6.4.3.1 Settings for the Rohde & Schwarz probe interface
The Rohde & Schwarz probe interface provides special features: the micro button and
the ProbeMeter.
MicroButton
The micro button is located on the probe head. Pressing this button, you initiate an
action on the instrument directly from the probe. The button is disabled during internal
automatic processes, for example, during self alignment, autoset, and level detection.
Select the action that you want to start from the probe.
"Run Continuous"
Starts or stops the acquisition (same as Run / Stop key).
"Run single"
Starts a defined number of acquisitions (same as [Single] key).
"Auto set"
Starts the autoset procedure (same as Autoset key).
"AutoZero"
Starts an auto zero measurement.
"Set offset to mean"
Performs an automatic compensation for a DC component of the
input signal using the result of a background mean measurement.
"Save image to file"
Saves the current display as image according to the image settings.
"No action"
Select this option to prevent unwanted actions due to unintended
usage of the micro button.
"Find trigger
level"
Sets the trigger level automatically to 0.5 * (MaxPeak – MinPeak).
"Probe Setup"
Opens the probe setup on the screen.
Remote command:
PROBe<ch>:SETup:MODE on page 446
ProbeMeter
Activates the integrated R&S ProbeMeter on probes with Rohde & Schwarz probe
interface.
The R&S ProbeMeter is a voltmeter. It measures DC voltages between the probe tip
and ground connection or between the probe tips with very high precision. The mea-
surement runs continuously and in parallel to the measurements of the oscilloscope.
If a single-ended or power rail probe is connected, the ProbeMeter measures DC vol-
tages between the probe tip and ground connection and enables ground-referenced
measurements of voltages.
If a differential probe is connected, you can select if the ProbeMeter measures differen-
tial and common mode voltages, or single-ended voltages. See "Display" on page 124.
