Introduction
The PP007-xx is a miniature high impedance passive probe. Its high input resistance and low capacitance make it
ideal from general purpose probing of signals with frequency content from DC through several hundred MHz. The
PP007 has a large selection of connection accessories, both supplied standard with the probe and available from
LeCroy as optional accessories.
The PP007-xx is available in two models, differing only in the design of the compensation network.
•
The PP007-WR is designed for use with LeCroy WaveRunner 6000 series oscilloscopes.
•
The PP007-WS is designed for use with LeCroy WaveSurfer 400 series oscilloscopes.
All of the standard and optional accessories are interchangeable between all models

Measurement category I is for measurement performed on circuits not directly connected to a mains supply.
Measurement category II (CAT II) is for measurement performed on circuits directly connected to a low voltage
installation. This refers to local distribution level, applicable to equipment connected to the mains (AC power
source) through a power cable.
Pollution Degree 2 refers to an operating environment where normally only dry non-conductive pollution occurs.
Occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.
