ZS SERIES HIGH IMPEDANCE ACTIVE PROBES
The ZS Series probes provide high impedance and an extensive set of probe tips
and ground accessories to handle a wide range of probing scenarios. The high
1 MΩ input resistance and low 0.9 pF input capacitance mean this probe is ideal
for all frequencies. The ZS Series probes provide full system bandwidth for all
LeCroy oscilloscopes having bandwidths of 1 GHz and lower.
HIGH IMPEDANCE REDUCES CIRCUIT LOADING
ACROSS FULL OSCILLOSCOPE BANDWIDTH
Engineers must commonly probe high frequency signals with high signal fidelity.
Typical passive probes with high input R and C provide good response at lower
frequencies, but inappropriately load the circuit, and distort signals, at higher fre -
quencies. The ZS Series features both high input R (1 MΩ) and low input C (0.9 pF) to
reduce circuit loading across the entire probe/oscilloscope bandwidth. With low
circuit loading, and a form factor that allows probing in confined areas, the ZS Series
becomes the everyday probe for all different types of signals and connection points.
The ZS1000 is ideal for 200–600 MHz oscilloscopes. The ZS1500 is ideal for 1 GHz
oscilloscopes.

Passive probes are great for low frequency measurements; however, the input capacitance reduces
impedance above 1 kHz. The 1 MΩ input resistance and 0.9 pF capacitance of the ZS probe provide high
impedance across the entire probe bandwidth making it the ideal tool for all your probing needs.
