Page 5: Safety Instructions
Comply with the following safety precautions to avoid personal injury or damage to your equipment: Use only as specified. The probe is intended to be used only with compatible Teledyne LeCroy instruments. Using the probe and/or the equipment it is connected to in a manner other than specified may impair the probe’s protection mechanisms. -
Page 6: Probe Handling
RP2060/RP4060 Power Rail Probe Do not remove the probe’s casing. Touching exposed connections may result in electric shock. Do not disassemble the probe or remove inside parts. Refer all service to Teledyne LeCroy personnel. Use only indoors within the operational environment listed. Do not use in wet or explosive atmospheres. -
Page 7: Introduction
User Manual Introduction The Teledyne LeCroy RP2060 and RP4060 Power Rail Probes meet the specific requirements of those who need to acquire a low-voltage DC signal in order to test: Digital power management components such as power management IC (PMIC);... - Page 8 DAC provides ± 60 V range. This permits the offset value to be set with high accuracy (0.1% ± 3 mV). The output is through a BNC connection to the Teledyne LeCroy ProBus interface into a 50 Ω oscilloscope termination. An Auto Zero grounding switch permits Auto Zero of the DC value at any time without disconnecting the probe from the device under test (DUT).

Page 9: Compatibility
Circuit. ProBus Interface The rail probe uses the ProBus interface to connect to Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes. With the ProBus interface, the probe becomes an integral part of the measuring instrument. Power is provided to the probe through the interface, so there is no need for a separate power supply or batteries, and attenuation is automatically identified. -

Page 20: Frequency Response Vs. Source Impedance
RP2060/RP4060 Power Rail Probe Frequency Response vs. Source Impedance The rail probe is intended to probe low-impedance DC voltage and power rails. The probe’s input impedance is optimized to provide a flat frequency response from DC to rated bandwidth when the source impedance is very low, but input impedance declines from 50 kΩ... -
Page 21: Operation
User Manual Operation NOTE: Operation of the probe requires the correct version of MAUI firmware (see p.5). To confirm the version installed, choose Utilities > Utilities Setup from the oscilloscope menu bar, then open the Status dialog. Probe Assembly 1. Attach the SMA-to-MCX extension cable to the SMA connector on the bottom of the probe housing. - Page 22 RP2060/RP4060 Power Rail Probe Measuring Full DC Rail Voltage To measure the full DC rail voltage beyond the ±800 mV input dynamic range rating of the probe, use the rail probe accessories to connect as follows: 1. Set the oscilloscope channel Coupling to DC1MΩ.
- Page 23 User Manual Direct U.FL Connection The U.FL PCB mounts are used with the U.FL Ultra-miniature Coaxial Cables. This connection is only rated to 3 GHz, but the small footprint makes it useful for very dense or compact circuits. 1. Solder the U.FL PCB mounts to the board. NOTE: For manual soldering, maximum temperature is 350 °C for five minutes.
- Page 24 RP2060/RP4060 Power Rail Probe Solder-in Connection The MCX to solder-in connection is a great solution for probing DC rails on a crowded board. The exposed ~3 mm inner conductor is connected to the DC rail, while the exposed ~0.5 mm outer conductor is connected to ground, ideally with as short a ground lead as possible.
- Page 25 User Manual Browser Tip Connection To use the browser tip with the rail probe, remove the MCX extension cable and attach the browser cable to the probe housing. Place the browser tip on the test point, keeping the body as perpendicular to the circuit as posible to minimize parasitic capacitance.

Page 26: Operating From The Oscilloscope
For accurate measurements, allow the probe to warm up for at least 20 minutes after being connected to the oscilloscope. The rail probe has been designed for use with Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes equipped with the ProBus interface. When the probe is attached to the oscilloscope’s input connector, the instrument will recognize the probe and: Set the oscilloscope input termination to DC50Ω... - Page 27 NOTE: On Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes, the input offset displayed is the amount of offset required to zero the applied voltage (e.g., a -1 V offset is required to vertically center a 1 V DC rail on the grid).

Page 36: Care And Maintenance
The rail probe utilizes fine pitch surface mount devices, making it impractical to repair in the field. Defective probes must be returned to a Teledyne LeCroy service facility for diagnosis and exchange. A defective probe under warranty will be replaced with a factory refurbished probe. A probe that is not under warranty can be exchanged for a factory refurbished probe. -
