Instruction Manual
ZD200-GSM-REVA
11
Control through the oscilloscope’s interface can be found on
the channel dialog that corresponds with the connected probe.
Refer to your oscilloscope’s manual for specific operation
instructions.
Turning the
Volts/Div
knob controls the oscilloscope’s scale
factor to give full available dynamic range up to 5 V/div.
Auto Zero Operation
The scope software includes a feature to null the probe’s
residual offset voltage. The probe should be disconnected from
any signal and the Auto Zero button on the probe menu
pressed. This will measure any residual offset in the probe and
remove it from the measurement.
Connecting the Probe to the Test Circuit
To maintain the high performance capability of the probe in
measurement applications, care must be exercised in
connecting the probe to the test circuit. Increasing the parasitic
capacitance or inductance in the input paths may introduce a
“ring” or slow the rise time of fast signals. Input leads which
form a large loop area will pick up any radiated
electromagnetic field which passes through the loop and may
induce noise into the probe input.
Using one of the available accessories makes the ZD200 probe
with its small profile and low mass head ideally suited for
applications in dense circuitry.
