Probe / Signal Connection Interfaces

Probe Interfaces

Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes utilize one or more proprietary probe
interfaces providing a complete measurement solution from probe tip to
oscilloscope display. Compared to standard BNC and Probe Ring interfaces,
this intelligent interconnection between your instrument and the probe or
accessory eliminates the guesswork and errors that occur when probe
settings are made manually, and also offers the following important signal
fidelity advantages:

Upon connection to the oscilloscope channel, the probe is
recognized and some setup information, such as input coupling and
attenuation, is performed automatically.

System (probe plus oscilloscope) gain settings are automatically
calculated and displayed based on the probe attenuation.

Active probes typically provide automatic matching of probe to
oscilloscope response using probe response data stored in an on-
board EEPROM. This ensures the best possible combined probe plus
oscilloscope channel frequency response without requiring the user
to perform any de-embedding procedure.
