Overrange indication
There are two different indications for overrange:
●
Input overrange indicates an overrange of an input signal against earth.
●
Output overrange lights up if the differential voltage is too high even if the voltage
to earth is within the specification.
Each overrange condition is indicated by an individual red LED (3 LEDs in total) and a
common buzzer signal. The buzzer can be switched off.
Switchable bandwidth limit
The R&S RT-ZHD contains a switchable analog low pass with a cutoff frequency of 5
MHz. For measurements with long leads, it is convenient to reduce overshot and noise
by activating the bandwidth limit.
Switchable attenuation
The R&S RT-ZHD has three attenuation modes:
●
"Auto": (default on start-up and preset)
The attenuation of the probe is automatically selected by the oscilloscope and
depends on the vertical scaling of the scope.
●
"Attenuation high"
You can select the attenuation of the probe and it is not changed by the vertical
scope settings. In this mode, you reach the maximum measurable differential vol-
tages.
●
"Attenuation low"
You can select the attenuation of the probe and it is not changed by the vertical
scope settings. If the attenuation is changed from "high" to "low", the sensitivity is
changed by the factor of 10 and the measurable differential voltage is divided by a
factor of 10.
Press the range button of the probe to change the mode.
Attenuation setting vs. maximum measurable voltages
The attenuation setting has only an impact on the maximum measurable differential
voltage between the two input voltages, but does not reduce the maximum input volt-
age itself.
Data memory
The probe includes an integrated data memory with individual probe correction param-
eters (e.g. gain, delay, offset). These correction parameters are read out and pro-
cessed by the Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope. As a result, the probe offers a high
degree of accuracy so that additional calibration procedures are not required.
