April 8, 2015 – Teledyne LeCroy Korea (General Manager Woon-Jae Lee, teledynelecroy.co.kr) announced today the high-sensitivity current probes CP030A and CPO031A. These probes are set to 1mA per division, allowing users to measure currents ranging from a few mV to 30A. Instantaneous peak currents can be measured up to 50A. The probes are compact, making them suitable for measurements on modern, complex boards. The wire connection area is very small, allowing for use in confined spaces, and they can clamp wires up to a maximum diameter of 5mm. The CP030A and CP031A are equipped with specifications for 50MHz and 100MHz bandwidths, respectively.

The CP030A and CP031A extend the capabilities of the Teledyne LeCroy current probe series to a wider range by enabling the measurement and analysis of low current waveforms. Sensitivity of 1 mA/div combined with 1% DC and low-frequency accuracy enable more precise and accurate low current measurements on Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes. When used in conjunction with high-end HDO oscilloscopes featuring HD4096 technology, users will obtain highly accurate low current waveforms with 12-bit resolution, along with incomparably enhanced debugging and analysis capabilities compared to competitors.

While many current probes require an external power supply to display waveforms on the oscilloscope screen, the CP030A and CP031A probes connect to the oscilloscope via the ProBus interface, so they do not require additional hardware. The Teledyne LeCroy ProBus interface powers the probes and enables communication between the probes and the oscilloscope to provide units and probe status. It automatically displays the current waveform in Amperes (Amps) on the screen and accurately calculates the power waveform in Watts by automatically calculating the product of current and voltage signals. This complete integration allows Degauss and Autozero functions to be performed directly within the oscilloscope user interface.
