Probe Operation
Handling the Probe
The ZD Series probes are precision test instruments. Exercise care when handling and storing
the probe. Always handle the probe by the probe body or compensation box. Avoid putting
excessive strain or exposing the probe cable to sharp bends.
ESD Sensitive: The tips of the ZD Series probes are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
Avoid causing damage to the probe by always following anti-static procedures (wear wrist
strap, etc.) when using or handling the probe.
Connecting the Probe to a LeCroy Oscilloscope
The ZD Series probe has been designed for use with LeCroy’s WaveSurfer, WaveRunner,
WaveMaster, and WavePro platforms equipped with the ProBus interface. When you attach
the probe output connector to the oscilloscope’s input connector, the oscilloscope recognizes
the probe, provides proper termination and activates the probe control functions in the user
interface.
Operation with a LeCroy Oscilloscope
When the ZD Series probes are connected to any compatible LeCroy oscilloscope, the
displayed scale factor and measurement values are automatically adjusted.
Control through the oscilloscope’s interface can be found on the channel dialog that
corresponds with the connected probe. Refer to your oscilloscope’s manual for specific
operation instructions.
Turning the Volts/Div knob controls the oscilloscope’s scale factor to give full available
dynamic range up to 2.25 V/div.
