® Connecting the probe R&S RT-ZISO Connecting the probe receiver to the oscilloscope 3.2.1.1 Connecting the probe box and the probe receiver For connection, you need the scope connector cable. 1. Make sure that the oscilloscope is properly grounded. The probe receiver is grounded by the Rohde & Schwarz probe interface through the grounding of the oscilloscope.
Page 26
For example, if you use an MXO 5 with more than four R&S RT-ZISO probes, an external power supply is needed. The power LED at the receiver and the power monitor at the oscilloscope indicate insuf- ficient power supply.
Page 27
3. Remove the multicontact cable from the rear of the probe receiver. 3.2.2 Connecting the probe to an unsupported oscilloscope The R&S RT-ZISO probe can be connected to any oscilloscope, including non- Rohde & Schwarz instruments. These oscilloscopes are named unsupported oscillo- scopes, and they are not listed as supported instruments.
