High Impedance Reduces
Circuit Loading across Full
Oscilloscope Bandwidth
Engineers must commonly probe
high frequency signals with high
signal delity. Typical passive probes
with high input R and C provide good
response at lower frequencies but
inappropriately load the circuit and
distort signals at higher frequencies.
The ZS Series features both high
input R (1 MΩ) and low input C (0.6 pF
and 0.9 pF) to reduce circuit Loading
across the entire probe/oscilloscope
bandwidth. The ZS1000 is ideal
for 200–600 MHz oscilloscopes.
The ZS1500 is ideal for 1 GHz
oscilloscopes, the ZS2500 is ideal
for 2 GHz oscilloscopes, and the
ZS4000 is ideal for 2.5 GHz and
4 GHz oscilloscopes.
A Variety of Probe Tips for
Varied Tasks
The small form factor and extensive
range of standard probe tips ensures
that this probe can meet any difcult
probing challenge. Various flexible
leads and clips, such as right-angle
leads, Y-adapters, and micro-grabbers,
are also available for probing test
points that are spaced farther apart.
Innovative Grounding Provides
the Highest Signal Fidelity
Keeping the ground loop short is
critical to eliminating the effect of
high inductance on the signal. The
ZS probes provide a wide variety of
unique and innovative accessories
which maintain the highest signal
delity. They eliminate the effects of
the loop on the circuit.
