Special accessories for signal socket
The signal socket of the R&S
RT-ZS60 has a special design to ensure optimal
performance. The signal socket is
not
compatible to standard accessories
based on 0.64
mm (25
mil) square pins or 0.8

Probe Box
The probe box connects the probe and the oscilloscope via the Rohde & Schwarz
probe interface. The Rohde & Schwarz probe interface contains a male precision
7
mm (276
mil) BNC connector and six pogo pin connectors. This interface provides
the required supply voltage and is also used for simultaneously transmitting analog
signals and digital data. All the analog voltages required by the probe are generated
in the probe box. This approach ensures that it will be possible to operate future
probes on any base unit that features a Rohde & Schwarz probe interface.

Risk of interface damage
Make sure to connect the probe only to a base unit or an adapter having a
Rohde & Schwarz interface. Do
not
connect the probe to a commercially
available BNC jack, as this can cause irreparable damage to the interface.
From the outside, the 7
mm coaxial connector looks like a standard BNC
connector. However, it is constructed differently and is capable of a signifi-
cantly higher frequency limit.
