Safety Instructions
This section contains instructions that must be observed to keep this oscilloscope accessory
operating in a correct and safe condition. You are required to follow generally accepted safety
procedures in addition to the precautions specified in this section. The overall safety of any system
incorporating this accessory is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
Symbols
These symbols may appear on the probe body or in this manual to alert you to important safety
considerations.
Precautions
To avoid personal injury or damage to probe or the instrument it is connected to, review and comply
with the following safety precautions.
Use product only as specified.
Connect and disconnect properly. Connect probe to the measurement instrument before
connecting the test leads to a circuit/signal being tested.
Use only accessories compatible with the probe. Use only accessories that are rated for the
application. Ensure connections between probe input leads and probe accessories are secure
before connecting them to a voltage source.
Comply with voltage derating curve. When measuring higher frequency signals, comply with the
Input Voltage vs. Frequency Curve (see Figure 1).

HFP1000 High Frequency Probe
Do not overload. To avoid electric shock or damage to probe or instrument it is connected to, do
not apply any potential that exceeds the maximum rating of the probe and/or the probe accessory,
whichever is less. Observe all terminal ratings of the instrument before connecting the probe.
Be careful not to damage the insulation surface when making measurements.
Use only within operational environment listed. Do not use in wet or explosive atmospheres. Keep
product surfaces clean and dry. Use indoors only.
Handle with care. Probe accessory tips are sharp. They can puncture skin or cause other bodily
injury if not handled properly.
Keep fingers behind the finger guard of the probe accessories.
Do not operate with suspected failures. Before each use, inspect the probe and accessories for any
damage such as tears or other defects in the probe body, cable jacket, accessories, etc. If any part is
damaged, cease operation immediately and sequester the probe from inadvertent use.
Operating Environment
The accessory is intended for indoor use and should be operated in a clean, dry environment. Before
using this product, ensure that its operating environment is maintained within these parameters:
Temperature: 0° to 50° C.
Humidity: ≤ 80% max up to 31 °C, decreasing linearly to 45% max at 50 °C
Altitude: up to 2000 m (6562 feet)

Introduction
The 1 GHz HFP1000 is a small, high frequency active probe designed to meet today’s increasing
demand for measurements on a variety of test points. With low input capacitance and high input
resistance, circuit loading is minimized.
The HFP1000 can be used with Teledyne LeCroy’s WavePro™, Waverunner™ and LC series
oscilloscopes with firmware version 8.7.0 or higher.
When the probe is used with any of these oscilloscopes, an AutoColor ID feature automatically
illuminates the probe head in the default trace color of the channel to which the probe is connected,
eliminating the need for color bands or other markers.
With the ProBus interface, the HFP1000 becomes an integral part of the oscilloscope. The probe can
be controlled from the oscilloscope’s front panel. The oscilloscope provides power to the probe, so
there is no need for a separate power supply or batteries.
When used in combination with an ADPPS power supply, the HFP1000 probe can be used with nonTeledyne LeCroy instruments. (See Page 16 for detailed operation with an ADPPS adapter).
NOTE: The AutoColor ID feature will be disabled when the probe is used with an ADPPSadapter or a
Teledyne LeCroy LC series oscilloscope with firmware version lower than 8.7.0
Key Benefits

HFP1000 High Frequency Probe
The small, low mass probe head is designed for ease of use and
high performance.
The probe tip socket fits easily onto 0.025 inch square pins for
direct access to test points. Several different adapters are
available which connect directly in the probe socket.
The probe tip socket has a removable tip cartridge for easy
replacement in case the probe socket gets damaged.
The ground socket will accept several different ground leads to
provide a short ground path for high frequency performance.
The AutoColor ID consists of an LED inside the probe head which
illuminates the probe body in the default trace color of the
channel to which the probe is connected.
The AutoColor ID will only function when the probe is connected
to a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope supplied with the ProBus
interface and firmware version 8.7.0 or higher. The colors are
correct when factory default color scheme 1 is selected.
Features and Accessories
The HFP1000 probe is provided with numerous features and accessories to make probing and
connecting to different test points easier than ever.
