Product Description
2.1
Product Overview
The R&S RT-ZC20B is an AC/DC current probe. It allows the user to make cur-
rent measurements from DC to 100 MHz. By clamping on the conductor to be
measured, the current waveform is captured easily without interrupting the elec-
tric circuit.
Since the probe is equipped with the Rohde & Schwarz probe interface, it can be
connected to any Rohde & Schwarz base unit that is compatible with this inter-
face. When connected to the front panel of a Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope, the
probe is controlled using the software of the oscilloscope.
