To optimize the battery life of embedded devices, the de-

vice's active, sleep and hibernate current consumption

needs to be balanced. While active current consumption

can reach levels of tens or hundreds of mA, sleep currents

are often as low as several µA, but they still significantly

influence battery life since devices are in sleep mode most

of the time.

Very high dynamic range with 18-bit ADC

resolution

With up to four current and four voltage input channels,

each with 18-bit ADC resolution, the R&S®RT-ZVC02/

-ZVC04 multi-channel power probe provides the dynamic

range needed to analyze current consumption in all mobile

device activity phases.

Internal and external shunt current measurement

with switchable sensitivity

Three built-in shunts and an external shunt mode in com-

bination with switchable gain factors lets you optimize the

input current range. Differential inputs provide floating

measurements within an input voltage operating window

of ±15 V. Settings are fully controlled from the oscillo-

scope user interface.

Multi-channel

power probe

Power consumption is a major concern in the

internet of things (IoT) world and for a lot of

consumer electronics devices. The R&S®RT-ZVC

multi-channel power probe offers up to four

voltage and four current channels with 18-bit

resolution for high dynamic range current and

voltage measurements. With up to two R&S®RT-ZVC

probes supported on a single R&S®RTE, R&S®RTO

or R&S®RTP oscilloscope, it is possible to analyze

eight high dynamic range voltage signals and eight

high dynamic range current signals in parallel with

signals captured by the oscilloscope.
