  • Page 16: Probe Operation

    ZS Series High-Impedance, Active Probes Probe Operation ZS Series probes are 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 recognizes the probe, provides proper termination, and activates the probe control functions in the user interface.

  • Page 17: Operation With A Teledyne Lecroy Oscilloscope

    User Manual Operation with a Teledyne LeCroy Oscilloscope When the ZS probe is connected to any compatible Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope, the displayed scale factor and measurement values are automatically adjusted. A Probe dialog appears behind the corresponding Channel dialog. The probe can be controlled through the oscilloscope front panel: The Volts/Div knob controls the oscilloscope’s scale factor to give full...
  • Page 18 ZS Series High-Impedance, Active Probes This effect is referred to as ground lead corruption. Because it is impossible to eliminate either the L or C from this circuit, the method to improve waveform fidelity is to raise the resonant frequency beyond the bandwidth of interest in the measurement.

  • Page 21: Care And Maintenance

    The ZS probes utilize 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.
