Probe Holder
Freehand Probe Holder The FreeHand lets you focus on the oscilloscope screen
instead of on maintaining contact to multiple test
points. It allows the user to concentrate on what is
really important – the waveform.
It is designed to keep most of the weight on the probe
tip and will prevent lost contact when a bump to the
table shakes the circuit under test.
Probe Operation
Handling the Probe
The ZS series probe is a precision test instrument. 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 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 an Oscilloscope
The ZS1000, ZS1500, and ZS2500 probes have been designed for use with
Teledyne LeCroy’s WaveSurfer, WaveRunner, WavePro, and WaveMaster
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.
