WaveLink Medium-Bandwidth (8-13 GHz) Differential Probe

Probe Deskew Fixture

A probe deskew fixture (PCF200) is provided as a standard accessory with WL-PLINK-CASE.

For WaveLink probes designed to accommodate all WaveLink tips (not at full bandwidth), the fixture
may be used as a convenient way to deskew several probes/oscilloscope channels. This can be
accomplished in the following ways:

l

Connect a fast edge to one or both inputs. Connect the probe tip(s) to the appropriate
connection point. Solder-in probe tips and browser tips may be inserted under the clamping
mechanism. Display the probe signals on the oscilloscope screen and use the channel
deskew adjust to align them to a common point.

l

Connect the WavePro/SDA/DDA 7 Zi/Zi-A, WaveMaster/SDA/DDA 8 Zi/Zi-A, or LabMaster 9
Zi-A fast edge output to one of the inputs. Set the oscilloscope to trigger on the internal Fast
Edge source.Set the trigger delay to zero. Now, on the vertical dialog, use the Probe Cal -
Cable Deskew button to align one signal/channel at a time to the specified zero delay trigger
point (center of screen). Repeat for as many probes as you have connected, each time
aligning them to the common point.
