ProLink Probe Adapters

ProLink Probe Adapters differ from ProLink Interface Adapters in that they
contain a probe power and communication pass-through that the interface
adapters do not have.

Currently, only one probe adapter is available, the LPA-2.92 mm. This
device is used to allow attachment of a probe platform/cable assembly
designed for connection to a 2.92 mm Probe Connection Interface to be
connected to a ProLink input connection. For instance, this could be used
to connect a 25 GHz probing system using 2.92 mm and LEMO connections
for connection to a ProLink input.

Connecting the ProLink Probe Adapter is done in a similar way as
connecting a ProLink Interface Adapter.

Probes

Teledyne LeCroy offers a variety of passive and active probes for use with
your X-Stream oscilloscope. Visit teledynelecroy.com for specifications and
ordering information.

Current Probes - Current Probes measure the current passing
through a wire; current probes do not use the traditional probing
style of placing a tip onto a test point. Instead, a wire is placed inside
the jaw of the probe, which allows the probe to measure the current
(in Amps).

Active Probes - There are two different types of active probes:
single-ended and differential.

Single-Ended - A single-ended active probe is associated with
measuring voltages at high frequencies. Measurement with an active
probe requires a test point and a ground point. The ground (also
