Connecting the probe to the oscilloscope
The output of the probe is terminated internally. Use an Rohde
&
Schwarz
oscilloscope with high impedance inputs. Accurate measurement is not pos-
sible with an impedance of 50
Ω
.
The probe is designed for usage with oscilloscopes that have a Rohde
&
Schwarz
probe interface. Supported Rohde
&
Schwarz oscilloscopes are listed in the pro-
be's data sheet.
1.
NOTICE!
Risk of circuit damage. When the current probe is connected, a
demagnetizing waveform is initially applied to the core. Rohde
&
Schwarz
oscilloscopes demagnetize the probe automatically when the probe is connec-
ted to the instrument.
Check that the conductor being measured is not clamped when connecting
the R&S
RT-ZC20B to the oscilloscope.
2.
NOTICE!
Risk of damaging the probe.
Connect the probe only to an instrument with Rohde
&
Schwarz probe inter-
face. Never connect it to a usual BNC jack, because this can damage the
probe interface.
Connect the probe box (1) to the Rohde & Schwarz probe interface of the
oscilloscope (2).
The probe snaps in when connected properly to the port.
