When the R&S
ProbeMeter is active, the measured values are displayed on the
oscilloscope. The R&S
ProbeMeter state is part of the probe settings of the chan-
nel to which the probe is connected. For details, refer to the user manual of the
Rohde
&
Schwarz oscilloscope.
Advantages of the R&S
ProbeMeter:
●
Measures DC voltages of different levels, no need to adjust the measurement
range of the oscilloscope.
●
True DC measurement (integration time > 100 ms), not mathematical average
of displayed waveform.
●
High measurement accuracy and low temperature sensitivity.
●
Simple means of setting the oscilloscope's trigger level and vertical scaling if a
waveform is not visible.
●
Independent of oscilloscope settings for offset, position, vertical scale, hori-
zontal scale, and trigger.
●
Independent of probe settings for measurement mode and gain.
●
Measurement range ±8 V + offset compensation setting. Maximum measure-
ment accuracy is achieved when offset compensation is switched off.
The R&S
ProbeMeter enables the ground-referenced measurement of voltages.
A difference in the ground levels of oscilloscope and DUT can cause an unwan-
ted zero error. In this case, correct the zero error, see
Chapter 2.3.1, "Zero
Adjustment"

on page 17.
