Getting Started Guide
The male-male barrel adapter inserts into the female connector. Grasp
the outer ring of the female connector, insert the barrel adapter, and
hand tighten. Then, use a torque wrench to ensure the proper insertion
force for the best connection. The barrel adapter is easily and quickly
field replaceable, should damage occur.
Connecting to 2.92 mm Probe Interfaces
Teledyne LeCroy's LabMaster 10 Zi oscilloscopes utilize a 2.92 mm
probe interface for inputs up to 36 GHz. This interface consists of a
precision connector and a LEMO power and communication connector.
It offers 50 Ω input impedance only.
For additional connection interface information, refer to Dual Channel
Acquisition in the online help.
The 2.92 mm high-bandwidth electrical paths are comprised of two
connector halves/subassemblies which have a common mating
interface.
The first connector half is mounted into the oscilloscope connector
panel. The outer end of this connector has a combination of grooves,
external threads and a coaxial interface with a 2.92 mm airline
geometry.
The second connector half is the connector saver. It has a similar
interface on one end, with spring biased inner and outer contacts. It has
corresponding projections which interlock with slots on the first
connector half and a coupling nut which secures the two connector
halves; resulting in a non-rotational, torque independent electrical
connection. The spring biased inner and outer contacts eliminate the
need for specifying proof torque and no tools are required to mate or
un-mate the connection.
The connector saver is easily and quickly field replaceable, should
damage occur, making it a more field reliable system. The 2.92 mm
connector savers operate mode free well beyond 36 GHz.
