Micro button

The micro button provides easy and quick access to important functions of the
Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope. After a function has been assigned, pressing the
micro button remotely controls this specific function on the base unit. For exam-
ple, "Run continuous" or "Run single" are often assigned to the micro button.
The configuration of the micro button is part of the probe settings of the channel
to which the probe is connected. For more details, see the oscilloscope's user
manual.
4.5 R&S ProbeMeter
The R&S ProbeMeter is an integrated voltmeter that measures DC voltages with
higher precision compared to the oscilloscope's DC accuracy. The DC voltage is
measured continuously and runs parallel to the time domain measurement of the
oscilloscope.
High-precision measurements are achieved by immediate digitization of the mea-
sured DC voltage at the probe tip.
The R&S ProbeMeter measures the differential and common mode DC voltages
simultaneously, and independently of the MultiMode setting.
When the R&S ProbeMeter is active, the measured values are displayed on the
oscilloscope. The R&S ProbeMeter state is part of the probe settings of the chan-
nel to which the probe is connected. For details, refer to the user manual of the
Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope.
Advantages of the R&S ProbeMeter:
● Measures DC voltages of different levels, no need to adjust the measurement
range of the oscilloscope.
● True DC measurement (integration time > 100 ms), not mathematical average
of displayed waveform.
● High measurement accuracy and low temperature sensitivity.
● Simple means of setting the oscilloscope's trigger level and vertical scaling if a
waveform is not visible.
● Independent of oscilloscope settings for position, vertical scale, horizontal
scale, and trigger.
