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 pro-
vides the required supply voltage and is also used to transmit analog signals and
digital data simultaneously. All the analog voltages required by the probe are gen-
erated 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.

&
Schwarz probe interface with
7
mm (276
mil) coaxial connector and 6
pogo
pins
(2) Release knob
Connect the R&S
RT-ZC05B only to an instrument with Rohde
&
Schwarz probe
interface. Never connect it to a usual BNC jack. Although the 7
mm coaxial con-
nector looks like a standard BNC connector, it is constructed differently and does
not fit to the standard BNC jack. The interface of the R&S
RT-ZC05B can with-
stand a higher frequency limit.
