WaveSurfer MXs-B Oscilloscopes

Probe and Signal Connection Interfaces

Teledyne LeCroy WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscopes contain probe interfaces
that provide a complete measurement solution from probe tip to
oscilloscope display. All probe interfaces permit automatic recognition of
connected probes. For active single-ended and differential voltage probes
and current probes, these interfaces upload data regarding the
attenuation, offset and units from the probe EEPROM's.
The Teledyne LeCroy WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscopes include ProBus
probe interfaces. The ProBus interface offers both 50 Ω/1 MΩ input
impedance and provides probe power and control for a wide range of
probes such as high impedance passive probes, high impedance active
probes, current probes, high voltage probes, and differential probes.

Probe Calibration

The passive probe supplied with your WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscope is
calibrated for the WaveSurfer MXs-B input impedance. If using other
passive probes with your WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscope, be sure to
calibrate them using the 1 kHz square wave signal available on the AUX
OUT terminal before using them for signal measurements.
Teledyne LeCroy offers a variety of other passive and active probes for use
with your WaveSurfer MXs-B Series oscilloscope. Visit teledynelecroy.com
