Press Release Summary:
At 100 MHz bandwidth, R&S RT-ZC20B Current Probe can measure AC and DC of max 30 A (RMS)/50 A (peak) current with resolution of 10 mA. Via probe interface, R&S RTO, R&S RTE, and R&S RTM oscilloscopes automatically detect up to 4 current probes connected in parallel. Instruments also automatically adjust vertical scaling and zeroing settings. Degaussing function is activated directly on instrument. With oscilloscopes' 16-bit high definition option, currents less than 1 mA can also be measured.
Original Press Release:
Convenient Current Measurements with the New R&S RT ZC20B Current Probe from Rohde & Schwarz
Munich -- The Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope accessories portfolio now includes the new R&S RT-ZC20B current probe with the Rohde & Schwarz probe interface. Via this interface, R&S RTO, R&S RTE and R&S RTM oscilloscopes automatically detect up to four current probes connected in parallel. The instruments also automatically adjust the vertical scaling and zeroing settings. The degaussing function is activated directly on the instrument. The current probe receives power over the Rohde & Schwarz probe interface, eliminating the need for an external power supply. At 100 MHz bandwidth, the R&S RT-ZC20B can measure AC and DC of a maximum 30 A (RMS)/50 A (peak) current with a resolution of 10 mA and low noise. Combined with the R&S RTO/R&S RTE 16 bit high definition option, currents less than 1 mA can also be measured. This makes the current probe ideal for numerous power electronics applications, especially for evaluating switched-mode power supplies that require measurement of high frequency current components.
The new R&S RT ZC20B current probe is now available from Rohde & Schwarz. For more information, visit www.rohde-schwarz.com/ad/Press/scope_portfolio.
