Rohde & Schwarz Probes and accessories for Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes 13
R&S®ProbeMeter: integrated, high-precision
voltmeter
The integrated voltmeter is unique to Rohde & Schwarz
active probes. It operates independently of the oscillo-
scope and measures the DC component of a signal
with an accuracy of 0.1 %. The full dynamic range of the
R&S®ProbeMeter is always available, irrespective of the
oscilloscope settings. As a result, supply voltages and
operating points can be quickly and precisely measured
and, with the press of a button, the DC component can be
auto matically compensated for AC measurements – with
optimal dynamic range. In the case of differential probes,
the DC components of both the differential and the com-
mon mode component of the input signal can be mea-
sured simultaneously.
Integrated memory and future-ready probe
interface
Rohde & Schwarz active broadband probes have a data
memory that is loaded with probe-specific calibration data.
This ensures maximum accuracy and allows automatic
probe detection. Active probes have a probe interface with
a precision BNC-compatible connector that can transmit
signals up to 18GHz. These probes will also work with
future Rohde & Schwarz broadband oscilloscopes.
Flexible configuration of the micro button function on the oscilloscope R&S®ProbeMeter: high DC measurement accuracy, independent of the
instrument settings and in parallel with the measurement channel
Wide dynamic range and high linearity – perfect
for spectrum analysis
All Rohde & Schwarz active broadband probes exhibit
a wide dynamic range, which is also available at high
frequencies. This means that even very fast signals
and steep, high-amplitude pulse slopes can be mea-
sured. For measurements involving particularly strin-
gent linearity requirements (such as FFT analyses using
the R&S®RTO oscilloscopes), an excellent choice is the
R&S®RT-ZS60 single- ended probe with its exceptionally
high linearity (THD of –70dB at 16V (peak-to-peak) at
1GHz). The optional R&S®RT-ZA9 N(m) adapter allows
Rohde & Schwarz broadband probes to be used with spec-
trum and signal analyzers.
Integrated micro button for convenient instrument
control
Measuring with multiple probes often requires a third hand
to operate the oscilloscope. The integrated micro button
on the probe tip solves this problem. It can be configured
on Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes to perform a variety of
functions, such as run/stop, auto set or save waveform.
