3.3
Setting Up and Demagnetizing
Before starting measurements, demagnetizing the core and a zero adjustment of
the probe are required.
Risk of circuit damage
Do not demagnetize while the R&S RT-ZC05B is clamping a conductor to
be measured. Demagnetizing causes current to flow into the conductor,
which may damage parts in the circuit to be measured.
Risk of instrument damage
Make sure to open the clamp of the probe always with the slider.
All settings of the base unit described in this section refer to the R&S
RTO/RTE oscilloscopes.
On the R&S RTM, the probe settings can be found in the "Channel" menu:
CH N > "More > Probe".
To demagnetize and zero-adjust the probe:
1. Connect the R&S RT-ZC05B current probe as described in
page
13.
2. Make sure that there is no conductor in the sensor aperture.
3. Close the clamp until it snaps in.
4. Press the slider on the sensor head until the UNLOCK indication disappears,
and hold it until LOCK appears. Check that the lever is firmly locked and the
clamp is securely closed.
5. On the "Vertical" menu of the R&S RTO/RTE, select "Probe Setup".
6. On the left side of the "Setup" tab, select the channel to which the probe is
connected.
7. Tap "DeGauss".
