ZD SERIES ACTIVE DIFFERENTIAL PROBES
The ZD Series probes provide wide
dynamic range, excellent noise and
loading performance and an extensive
set of probe tips, leads, and ground
accessories to handle a wide range
of probing scenarios. The low 1 pF
capacitance means this probe is ideal
for all frequencies. The ZD Series
differential probes provide full system
bandwidth for all Teledyne LeCroy
Oscilloscopes 1.5 GHz and lower.
Fully Integrated
With the ProBus interface, the ZD500,
1000, and 1500 becomes an integral
part of the oscilloscope. All probe gain
and offset controls are transparent to
the user, making it easier to probe the
circuit without concern for which gain
setting to choose. When used with a
Teledyne LeCroy digital oscilloscope,
no external power supply is required.
Wide Dynamic Range
The ZD500, 1000, 1500 probes
provides transparent probe attenuation
so signals are always optimized for
the display. The differential range is
18 Vp-p with a differential offset of
±8 and common mode range of ±10 V,
making this versatile for every probing
application.
Wide Applications
The wide dynamic range of 16 Vp-p
and offset range of ±8 suit this probe
to a wide range of applications and
signal types. The ZD differential probes
are ideally suited for Automotive, Serial
Data, power, and general purpose use.
The differential input capacitance is
only 1 pF to minimize loading distortion
on the highest frequency signals under
test. System noise of only 4 mVrms
allows accurate measurement of the
smallest signals.
A Variety of Probe Tips
for Varied Tasks
Engineers often need to probe a
variety of different test points in
conned spaces. The extensive
range of standard tip accessories
for the ZD Series of probes ensures
that thisprobe can meet any difcult
probing challenge.
Innovative Probe Leads
and Tips Provide Excellent
Signal Performance Without
Degradation
Probing with long leads or accessories
is sometimes necessary to reach the
test points, but it comes at the expense
of reduced bandwidth, increased
capacitance, and added noise. The ZD
accessories are engineered to provide
the best signal delity without ringing
or distortions commonly introduced
with tip accessories.
