Probe and Signal Connection Interfaces
Teledyne LeCroy WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscopes contain probe interfaces
that provide a complete measurement solution from probe tip to
oscilloscope display. All probe interfaces permit automatic recognition of
connected probes. For active single-ended and differential voltage probes
and current probes, these interfaces upload data regarding the
attenuation, offset and units from the probe EEPROM's.
The Teledyne LeCroy WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscopes include ProBus
probe interfaces. The ProBus interface 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.
Probe Calibration
The passive probe supplied with your WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscope is
calibrated for the WaveSurfer MXs-B input impedance. If using other
passive probes with your WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscope, be sure to
calibrate them using the 1 kHz square wave signal available on the AUX
OUT terminal before using them for signal measurements.
Teledyne LeCroy offers a variety of other passive and active probes for use
with your WaveSurfer MXs-B Series oscilloscope. Visit teledynelecroy.com
for specifications and ordering information.
Current Probes Available from 30 A to 500 A.
Active Probes Single-ended to >1 GHz.
Differential Probes Differential from 15 MHz to >1 GHz.
Passive Probes
The PP009 and PP011 passive probes guarantee full
instrument bandwidth at the probe tip. Other passive
probes can be used with performance limitations.
High Voltage Probes For measuring up to 20 kV.
