Performance Verification Procedure
The warranted characteristics of the AP015 Current Probe are valid at any temperature within the Environmental Characteristics listed in the Specifications. However, some of the other test equipment used to verify the performance may have environmental limitations required to meet the accuracy need
ed for the procedure. Make sure that the ambient conditions meet the requirements of all the test instruments used in this procedure.
Note:
The correct operation of the controls of the AP015 requires oscilloscope software version
7.6.0 or higher. The use of earlier versions is not recommended. The software version in the
test oscilloscope can be verified by pushing SHOW STATUS, then selecting the System menu
option. Contact your local LeCroy representative if the software in your oscilloscope requires
updating.
A.Check Bandwidth:
1.Set Leveled Sine Wave Generator frequency to 50kHz, the output level to approximately 5Vp-p
(+18dBm), and turn the RF ON.
2.Connect the output to the BNC connection of the high speed shunt calibration fixture, AP015-
CF02, using the matched BNC coaxial cable specified for use with the leveled sine wave generator.
3.Open the slider and connect the AP015 to the high speed shunt calibration fixture. Close and lock
the probe slider by pushing it fully away from the probe cable.
4.Push the AUTO SETUP button on the oscilloscope. Press MEASURE TOOLS, set the mode to
Std Voltage, on trace 1, from 0.00 div to 10.00 div.
5.Adjust the generator level until the current is 100 mA peak to peak, as measured using the peak to
peak function on the oscilloscope.
6.Set the sine wave generator frequency to 25 MHz. Be careful not to alter the signal amplitude.
7.Slowly increase the output frequency until the displayed amplitude of the current sine wave
decreases to 71mA peak to peak (a 3dB reduction in amplitude).
8.Check that this frequency is greater than 50MHz, and record the frequency on the test record.
B.Check DC Accuracy.
1.Set the DC Power Supply output voltage to approximately 0 V.
2.Remove the AP015 from the oscilloscope, and reconnect using the ProBus extension cable. Install
a BNC T connector, BNC cable, and BNC to dual banana plug adapter as shown in the figure on
the following page. Connect the dual banana plug adapter into one of the digital multimeters.
3.Using banana patch cords, connect the 'V Source' terminal of the 50 Turn Calibration Loop,
AP015-CF01, to the positive output of the power supply. Connect the 'V Return' terminal to the
power supply negative terminal. (Refer to Figure 1 on the following page.)
4.Connect the Current Sense terminals of the 50 Turn Calibration Loop to the voltage inputs of the
second digital multimeter.

Figure 1. DC Accuracy Test Set Up 5. With the AP015 removed from any signal and the slider returned to the LOCKED position, degauss the probe by pressing the DEGAUSS button, (located on the coupling menu), twice.
6. Open the AP015 slider and position the probe input around the 50 Turn loop. Close and LOCK the
slider.
7. Set the oscilloscope channel vertical scale to 20A/div.
8. With the power supply set to 0V, press the 'Null' button of the multimeter measuring the probe
voltage to subtract the probe's offset voltage from the measurement. (If the multimeter being used
does not have this capability, the offset value can be manually subtracted from the probe output
values recorded below).
9. Increase the power supply voltage until the voltage measured at the 'Current Sense' terminals
(DMM #2) is approximately 150mV. (This corresponds to 15A at the probe head).
10. Record the exact value (a) of the current sense voltage measured with DMM #2 on the test record
line marked '15A Current Sense', and (b) the probe output voltage measured with DMM #1 on the
line marked '15A Probe Output'.
11. Multiply the value recorded for '15A Current Sense' by 10, and record this value on the line labeled
'15A Current'.
12. Calculate the percentage difference between the probe output voltage and the actual current using
the equation 100 * (b - c)/c. Record this value on the line marked '15A Accuracy'.
13. Verify that the 15A Accuracy is ≤1%
14. Increase the power supply voltage until the voltage measured at the 'Current Sense' terminals is
approximately 300mV. (This corresponds to 30A at the probe head).
15. Record the exact value (a) of the current sense voltage on the test record line marked '30A Current
Sense', and (b) the probe output voltage on the line marked '30A Probe Output'.
16. Multiply the value recorded for '30A Current Sense' by 10, and record this value on the line labeled
'30A Current'.

17.Calculate the percentage difference between the probe output voltage and the actual current using
the equation 100 * (e - f)/f. Record this value on the line marked '30A Accuracy'.
18.Verify that the 30A Accuracy is ≤2%
19.Leave the connection set up for the remaining test.
C.Check Peak Current
Caution:
This test increases the power dissipated inside the probe. Do not leave the increased
current turned on for extended periods of time longer than needed to complete the test
(10 seconds).
1.Increase the power supply voltage until the voltage measured at the 'Current Sense' terminals is
>500mV. (This corresponds to >50A at the probe head).
2.Note the probe output voltage. Verify that the voltage remains stable without significant decrease
for 10 seconds before shutting the current off. Record '>10sec' on the test record.
This completes the Performance Verification of the AP015. Complete and file the results recorded in the AP015 Performance Verification Test Record as required by your quality procedures. Apply suitable calibration label to the AP015 housing as required.

Introduction
This procedure can be used to adjust the AP015 Current Probe in order to meet the warranted gain specification. The other parameters verified in the Performance Verification procedure do not have adjustments associated with them. This procedure should only be performed if the instrument fails to meet the Performance Verification tests.
If the probe cannot be adjusted to meet the Performance Verification limits, repair may be necessary.
To assure instrument accuracy, check the calibration of the AP015 every year. Before calibration, thoroughly clean and inspect this unit as discussed in Cleaning earlier in this section.
Adequate guard bands were designed into this instrument to assure it will meet or exceed published specifications over the entire operating temperature range. To continue to meet the environmental specifications, all adjustments must be performed in a controlled environment with an ambient temperature of 25o±5o C. The instrument must also be at stable operating temperature before performing adjustments.
Caution:
The adjustment procedure will require removal of the instrument covers. These covers are part of
the ESD protection system of the AP015. To protect the instrument, the entire procedure should
only be performed on a static dissipating work surface. The technician should wear an antistatic
grounding wrist strap and follow standard static control procedures.
Test Equipment Required
The adjustment procedure requires a subset of the equipment required for Performance Verfication. Refer to Table 1 located in the Performance Verification procedure.
If alternate test equipment is substituted, control settings or calibration equipment setups may need to be altered. Alternate models of test equipment may have different connector styles requiring adapters not included in the equipment list.
Preliminary Procedure
1.Remove the two screws that secure the plastic cover on the cable end of the ProBus interface housing.
Gently pull on the probe cable to slide the circuit board assembly from the metal housing.
2.Connect the AP015 (without the compensation box cover ) to the oscilloscope using the setup for the DC
Accuracy check in the Performance Verification Procedure. (Refer to Figure 1 in the Performance
Verification section).
Caution:
The compensation box cover serves to align the ProBus connector pins during mating. With the
cover remved, care must be used to assure corret alignment of the connector pins. Applying power
with the pin alignment offset may damage te probe.
3.Turn on the oscilloscope power switch to allow the probe to warm up at least 20 minutes before
proceeding with the gain adjustment.
