ProLink Interface

The ProLink interface contains a 6-pin power and communication
connection and a Blind Mate Adapter (BMA) signal connection to the
probe. It offers 50 Ω input impedance and provides probe power and
control for a wide range of probes with bandwidth ratings from 3 GHz to 20
GHz. The nature of the ProLink interface with its recessed BMA connector
means that an adapter must be connected to the ProLink interface to allow
SMA or 2.92/K connector terminated cables to be attached to the
oscilloscope channel. These adapters are normally provided with your
oscilloscope, and are described in ProLink Interface Adapters (below).

ProLink Interface Adapters

For some instruments, Teledyne LeCroy's ProLink Adapters (LPA) provides
the ability to connect a cable to your oscilloscope that is either BNC or SMA
terminated. These adapters are only for cable connection since they do not
provide the power and communication interfaces required for probe usage.
In fact, the absence of these connections on the adapters means that a
probe cannot be connected to the oscilloscope when one of these adapters
is connected.

The following cable connections are supported:

BNC, using the LPA-BNC Blind Mate Adapter (BMA) to BNC interface
adapter. This is not normally provide with your oscilloscope, but may
be ordered as an accessory.

SMA , using the LPA-SMA BMA-to-SMA adapter
