To include the measured offset in measurement results, enable "Use AutoZero".
If a current probe is connected, the function demagnetizes the probe's sensor head
and sets the waveform to zero position. See "Detect AutoZero" on page 213.
Remote command:
PROBe<m>:SETup:OFFSet:AZERo on page 1125
PROBe<m>:SETup:OFFSet:USEautozero on page 1125
External attenuation: Scale, Attenuation
Consider a voltage divider that is part of the DUT before the measuring point. The
external attenuation is included in the measurement, and the instrument shows the
results that would be measured before the divider. External attenuation can be used
with all probes.
"Scale"
Select linear or logarithmic attenuation scale.
"Attenuation"
Enter the attenuation of the voltage divider according to the selected
scale. The conversion from linear to logarithmic values depends on
the "Vertical unit" of the probe:
For voltage-based unit (V and A):
attenuation (dB) = 20 * log
10
(attenuation factor)
For power-based unit (W):
attenuation (dB) = 10 * log
10
(attenuation factor)

5.5.2 Settings for the R&S probe interface (voltage probes)
Active voltage probes with Rohde & Schwarz probe interface provide special features:
the micro button and the ProbeMeter. Furthermore, the R&S RTE can read out the
attenuation of the probe.
