Signal Inputs

Probes

Teledyne LeCroy offers a variety probes for use with your oscilloscope. The
types compatible with the LabMaster 10 Zi are listed below. Visit
teledynelecroy.com for specifications and ordering information.

Single-Ended - A single-ended, active probe is associated with
measuring voltages at high frequencies. Measurement with an active
probe requires a test point and a ground point. The ground (also
called earth) acts as a zero reference for the test point measurement.
These probes are typically low-bandwidth and require an adapter to
connect to the 2.92 mm and 1.85 mm interfaces on the 10-xxZi
Acquisition Modules.

Differential Probes - Differential active probes are like two probes in
one. Instead of measuring a test point in relation to a ground point
(like single-ended active probes), differential probes measure the
difference in voltage of a test point in relation to another test point.
Some models of differential probes may require an adapter to
connect to the 2.92 mm and 1.85 mm interfaces on the 10-xxZi
Acquisition Modules.

Interfaces

LabMaster 10 Zi systems are equipped with a variety of interfaces to allow
you to connect cables directly to the oscilloscope channels, reducing the
need to use costly adapters that may be easily lost or misplaced.
The inputs power the probe and completely integrate the probe with the
oscilloscope channel in a number of ways:

Upon connection, the probe is recognized and some setup
information, such as input coupling and attenuation, is performed
automatically.

System (probe plus oscilloscope) gain settings are automatically
calculated and displayed based on the probe attenuation.
