occur.
Connecting to 2.92 mm Probe Interfaces
Teledyne LeCroy's LabMaster 10 Zi oscilloscopes utilize a 2.92 mm
probe interface for inputs up to 36 GHz. This interface consists of a
precision connector and a LEMO power and communication connector.
It offers 50 Ω input impedance only.
For additional connection interface information, refer to Dual Channel
Acquisition in the online help.
The 2.92 mm high-bandwidth electrical paths are comprised of two
connector halves/subassemblies which have a common mating
interface.
The first connector half is mounted onto the oscilloscope connector
panel. The outer end of this connector has a combination of grooves,
external threads and a coaxial interface with a 2.92 mm airline
geometry.
The second connector half is the connector saver. It has a similar
interface on one end, with spring biased inner and outer contacts. It has
corresponding projections which interlock with slots on the first
connector half and a coupling nut which secures the two connector
halves; resulting in a non-rotational, torque independent electrical
connection. The spring biased inner and outer contacts eliminate the
need for specifying proof torque and no tools are required to mate or
un-mate the connection.
The connector saver is easily and quickly field replaceable, should
damage occur, making it a more field reliable system. The 2.92 mm
connector savers operate mode free well beyond 36 GHz.
Probe Dialog
Teledyne LeCroy proprietary probe interfaces provide a complete
measurement solution from probe tip to oscilloscope display. The Probe
Dialog displays probe attenuation and other information, and allows
