A. Aux Out connector sends device trigger enabled, trigger out, or pass/fail output to another device.

B. Ref In/Out connector allows you to input an external Reference Clock, or to output a Reference Clock

to another instrument.

C. USBTMC Port enables remote control of the oscilloscope.

D. AC Power Inlet connects the AC line cord.

See the general set up instructions for more information about configuring connections to other devices.

Analog Inputs

A series of BNC connectors arranged on the front and back of the oscilloscope are used to input analog

signal on Channels 1-4 and AUX In, or an external trigger pulse on EXT.

HDO connectors use the ProBus interface and are compatible with any Teledyne LeCroy ProBus type

probes rated for the oscilloscope's bandwidth.

The ProBus interface contains a 6-pin power and communication connection and a BNC signal connection

to the probe. It offers both 50 Ω/1 MΩ input impedance and provides probe power and control for a wide

range of probes such as high impedance passive probes, high impedance active probes, current probes,

high voltage probes, and differential probes. ProBus also includes sense rings for detecting passive

probes. The ProBus interface may also have a BNC-terminated cable connected directly to it.

The interfaces power probes and completely integrate the probe with the oscilloscope channel. Upon

connection, the probe type is recognized and some setup information, such as input coupling and

attenuation, is performed automatically. This information is displayed on the Channel Probe Dialog.

System (probe plus oscilloscope) gain settings are automatically calculated and displayed based on the

probe attenuation.

Probes

HDO6000 oscilloscopes are compatible with the included passive probes and all Teledyne LeCroy ProBus

active probes that are rated for the oscilloscope’s bandwidth. Probe specifications and documentation

are available at teledynelecroy.com/hdo6000.

The passive probes supplied with your oscilloscope are matched to the input impedance of the

instrument, but may need further compensation; refer to the probe manual for the procedure. If using

other passive probes with your oscilloscope, be sure to perform a low frequency calibration using the Cal

signal available from the HDO's front panel before using them to measure signal.Follow the directions in

the probe instruction manual to compensate the low and/or high frequency response of the probes.
