Teledyne LeCroy WaveLink Differential Probe Series (13-25 GHz) - Manual (Page 67)

WL-HBW-A-OM-E Rev B 61
Preliminary Procedure
WaveMaster 8 Zi /Zi-A oscilloscopes contain ProBus, ProLink, and 2.92mm (on ≥20 GHz models)
inputs, which conveniently allows this test to be performed on the oscilloscope that is used with the
probe. However, other Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes with ProBus , ProLink, or 2.92mm inputs may
also be used, since these inputs are only providing power to the probe during testing. The following
instructions are for using a ProLink interface connection for the verification of a WL-PLINK-A. For
verification of a WL-2.92MM, the WL-2.92MM and LPA-2.92 may be substituted instead for the WL-
PLINK-A and ProLink CF01, respectively.
1. Connect the WL-PLINK-A to the input of ProLink-CF01 Calibration Fixture.
2. Remove the captive screws from the ProLink-CF01, allowing the WL-PLINK-A Calibration
Fixture connectivity.
NOTE: There are no captive screws to remove on the WL-2.92MM.
3. When testing using a WL-PLINK-A, connect the output of the ProLink-CF01 Calibration Fixture
to a free channel of the WaveMaster 8 Zi or 8 Zi-A oscilloscope.
4. Allow at least 20 minutes warm-up time for the WaveLink high bandwidth probe and test
equipment before performing the Verification Procedure.
5. Turn on the other test equipment and allow them to warm up for the manufacturer's
recommended timeframe.
6. While the instruments are reaching operating temperature, print a copy of Performance
Verification Test Record (on page 70 ) , and fill in the necessary data.
Most of the warranted characteristics of the WaveLink Differential Probe are valid at any
temperature within the Environmental Characteristics portion of the Specification. See
teledynelecroy.com for specification details. However, some of the other test equipment used to
verify the performance may have environmental limitations required to meet the accuracy
requirements needed for the procedure. Be sure that the ambient conditions meet the
requirements of all the test instruments used in the procedure.
As specified, the low frequency attenuation accuracy is valid at a reduced temperature range from
20 to 30° C; verification, therefore, must be done at an ambient temperature within that range.
