Teledyne LeCroy ZS2500 - Manual (Page 16)

ZS Series High-Impedance, Active Probes
Operation with a Teledyne LeCroy Oscilloscope
When the ZS1000, ZS1500, or ZS2500 probe is connected to any compatible
Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope, the displayed scale factor and measurement
values are automatically adjusted.
The probe can be controlled through the oscilloscope graphical user interface.
When connected, a Probe dialog appears behind the corresponding channel
dialog. 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 V/div (16 V peak to peak). Turning the channel
Offset knob controls the probe input offset circuit over its range of ±12 V.
Connecting the Probe to the Test Circuit
To maintain the high performance capability of the probe in measurement
applications, care must be exercised in connecting the probe to the test circuit.
Increasing the parasitic capacitance or inductance in the input paths may
introduce a “ring” or slow the rise time of fast signals. Input leads which form a
large loop area will pick up any radiated electromagnetic field which passes
through the loop and may induce noise into the probe input.
Using one of the available accessories makes the ZS2500 probe with its small
profile and low mass head ideally suited for applications in dense circuitry.
