Probe Operation
Handling the Probe
The ZD200 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 ZD200 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 ZD200 probe has been designed for use with Teledyne LeCroy’s WaveSurfer,
WaveRunner, WaveMaster, and WavePro 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.
Operation with an Oscilloscope
When the ZD200 probe is connected to any compatible Teledyne LeCroy
oscilloscope, the displayed scale factor and measurement values are
automatically adjusted.
Control through the oscilloscope’s interface can be found on the channel dialog
that corresponds with the connected probe. 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 5 V/div.
