Preliminary Procedure

1. Connect the ZD200 probe to the female end of the ProBus Extension

Cable. Connect the male end of the ProBus Extension Cable to channel 1
of the oscilloscope.

2. Turn the oscilloscope on and allow at least 30 minutes warm-up time for

the ZD200 and test equipment before performing the Verification
Procedure.

3. Turn on the other test equipment and allow them to warm up for the

manufacturer’s recommended timeframe.

4. While the instruments are reaching operating temperature, make a

photocopy of the Performance Verification Test Record (located in
Appendix A), and fill in the necessary data.

5. Select the channel to which the probe is connected. Set the oscilloscope

scale factor to 20 mV/div.

6. Disconnect the ProBus Extender Cable from the oscilloscope. Verify that

the scale factor changes from 20 mV/div to 2 mV/div.

7. Reconnect the ProBus extender Cable to the oscilloscope.

The warranted characteristics of the ZD200 are valid at any temperature within
the Environmental Characteristics listed in the Specifications. However, some of
the other test equipment used to verify the 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 instruments used in this procedure.

NOTE: The correct operation of the ZD200 controls requires software version
6.4.1.5 or higher. The software version in the test oscilloscope can be verified by
selecting Utilities, Utilities Setup... from the menu bar, then the Status tab.

Contact your local Teledyne LeCroy representative or visit teledynelecroy.com if
the software in your oscilloscope requires updating.
