Figure 2-6: Differential offset compensation voltage for single-ended measurement (negative signal
socket connected to ground e.g. RT-ZHD15 attenuation low)
Only differential DC offsets can be compensated. It is
not possible to compensate for
common mode DC offsets using the offset compensation function. For a definition of
differential and common mode input voltages, see Chapter 3, "Characteristics of Differ-
ential Probes", on page 28.
To set the offset compensation on the front panel
1. Press the vertical POSITION knob until the "Offset" setup is shown on the display.
2. Turn the vertical POSITION knob.
To set the offset compensation using the probe menu
1. On the "Vertical" menu, select "Probe Setup".
2. Select the channel.
3. Tap the offset field you want to adjust.
Additionally, the probe offers automatic offset compensation by means of the micro
button. A single push of the button compensates the DC component of the measure-
ment signal which is particularly helpful during measurements of input signals with dif-
ferent DC offsets (see also Chapter 2.6, "Micro Button", on page 25).
To assign "Set offset to mean" to the micro button
► "Vertical" menu > "Probe Setup" > "Ch" tab > "Micro button action" = "Set offset to
mean"
For more details on setting the offset compensation voltage, refer to the "User Manual"
of the R&S oscilloscope.
