The LeCroy ZS1500 is a 1.5 GHz high-impedance active probe engineered to minimize circuit loading during high-frequency measurements. Its 1 MΩ input resistance and 0.9 pF input capacitance preserve signal integrity on low-impedance nodes. The probe connects via ProBus interface to compatible Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes, enabling automatic setup and instrument control without manual configuration.
