6.4 Probes
With R&S MXO 4 oscilloscopes, you can use various probe types. Mostly these probes
are passive and active voltage probes. The instrument can detect many probes and
read out the probe-specific parameters, for example, bandwidth and attenuation.
You find all settings that are relevant for the connected probe in the "Vertical" > "Probe"
tab. The settings on the "Probe" tab change 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 MXO 4
reads out the main characteristics of the probe and displays them. Other probes can-
not 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.
The complete characteristic of the connected probe is shown on the "Vertical" > "Probe
Info" tab.
6.4.1 Common probe settings
Access: "Menu" > "Vertical" > "Probe" tab
Most the settings in the "Probe" tab are available for all probes. For some probe types,
additional settings are needed. These settings are described in the sections for the
individual probe types.
