Teledyne LeCroy HFP1000 - Manual (Page 9)

Operator’s Manual
922251-00 Rev A 3
Introduction
The 1 GHz HFP1000 is a small, high frequency active probe designed to meet today’s increasing
demand for measurements on a variety of test points. With low input capacitance and high input
resistance, circuit loading is minimized.
The HFP1000 can be used with Teledyne LeCroy’s WavePro™, Waverunner™ and LC series
oscilloscopes with firmware version 8.7.0 or higher.
When the probe is used with any of these oscilloscopes, an AutoColor ID feature automatically
illuminates the probe head in the default trace color of the channel to which the probe is connected,
eliminating the need for color bands or other markers.
With the ProBus interface, the HFP1000 becomes an integral part of the oscilloscope. The probe can
be controlled from the oscilloscope’s front panel. The oscilloscope provides power to the probe, so
there is no need for a separate power supply or batteries.
When used in combination with an ADPPS power supply, the HFP1000 probe can be used with non-
Teledyne LeCroy instruments. (See Page 16 for detailed operation with an ADPPS adapter).
NOTE: The AutoColor ID feature will be disabled when the probe is used with an ADPPSadapter or a
Teledyne LeCroy LC series oscilloscope with firmware version lower than 8.7.0
