Passive Probes

LeCroy digital oscilloscopes are provided with a set of passive probes, one per channel. In order to provide the best possible pulse and frequency response, each passive probe is adjusted to match a specific oscilloscope.

Adjustments

Frequency compensation on the high-impedance probes is accomplished through the use of adjustment screws on the probe heads. All LeCroy digital oscilloscopes provide a calibration output on their front panel for this adjustment. The LeCroy 9300C and LC series scopes provide internal capability of adjusting both the amplitude and frequency of the calibration output to suit user preferences. The output is applied to a front panel BNC, and a BNC-to-probe tip adapter is supplied in each probe kit.
