●
Connections should be as short as possible to keep the usable bandwidth high.
●
Observe the operating voltage range.
For more information on RT probes, refer to the probe's documentation.
Connecting Active Probes
In order to use active probes with an R&S FSVA/FSV, an RT-ZA9 adapter is required.
The RT-ZA9 provides an interface between the probe's BNC socket and and the ana-
lyzer's N-socket and provides the necessary supply voltages for the probe via the USB
connection. Using this adapter, the following probes are currently supported:
●
R&S RT-ZS10
●
RT-ZS10E
●
RT-ZS20
●
RT-ZS30
To connect an active probe, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the adapter to the RF Input connector on the R&S FSVA/FSV.
2. Connect the adapter's USB cable to a USB connector on the R&S FSVA/FSV.
3. Connect the probe to the adapter.
Once the probe and adapter have been connected to the R&S FSVA/FSV correctly
and the analyzer has recognized the probe, the "Generic Probe" transducer is activa-
ted and you can start a measurement.
To determine whether the probe has been connected properly and recognized by the
R&S FSVA/FSV, use the remote control command PROB:SET:STAT? (see PROBe:
SETup:STATe? on page 775).
