The oscilloscope settings for attenuation and offset are automatically adjusted.
After the probe is connected to the oscilloscope and the settings are adjusted, the
waveform is shown for the channel to which the probe is connected.
The complete probe information is shown in the probe settings dialog. For more
information, refer to the user manual of your oscilloscope.

Offset Compensation and Dynamic Range
The dynamic range for the R&S
RT-ZPR20/40 power rail probe determines the
maximum voltage swing that may occur between the input terminal and ground.
The dynamic range of the R&S
RT-ZPR20/40 is
±
0.850
V. If this range is excee-
ded, an unwanted signal clipping may occur.
The R&S
RT-ZPR20/40 probe features a very comprehensive offset compensa-
tion function. The compensation of DC components directly inside the probe box
even in front of the active probe amplifier is possible with an extremely wide com-
pensation range of ±60
V. This function is useful when measuring AC signals with
a high superimposed DC component.
► Adjust the offset at the oscilloscope. You can use the vertical [Position] knob,
or the offset setting in the channel or probe setup.
For details, refer to the user manual of your oscilloscope.
