Setting Up and Demagnetizing
Before starting measurements, demagnetizing the core and a zero adjustment of
the probe are required.
Risk of circuit damage
Do not demagnetize while the R&S
RT-ZC10B 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.
Risk of instrument damage
Make sure to open the clamp of the probe always with the slider.
All settings of the base unit described in this section refer to the R&S
RTO/RTE/RTP oscilloscopes.
On the R&S RTM, the probe settings can be found in the "Channel" menu:
CH N > "More > Probe".
To demagnetize and zero-adjust the probe:
1. Connect the R&S
RT-ZC10B current probe as described in
.
2. Make sure that there is no conductor in the sensor aperture.
3. Close the clamp until it snaps in.
4. Press the slider on the sensor head until the UNLOCK indication disappears
and hold it until LOCK appears. Lock the lever firmly and close the clamp
securely.
5. On the "Vertical" menu of the R&S RTO/RTE/RTP, select "Probe Setup".
6. Select the channel the probe is connected to.
7. Tap "DeGauss".
