Demagnetizing and Zero Adjustment
Risk of circuit damage
●
Do not demagnetize while the R&S
RT-ZC10 is clamping a conductor to
be measured. Demagnetizing causes current to flow into the conductor,
which may damage parts in the circuit to be measured.
●
Check that the conductor being measured is not clamped when supply-
ing power to the R&S
RT-ZC10. When power is turned on, a demagnet-
izing waveform is initially applied to the output. This is intentional in the
design, and not a fault.
Risk of instrument damage
Make sure to open the clamp of the probe always with the slider.
1. With the waveform measuring instrument input at ground, adjust the waveform
to the zero position.
2. Connect the R&S
RT-ZC10 current probe. Configure the oscilloscope as
described in
Chapter 3.1, "Preparing the Measurement"
3. Make sure that there is no conductor in the sensor aperture.
4. Close the clamp until it snaps in.
