2.3.2 Probe box
The probe box connects the probe and the oscilloscope via the Rohde & Schwarz
probe interface. The Rohde & Schwarz probe interface contains a male precision
7 mm (276 mil) BNC connector and six pogo pin connectors. This interface pro-
vides the required supply voltage and is also used to transmit analog signals and
digital data simultaneously. All the analog voltages required by the probe are gen-
erated in the probe box.
The BNC connector is a precision component designed to reach a much higher
frequency limit when connected to an instrument with Rohde & Schwarz probe
interface.
Connect the probe only to an instrument with Rohde & Schwarz probe interface.
Never connect it to a usual BNC jack, because this can damage the probe inter-
face.
2.3.3 Probe tip modules
To use the probe for measurements, select the appropriate probe tip module and
connect it to the probe amplifier.
