adds some loading to the circuit under test. In most applications, the high impedance of the probe, compared to the impedance of the circuit under test, imparts an insignificant load to the test circuit. -
Page 11: Probe Operation
Connecting the Probe to an Oscilloscope The ZD series probes has been designed for use with Teledyne LeCroy platforms equipped with the ProBus interface. When you attach the probe output connector to the oscilloscope’s input connector, the oscilloscope... -
Page 12: Connecting The Probe To The Test Circuit
Operation with an Oscilloscope When the probe is connected to any compatible Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope, the displayed scale factor and measurement values are automatically adjusted. Turning the front panel Volts/Div knob controls the oscilloscope’s scale factor to give full available dynamic range up to 2.25 V/div. -
Page 13: Care And Maintenance
The ZD series probes utilizes fine pitch surface mount devices. It is therefore impractical to attempt to repair in the field. Defective probes must be returned to a Teledyne LeCroy service facility for diagnosis and exchange. Defective probes under warranty are repaired or replaced. A probe that is not under warranty can be exchanged for a factory refurbished probe for a modest fee. -
Page 14: Performance Verification
ZD Series High Impedance Differential Probes Performance Verification This procedure can be used to verify the warranted characteristics of a ZD series differential probe (ZD500, ZD1000, ZD1500). It tests: Output Zero Voltage • LF Attenuation Accuracy • The recommended calibration interval for the ZD series models is one year. - Page 15 Pomona 2249-C-36 36" Cable Pomona 5697-36 BNC Tee Connector Male to Dual Female Pomona 3285 Calibration Fixture 0.1 mm square pin head Teledyne LeCroy PCF200 Calibration Fixture ProBus Extender Cable Teledyne LeCroy PROBUS-CF01 Terminator, 50 Ω ± 0.05% Teledyne LeCroy...

Page 16: Test Setup And Preliminary Procedure
NOTE: The correct operation of a ZD series probe requires software version 6.4.1.x or higher. The oscilloscope software version can be verified by selecting Utilities > Utilities Setup > Status. Contact your local Teledyne LeCroy representative or visit teledynelecroy.com/softwaredownload if the software in your oscilloscope requires updating. - Page 17 User Manual 6. Record the value of P1: mean (C1) as Output Zero on the Test Record. 7. Verify the absolute value of Output Zero is less than the value given on the probe data sheet. B. LF Attenuation Accuracy 1.
- Page 18 ZD Series High Impedance Differential Probes 12. Calculate the gain error by taking 100 * [(Measured Output Voltage) – (Expected Output Voltage)] / (Expected Output Voltage). Record this value as the % Gain Error. Verify that this is within the limits given on the data sheet.
- Page 19 1. 2. Set the RF signal generator to 1.5 GHz for ZD1500, 1 GHz for ZD1000, or 500 MHz for ZD500 at +6 dBm output. 3. Using the square-pin microstrip path, connect the PCF200 to the oscilloscope C2 input using an SMA-BNC adapter.
