2.3.2.3 Coupled Channels
Channel coupling sets the vertical settings of the coupled channels to the values of the
active channel. If two or more channels should have the same vertical settings, you can
set them at once by coupling the settings of these channels.
Channel coupling affects all vertical settings that are adjusted in the "Channels" tab: ver-
tical scale, position, offset, bandwidth, coupling, and ground.
2.3.3 Probes
With R&S RTO, you can use various probe types, most of all these are passive and active
voltage probes. The "Probes" dialog box provides all probe-relevant information.
For background information, see chapter 2.1.4, "Probes", on page 20.
For passive probes, the probe attenuation is read out and shown in the "Setup" tab.
Passive probes require compensation.
2.3.3.1 Setup
The "Setup" tab provides settings and information on probe configuration.
The functionality on the tab changes according to the type of the attached probe. Voltage
probes provided by R&S, and also many other passive voltage probes, are recognized
by the instrument. It reads out the main characteristics of the probe and displays them.
For other probes, which are not recognized automatically, the manual entry of measure-
ment unit and attenuation is required.
Most active single-ended and differential probes from Rohde & Schwarz (R&S RT-
ZS10/20/30 and R&S RT-ZD20/30) provide special features for easier use and precise
measurements. These features also appear on the tab if one of these probes is attached:
●
Configuration of the micro button action
●
DC measurement with R&S ProbeMeter
