Lecroy PP006
Probe
Description
The PP006A is designed to give high impedance probing capability to a circuit when attached to a LeCroy Oscilloscope. The PP006A is a high impedance probe with a wide range of accessories.
LF compensation is made by connecting the probe to the cal signal and adjusting the compensation trimmer in the BNC-box at end of the probe. Connect the BNC end of the probe to a channel of the oscilloscope. Connect the sprung hook end (1) and the ground lead (2) to the CAL out and GND on the scope Calibrator area.
The CAL signal is available in many speeds. Select the Utilities in the scope to set the CAL to 1 kHz. Turn the scope channel on. Press Auto Setup and adjust the time base and volts/div settings until the signal on the screen contains two cycles (see figures below). Use the Trimmer tool (6) to adjust the probe response to match the correct trim shown below.
Before using the Probe, ensure that it is being operated in the operating temperature range.
The probe is intended to be used only with instruments which are connected to earth ground through the input BNC connector. Connect the grounding terminal of the probe to the ground potential of a device to be measured.
The exterior of the probe and cable should only be cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with water or isopropyl alcohol. The use of abrasive agents, strong detergents, or other solvents may damage the probe. Assure that the input receptacles are free of debris before inserting connection accessories. All repair and maintenance should be referred to qualified service personnel. Do not use the probe if any part is damaged.
