Operation

Handling the Probe

Exercise care when handling and storing the probe. Always handle the probe by
the probe body. Avoid putting excessive strain on the probe cable or bending it
sharply.

Connecting the Probe to the Test Instrument

The PP066 and PP065 probes have been designed for use with Teledyne LeCroy
oscilloscopes.

Connecting the probe to any oscilloscope using the SMA-to-BNC adapter will
make the total of the measuring system equal to the bandwidth of the
oscilloscope.

NOTE: For proper operation, the input of the oscilloscope needs to be set to
50 Ω.

Connecting the Probe to the Test Circuit

To maintain the high-performance capability of the probe, care must be
exercised when connecting the probe to the test circuit. Increasing the parasitic
capacitance or inductance in the input paths may deteriorate the performance
by introducing a "ring" or slowing the rise time of fast signals. To obtain the
highest performance, keep the body of the probe perpendicular to the circuit
under test.
