Probe Operation
Handling the Probe
The ZD200 probe is a precision test instrument. Exercise care when handling and
storing the probe. Always handle the probe by the probe body or compensation
box. Avoid putting excessive strain or exposing the probe cable to sharp bends.
ESD Sensitive: The tips of the ZD200 probes are sensitive to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Avoid causing damage to the probe by
always following anti-static procedures (wear wrist strap, etc.) when
using or handling the probe.
Connecting the Probe to an Oscilloscope
The ZD200 probe has been designed for use with Teledyne LeCroy’s WaveSurfer,
WaveRunner, WaveMaster, and WavePro platforms equipped with the ProBus
interface. When you attach the probe output connector to the oscilloscope’s
input connector, the oscilloscope recognizes the probe, provides proper
termination and activates the probe control functions in the user interface.
Operation with an Oscilloscope
When the ZD200 probe is connected to any compatible Teledyne LeCroy
oscilloscope, the displayed scale factor and measurement values are
automatically adjusted.
Control through the oscilloscope’s interface can be found on the channel dialog
that corresponds with the connected probe. Refer to your oscilloscope’s manual
for specific operation instructions.
Turning the Volts/Div knob controls the oscilloscope’s scale factor to give full
available dynamic range up to 5 V/div.
Page 13
Getting Started Manual
922182-00 Rev A

Auto Zero Operation
The scope software includes a feature to null the probe’s residual offset voltage.
The probe should be disconnected from any signal and the Auto Zero button on
the probe menu pressed. This will measure any residual offset in the probe and
remove it from the measurement.
Connecting the Probe to the Test Circuit
To maintain the high performance capability of the probe in measurement
applications, care must be exercised in connecting the probe to the test circuit.
Increasing the parasitic capacitance or inductance in the input paths may
introduce a “ring” or slow the rise time of fast signals. Input leads which form a
large loop area will pick up any radiated electromagnetic field which passes
through the loop and may induce noise into the probe input.
Using one of the available accessories makes the ZD200 probe with its small
profile and low mass head ideally suited for applications in dense circuitry.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
The exterior of the probe and cable should be cleaned, using a soft cloth
moistened with water. The use of abrasive agents, strong detergents, or other
solvents may damage the probe. Always ensure that the input leads are free of
debris.
The probe case is not sealed and should never be immersed in any fluid.

Calibration Interval
The recommended calibration interval is one year. (Performance Verification
and Adjustment Procedures are included in this manual.)
Service Strategy
The ZD200 probe utilizes fine pitch surface mount devices. It is therefore
impractical to attempt to repair in the field. Defective probes must be returned
to a Teledyne LeCroy service facility for diagnosis and exchange. Defective
probes under warranty are repaired or replaced. A probe that is not under
warranty can be exchanged for a factory refurbished probe for a modest fee.
You must return the defective probe in order to receive credit for the probe
core.
Returning a Probe for Calibration or Service
Return a probe for calibration or service by contacting your local Teledyne
LeCroy sales representative. They tell you where to return the product. All
returned products should be identified by both model and serial number.

Performance Verification
Performance Verification Overview
This procedure can be used to verify the warranted characteristics of the ZD200
High Impedance Active Probe.
The recommended calibration interval for the model ZD200 is one year. The
complete performance verification procedure should be performed as the first
step of annual calibration. Test results can be recorded on a photocopy of the
Test Record provided in Appendix A at the end of the manual.
Performance verification can be completed without removing the probe covers
or exposing the user to hazardous voltages. There are no adjustments.
This procedure tests LF Attenuation Accuracy.
Required Test Equipment
The following table lists the test equipment and accessories (or their
equivalents) that are required for performance verification of the ZD200 Probe.
This procedure has been developed to minimize the number of calibrated test
instruments required.
Only the parameters listed in boldface in the Minimum requirements column
