Safety Instructions

This section contains instructions that must be observed to keep this oscilloscope accessory

operating in a correct and safe condition. You are required to follow generally accepted safety

procedures in addition to the precautions specified in this section. The overall safety of any system

incorporating this accessory is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.

Symbols

These symbols may appear on the probe body or in this manual to alert you to important safety

considerations.

HIGH VOLTAGE, risk of electric shock.

CAUTION of Potential damage to probe or instrument it is connected to, or

WARNING of potential bodily injury. Attend to the accompanying

information to protect against personal injury or damage. Do not proceed

until conditions are fully understood and met.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) HAZARD. The probe is susceptible to

damage if anti-static measures are not taken.

DOUBLE INSULATION

PROTECTIVE (EARTH) TERMINAL

Precautions

To avoid personal injury, or damage to the probe or test instrument, comply with the following

safety precautions.

Use product only as specified.

Connect and disconnect properly. Connect probe to the measurement instrument before

connecting the test leads to a circuit/signal being tested.

Use only accessories compatible with the probe. Use only accessories that are rated for the

application. Ensure connections between probe input leads and probe accessories are secure

before connecting them to a voltage source.

AP033 Active Differential Probe

2 922260-00 Rev A

Do not overload. To avoid electric shock, do not apply any potential that exceeds the maximum

rating of the probe and/or the probe accessory, whichever is less. Observe all terminal ratings of

the instrument before connecting the probe.

Be careful not to damage the insulation surface when making measurements.

Use only within operational environment listed. Do not use in wet or explosive atmospheres.

Keep product surfaces clean and dry. Use indoors only.

Handle with care. Probe accessory tips are sharp. They can puncture skin or cause other bodily

injury if not handled properly.

Keep fingers behind the finger guard of the probe accessories.

Do not operate with suspected failures. Before each use, inspect the probe and accessories for any

damage such as tears or other defects in the probe body, cable jacket, accessories, etc. If any part

is damaged, cease operation immediately and sequester the probe from inadvertent use.

Operating Environment

Only use the product within this operating environment:

Temperature: 0° to 50° C

Humidity: Maximum relative humidity 90 % for temperatures up to 31° C decreasing linearly to

50% relative humidity at 40° C

Altitude: Up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m)

Overview

Description

The AP033 is a wide band differential active probe. The probe features low noise, low input

capacitance, high common mode rejection, and FET-buffered inputs in the probe head. User

selectable attenuation and offset give the probe flexibility to measure a large range of signal

amplitudes. Plug-on attenuator and AC coupling accessories further extend the application range.

Interconnect accessories included allow connection to surface mount and through-hole

components with minimal signal degradation. The input receptacles in the probe head are

compatible with standard 0.025 in. (0.635 mm) square pins. This provides a convenient low cost

method of creating device characterization test fixtures.

The probe is powered directly from a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope through the ProBus® interface.

The ProBus interface also allows local control of the probe through the oscilloscope user interface

and remote control through the interface buses, (GPIB, RS-232). The optional ADPPS power supply

allows the AP033 to be used with other instruments such as spectrum analyzers, network

analyzers, and oscilloscopes without ProBus interface.

Applications

The AP033 is ideal for acquiring high speed differential signals such as those found in disk drive

read channels, differential LAN, video, etc. It can also be used with spectrum analyzers to acquire

signals in some RF systems (for example, balanced IF mixers in hand held cellular telephones). The

high impedance characteristics of both inputs allow the probe to be used as a FET probe to make

single-ended measurements in digital systems without introducing a ground loop, as a conventional

FET probe would.

Oscilloscope Software Compatibility

For full control functionality of the probe, Teledyne LeCroy LC series oscilloscopes must have

software version 8.1.0 or higher loaded; all X-Stream oscilloscopes are compatible. The software

version installed in a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope can be verified by pressing the SHOW STATUS

button on the front panel (where available), then selecting the System menu choice. The probe can

be used with earlier versions of software; however, probe offset can only be controlled through the

buttons on the probe body. Also, the scale factor will be displayed incorrectly in some modes.

For information on upgrading the software in your oscilloscope, see

teledynelecroy.com/support/softwaredownload, or contact your local Teledyne LeCroy

representative.
