Page 9: Product Description
Unpacking and checking Product description The R&S RT-ZC10 is an AC/DC current probe. It allows the user to make current measurements from DC to 10 MHz. By clamping on the conductor to be mea- sured, the current waveform is captured easily without interrupting the electric cir- cuit. -

Page 12: Connecting The Probe
Handling the probe Connecting the probe Handling the probe The R&S RT-ZC10 can withstand a moderate amount of physical and electrical stress. To avoid damage, treat the probe with care: ● Prevent the probe from receiving mechanical shock. ● Avoid strain on the probe cable and route it carefully. Keep the cable away from heat sources, as bare conductors could be exposed if the insulation melts. -
Page 13: Connecting The Probe To The Power Supply
Turn off the power switch at the rear of the R&S RT-ZA13 probe power supply. 3. Connect the power cord. 4. Connect the power plug of the R&S RT-ZC10 to the power receptacle of the R&S RT-ZA13 probe power supply. -

BNC connectors, make sure the polarity is correct. To connect the probe: 1. Insert the output connector of the R&S RT-ZC10 into one of the BNC input connectors of the oscilloscope. 2. Turn the collar until it clicks. -
Page 15: Setting Up And Demagnetizing
Setting up and demagnetizing 1. With the waveform measuring instrument input at ground, adjust the waveform to the zero position. 2. Connect the R&S RT-ZC10 current probe to the power supply as described in Chapter 3.2, "Connecting the probe to the power supply", on page 13. -
Page 16: Connecting The Probe To The Dut
® Connecting the probe R&S RT-ZC10 Connecting the probe to the DUT The demagnetizing process takes about 3 seconds. During demagnetizing, a demagnetizing waveform is shown on the oscilloscope. The positive and neg- ative components of this waveform may be asymmetrical. -
Page 17: Considerations For Measurements
® Connecting the probe R&S RT-ZC10 Considerations for measurements The current consumption of clamp-on probes depends on the current to be mea- sured. Confirm that the total current consumption of the probes does not exceed the rated output current of the R&S RT-ZA13 probe power supply. - Page 18 ® Connecting the probe R&S RT-ZC10 Considerations for measurements Self-heating may happen if the ambient temperature increases or the mea- surement current waveform contains other frequency components. ● If the input current exceeds a certain level, generated heat activates a built-in safety function that blocks normal output.
- Page 19 ® Connecting the probe R&S RT-ZC10 Considerations for measurements Drift, oscillation, and sound ● Immediately after powering on, the probe may be subject to an appreciable offset drift due to the effect of self-heating. Therefore, warm up the probe for about 30 minutes before carrying out measurements.
- Page 20 ® Connecting the probe R&S RT-ZC10 Considerations for measurements At high frequencies, common mode noise may affect measurements taken on the high-voltage side of circuits. If this occurs, reduce the frequency range of the waveform measuring instrument, or clamp onto the low-voltage side of the circuit, as appropriate.
