Operation<br />

General Information<br />

The <strong>DA</strong><strong>1855A</strong> has been designed to be used with oscilloscopes equipped with a ProBus interface.<br />

Connecting the Differential Amplifier to the oscilloscope through the ProBus interface will<br />

automatically control all the required settings from the oscilloscope and will lock-out the <strong>DA</strong><strong>1855A</strong><br />

front panel controls. All front panel controls are now accessible through the oscilloscope user<br />

interface. The <strong>DA</strong><strong>1855A</strong> user interface can be viewed from the Channel setup dialog for the channel<br />

to which it is connected. The <strong>DA</strong><strong>1855A</strong> front panel controls will operate manually when the<br />

Differential Amplifier is connected to an oscilloscope not provided with a ProBus interface.<br />

NOTE: Removing the ProBus interface cable with the differential amplifier still powered up, requires<br />

the <strong>DA</strong><strong>1855A</strong> to be turned OFF and ON to access the front panel controls.<br />

Dynamic Range<br />

The basic amplifier dynamic range in X1 Gain and ÷1 Attenuation is ± 0.500 V. Changing the gain and<br />

or attenuation will affect both the Differential Mode and Common Mode ranges.<br />

The Differential Mode range is scaled by both gain and attenuation, while the Common Mode range<br />

is scaled by attenuation only.<br />

Gain<br />

Mode*<br />

Common Mode*<br />

1 ÷1 ± 0.5 V ± 15.5 V<br />

1 ÷10 ± 5.0 V ± 155 V<br />

10 ÷1 ± 50 mV ± 15.5 V<br />

10 ÷10 ± 0.5 V ± 155 V<br />

* Attenuation, Common Mode and Differential Mode ranges are scaled with external probe attenuation. A ÷10<br />

probe will increase all these values by a factor of 10.<br />
