LeCroy PP010 Passive Probe Instruction Manual Revision A – February 2006
Warranty LeCroy warrants this oscilloscope accessory for normal use and operation within specification for a period of one year from the date of shipment. Spare parts, replacement parts and repairs are warranted for 90 days. In exercising its warranty, LeCroy, at its option, will either repair or replace any assembly returned within the warranty period to the Customer Service Department of an authorized service center.
Introduction The PP010 is a passive probe to be used with a LeCroy WaveJet oscilloscope having an input impedance of 1 MΩ. It has an attenuation ratio of 10:1. Safety Information This symbol appears on the product: It refers you to additional information contained in this manual. The corresponding information in the manual is similarly denoted. To avoid personal injury and to prevent fire or damage to the probe or any products connected to it, review and comply with the following safety precautions.
Do not use the probe if any part is damaged. All maintenance should be referred to qualified service personnel. Avoid physical injury. The probe tip is extremely sharp. Use care when handling to prevent injury, including accidental skin puncture. Use of the probe and/or the test instrument it is connected to in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may impair the protection mechanisms.

Probe Compensation Proper compensation of the probe is required to assure good amplitude accuracy in the dynamic portions of the waveform being measured. LF compensation matches the probe to differences in oscilloscope input capacitance. The LF compensation should always be checked and adjusted as needed when first connecting a passive probe to the oscilloscope input.
