Intensity/Acquisition Mode
The INTENSITY knob adjusts the brightness of your trace.
Pushing the button toggles between WaveStream fast-viewing
mode (indicator lamp on) and real-time mode (lamp off).
PROBE AND SIGNAL CONNECTION INTERFACES
LeCroy WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscopes contain probe interfaces that
provide a complete measurement solution from probe tip to oscilloscope
display. All probe interfaces permit automatic recognition of connected
probes. For active single-ended and differential voltage probes and current
probes, these interfaces upload data regarding the attenuation, offset and
units from the probe EEPROM's.
The LeCroy WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscopes include ProBus probe
interfaces. The ProBus interface offers both 50 Ω/1 MΩ input impedance
and provides probe power and control for a wide range of probes such as
high impedance passive probes, high impedance active probes, current
probes, high voltage probes, and differential probes.
Probes
The passive probe supplied with your WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscope is calibrated
for the WaveSurfer MXs-B input impedance. If using other passive probes with
your WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscope, be sure to calibrate them using the 1 kHz
square wave signal available on the AUX OUT terminal before using them for signal
measurements.
LeCroy offers a variety of other passive and active probes for use with your
WaveSurfer MXs-B Series oscilloscope. Visit www.lecroy.com for specifications
and ordering information.
Current Probes
Available from 30 A to 500 A.
Active Probes
Single-ended to >1 GHz.
Differential Probes
Differential from 15 MHz to >1 GHz.
Passive Probes
The PP009 and PP011 passive probes guarantee
full instrument bandwidth at the probe tip. Other
passive probes can be used with performance
limitations.
High Voltage Probes
For measuring up to 20 kV.
