Identification Of Buffer Amplifier And Probe; Connecting The Buffer Amplifier To The Dut; Disconnecting The Buffer Amplifier From The Dut - R&S RT-Z1M Manual

®
R&S RT‑Z1M
► To disconnect the buffer amplifier:
a) Press and hold the release button (3).
b) Pull the buffer amplifier away from the oscilloscope.

3.2 Identification of buffer amplifier and probe

When the R&S RT‑Z1M is connected to the oscilloscope, the oscilloscope recognizes
the buffer amplifier and reads out the specific parameters from the data memory of the
buffer amplifier.
When a probe is connected to the buffer amplifier, the oscilloscope also reads the
probe-specific parameters through the buffer amplifier.
For information on probe-specific settings and information, refer to the oscilloscope's
user manual.

3.3 Connecting the buffer amplifier to the DUT

Observe the following step order when connecting the components of the measure-
ment setup. Also read and observe the instructions in
on page 5.
1. Connect the buffer amplifier to the grounded oscilloscope.
2. Connect the probe to the buffer amplifier.
3. Switch off the test circuit.
4. Connect the probe to the DUT. Ensure a stable connection between the DUT and
the probe.
5. Switch on the test circuit.

3.4 Disconnecting the buffer amplifier from the DUT

Observe the following step order when disconnecting the measurement setup. Also
read and observe the instructions in
1. Switch off the test circuit.
2. Disconnect the probe from the DUT.
3. Disconnect the probe from the buffer amplifier.
4. Disconnect the buffer amplifier from the oscilloscope.
