WaveSurfer 3000 Oscilloscopes

Analog Inputs

A series of BNC connectors arranged on the front of the oscilloscope are used to input analog signal on Channels 1-4.
EXT, on the back of the oscilloscope, can be used to input an external trigger pulse.

WaveSurfer Channel 1-4 connectors use the ProBus interface. The ProBus interface contains a 6-pin power and
communication connection and a BNC signal connection to the probe. It includes sense rings for detecting passive
probes and accepts a BNC cable connected directly to it. ProBus offers both 50 Ω/1 MΩ input impedance and control for
a wide range of probes.

The interfaces power probes and completely integrate the probe with the oscilloscope channel. Upon connection, the
probe type is recognized and some setup information, such as input coupling and attenuation, is performed
automatically. This information is displayed on the Probe Dialog, behind the Channel (C

x

) dialog. System (probe plus

oscilloscope) gain settings are automatically calculated and displayed based on the probe attenuation.

Probes

WaveSurfer3000 oscilloscopes are compatible with the included passive probes and all Teledyne LeCroy ProBus active
probes that are rated for the oscilloscope’s bandwidth. Probe specifications and documentation are available at
teledynelecroy.com/probes.

The passive probes supplied with your oscilloscope are matched to the input impedance of the instrument but may
need further compensation. Follow the directions in the probe instruction manual to compensate the frequency
response of the probes.
