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

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.

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).

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.
