Connecting the Probe to the DUT
This chapter describes the different ways of connecting the probe to the DUT. In
addition, the accessories supplied are described and their use is explained.
In order to achieve optimum RF performance, the connections should always be
as short as possible.
Risk of injuries
The included probe pins are exceptionally sharp and must be handled with
extreme care. To prevent injuries, always use tweezers when inserting or
removing pins.
Some solder-in accessories are very fine and sensitive. Stabilize the probe
using appropriate means (e.g. adhesive pads, probe positioner) in order to
protect the solder joint from excessive mechanical stress.
The R&S
RT
‑
ZA15 external attenuator has the same tip - and the same signal
and ground sockets - as the R&S
RT

ZD10/20/30 probe head. All accessories for
the probe can be used with the external attenuator.
