In the "Setup" tab, you find all settings that are relevant for the connected probe.
Access: "Vertical" menu > "Probe Setup"
The functionality on the "Setup" tab changes according to the type of the attached
probe. Probes with Rohde & Schwarz probe interface (probe box), and also many
other passive voltage probes, are recognized by the instrument. The R&S RTE reads
out the main characteristics of the probe and displays them. Other probes cannot be
detected, but their characteristics are known to the instrument. These known probes
are called "Predefined probes". Probes that are not recognized automatically and not
predefined are unknown probes, they require manual setting of measurement unit and
attenuation.
Before you adjust the settings, select the correct channel tab.
Additional information is given in the "Probe Attributes" and "Calibration Results" tabs.
For background information, see Chapter 5.1.4, "Probes", on page 172.
