LeCroy is a bit picky which reviewers they support so I guess unless Dave gets one from somewhere else... |

For that one I found a data sheet/overview, which states it's a ProBus device, so I'm kind of leaping to the conclusion the AP020 is as well and might just work unless they made significant changes to ProBus. --- End quote --- I have some AP034 and AP033 (the 500MHz variant) as well, again great probes and they work with all scopes from the old 9300 Series to the current WaveRunner 6zi or HDO Series. The ProBus interface hasn't been changed since its introduction in the 9300 Series back in the '90s, so from the electrical side you should be fine. I just wonder if the firmware on the WS3000 "knows" these probes, but I'd say it would be pretty silly if they didn't. |

Then is it upgradable by sending it to Lecroy and they can change the Frontend board? I am interested in the 200Mhz for the moment but i would like to be able to upgrade it to 750Mhz in the future. --- End quote --- |

You can use active probes with the WaveSurfer, including HFP1000, AP034, AP033, AP020, AP031, ADP300, ADP305, CP500, CP150, CP015, and AP015. Lookin' good for the home team!!! ;D |

I'd definitely be interested in (or add to) a Lecroy comparison / cross compatibility thread. I'm looking for my next one now, so having a(nother) reference point would be of great value, so NO bidding against me on ebay :-) |
