Introduction
The ZD series of differential probes (ZD500, ZD1000 and ZD1500) are high
bandwidth, active differential probes. The probes feature low noise, very high
input impedance and high common mode rejection, and are ideally suited for
signal integrity measurements in high-speed digital systems. With low input
capacitance and high input resistance, circuit loading is minimized.
The probes can be used with a variety of Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes
running MAUI firmware version 6.4.1.x or later. See the oscilloscope product
page at teledynelecroy.com/oscilloscopes for probe compatibility.
With the ProBus interface, the probe becomes an integral part of the
oscilloscope, able to 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.
Key Features
Low input capacitance
Wide dynamic range
ProBus interface

Probe Input Loading
Attaching any probe to a test circuit adds some loading to the circuit under
test. In most applications, the high impedance of the probe, compared to the
impedance of the circuit under test, imparts an insignificant load to the test
circuit. However, at very high frequencies the capacitive reactance of the
probe tip or lead may load the circuit enough to affect the measurement. The
ZD series probes are designed to minimize these effects at high frequencies.
Refer to the figures below for differential input equivalent circuit and
impedance vs. frequency derating.

Probe Operation
Handling the Probe
The ZD series probes are precision test instruments. 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 ZD series 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 ZD series probes has been designed for use with Teledyne LeCroy
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.
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 a ZD series probe with its
small profile and low mass head ideally suited for applications in dense
circuitry.
9
ZD Series High Impedance Differential Probes
Operation with an Oscilloscope
When the probe is connected to any compatible Teledyne LeCroy
oscilloscope, the displayed scale factor and measurement values are
automatically adjusted.
Turning the front panel Volts/Div knob controls the oscilloscope’s scale
factor to give full available dynamic range up to 2.25 V/div.
Auto Zero
Auto Zero corrects for DC offset drifts that naturally occur from thermal
effects in the amplifier. The probe incorporates Auto Zero capability to
remove the DC offset from the probe's amplifier output to improve the
measurement accuracy.
Auto Zero is invoked manually from the ZDxxxx dialog that appears when the
probe is connected to the oscilloscope.
Always perform Auto Zero after the probe is warmed up (recommended
warm-up time is 20 minutes). Depending on the measurement accuracy
desired and/or changes in ambient temperature where the probe is located, it
may be necessary to perform Auto Zero more often. If the probe is
disconnected from the oscilloscope and reconnected, repeat Auto Zero after
a suitable warm-up time.
CAUTION: Disconnect the probe from the circuit before Auto Zero, or
else any DC component that is part of the Signal to be measured will
be zeroed out.

Operator’s Manual
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.
CAUTION: The probe case is not sealed and should never be
immersed in any fluid.
Calibration Interval
The recommended calibration interval is one year. The Performance
Verification procedure should be performed as the first part of calibration.
Service Strategy
The ZD series probes 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.
Replacement Parts
The probe connection accessories and other common parts can be ordered
through the North America Customer Care Centers. Refer to the part numbers
listed on the Standard Accessories table (p.3).

ZD Series High Impedance Differential Probes
Performance Verification
This procedure can be used to verify the warranted characteristics of a ZD
series differential probe (ZD500, ZD1000, ZD1500). It tests:
• Output Zero Voltage
• LF Attenuation Accuracy
The recommended calibration interval for the ZD series models is one year.
Complete the performance verification as the first step of annual calibration.
Results can be recorded on a photocopy of the Test Record provided.
Performance verification can be completed without removing the probe
covers or exposing the user to hazardous voltages. There are no
adjustments.
Required Test Equipment
The following table lists the test equipment (or equivalent) that is required for
performance verification of a ZD series probe. As connector types may vary
on different brands and models of test instruments, additional adapters or
cables may be required.
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 must be calibrated to the accuracy indicated.
NOTE: The function generator used in this Performance Verification
Procedure is used for making relative measurements. Because the output of
the generator is measured with an oscilloscope in this procedure, it is not
required to calibrate the generator.
The warranted characteristics of the ZD probes are valid at any temperature
within the Operating Environment listed in this manual (p.2). However, some
of the other test equipment used to verify performance may have
environmental limitations required to meet the accuracy needed for the
procedure. Be sure that the ambient conditions meet the requirements of all
the test equipment used in this procedure.
