Connecting the Probe to the DUT
This chapter describes how to connect the probe to the DUT using different
accessories supplied for the R&S
RT-ZPR20/40 probe. The various accessories
are described and their use is explained.
The recommended configurations are designed for best probe performance in
various probing situations. Thus, you can measure quickly and with confidence in
the performance and signal fidelity. Use the recommended connection configura-
tions for accurate oscilloscope measurements with known performance levels.
Using solder-in accessories
Some solder-in accessories are very fine and sensitive. Stabilize the probe using
appropriate means (e.g. adhesive pads, probe positioner) in order to protect the
solder joint from excessive mechanical stress.
Before soldering or unsoldering the pigtail cable, disconnect the pigtail cable from
the probe box.
Observe operating temperature range
The R&S
RT-ZPR20/40 probe box has a specified operating temperature range
from 0
°C to 40
°C, whereas the pigtail and extension cables can withstand wider
on page 21). Do not subject the probe box to temperatures outside of its operat-
ing range.
