EMI-Sensitive Environments - Superior EMC Compliance
- For vision-based monitoring systems, Dragonfly S provides EMC Class B compliance. This high level of compliance makes it suitable for direct integration in environments sensitive to EMI radiation without the need for additional shielding (e.g. Hospitals with X-ray and MRI machines, security screening checkpoints, etc.)
"Having worked with multiple Teledyne IIS camera series for over a decade, I had high expectations for the Dragonfly series as an upgrade to one of the existing camera lines we use in our high performance Eye-tracking systems. I'm pleased to say that it not only met but exceeded our expectations. The Dragonfly's flexible configurations made it very straightforward to integrate into our existing workflow. The Dragonfly provides a cost effective solution to our need for high quality machine vision cameras and has become an invaluable asset for our Eye-tracking systems."

Transmission line probes are a special type of passive probe designed for use at very high frequencies. They replace the high impedance probe cable found in a traditional passive probe with a precision transmission line, with a characteristic impedance that matches the oscilloscope input (50 Ohm). This greatly reduces the input capacitance to a fraction of a picofarad, minimizing the loading of high frequency signals. A matching network at the tip increases the DC input resistance. While they have lower DC input resistance than a traditional passive probe (usually 500 Ohm) to 1kOhm), the input impedance of these probes remains nearly constant over their entire frequency range. A traditional /10 passive probe will have a 10 MOhm) input impedance at DC, however this impedance drops rapidly with frequency, passing below the input impedance of a transmission line probe at less than 100 MHz.
- Allows TekProbe interface level II probes to work with any ProBus-equipped Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope
- Automatic probe detection
- Provides all necessary power and offset control to the attached probe

Probe adapters provide simple and easy interface of third-party probes as well as change between the different Teledyne LeCroy Oscilloscope input and cable types (ProBus, ProLink, K/2.92 mm, BNC and SMA). Depending on the adapters, changing between the Teledyne LeCroy Oscilloscope's input type may have an effect on the overall performance of the channel.

With the ProBus interface, the ZD500, 1000, and 1500 becomes an integral part of the oscilloscope. All probe gain and offset controls are transparent to the user, making it easier to probe the circuit without concern for which gain setting to choose. When used with a LeCroy digital oscilloscope, no external power supply is required.
Fully Integrated: With the ProBus™ interface, the AP033 becomes an integral part of the oscilloscope. The probe sensitivity and offset can be controlled from the oscilloscope front panel, the probe front panel, or by using remote control commands (GPIB or RS-232). Sensitivity, offset, input capacitance, and common mode voltage range are displayed on the oscilloscope screen. When used with a LeCroy digital oscilloscope, no external power supply is required.

With the ProBus interface, the ZD200 becomes an integral part of the oscilloscope. The probe sensitivity and offset are automatically optimized based on the oscilloscope gain settings, so control is transparent to the user. When used with a LeCroy digital oscilloscope, no external power supply is required.
