Predefined probe
List of probes that are known to the instrument. The instrument lists only probes that
match the instrument coupling and, if connected, also the used adapter.
Select the used probe on the list. The corresponding "Vertical unit" and the "Attenua-
tion" or "Gain" are shown.
All other unrecognized probes that are not listed, are unknown probes. For these
probes, set "Predefined probe" to "None". See Chapter 5.5.8, "Setup for unknown
probes", on page 214.
Remote command:
PROBe<m>:SETup:ATTenuation:DEFProbe on page 1138
TRPRobe:SETup:ATTenuation:DEFProbe on page 1138 (trigger input)
Offset to mean
Performs an automatic compensation for a DC component of the input signal using the
result of a background mean measurement. The result is shown in "Offset". The func-
tion is probe-independent and supports quick and convenient measurements of input
signals with different DC offsets. It detects offset values even when the signal is out of
the current measurement range. It also sets the zero level to the determined DC offset
in the middle of the screen and thus prevents clipping of the waveform.
Remote command:
PROBe<m>:SETup:OFFSet:TOMean on page 1139
Line impedance
If the transmission line probe R&S RT-ZZ80 is selected, enter the impedance of the
measured line.
The actual attenuation of the transmission line probe depends on the impedance of the
line Z
0
:
Attenuation = 10 + Z
0
/ 100
The instrument uses the actual attenuation to determine the measurement values.
5.5.7 Setup for current probes
The setup and adjustment of current probes depends on the output connector of the
probe: BNC or Rohde & Schwarz probe box.
The following shared probe settings are available:
●
"Type, Name, Bandwidth" on page 195
●
"Detect AutoZero, Use AutoZero" on page 195
●
"External attenuation: Scale, Attenuation" on page 196
