Operation
NOTE: Operation of the probe as described requires the correct version of the XStreamDSO
firmware (see p.5). To confirm the version installed, choose Utilities > Utilities Setup from the
oscilloscope menu bar, then open the Status dialog.
Handling the Probe
The RP4030 probe is a precision test instrument. Exercise care when handling and storing the
probe. Always handle the probe by the probe body or compensation box. Avoid putting
excessive strain on or exposing the probe cable to sharp bends.
ESD Sensitive: The probe tips are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Avoid
damaging the probe by always following anti-static procedures (wear wrist strap, etc.)
when using or handling the probe.
Operating from the Oscilloscope
The RP4030 probe has been designed for use with Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes equipped
with the ProBus interface. When the probe output connector is attached to the oscilloscope's
input connector, the instrument will:
•
Recognize the probe
•
Set the oscilloscope input termination to DC50Ω
Set the probe attenuation to 1.2x
•
Activate the probe control functions on the oscilloscope user interface.
•
For accurate measurements, allow the probe to warm up for at least 20 minutes after being
connected to the oscilloscope.
Vertical Scale (V/div), Coupling, Bandwidth (BWL), and Attenuation are controlled from the
Channel setup dialog (Cn).
