Probe Box

The probe box connects the probe and the oscilloscope via the Rohde & Schwarz
probe interface. The Rohde & Schwarz probe interface contains a male precision
7 mm (276 mil) BNC connector and six pogo pin connectors. This interface pro-
vides the required supply voltage and is also used for simultaneously transmitting
analog signals and digital data. All the analog voltages required by the probe are
generated in the probe box. This approach ensures that it will be possible to oper-
ate future probes on any base unit that features a Rohde & Schwarz probe inter-
face.
Risk of interface damage
Make sure to connect the probe only to a base unit or an adapter having a
Rohde & Schwarz interface. Do not connect the probe to a commercially
available BNC jack, as this can cause irreparable damage to the interface.
From the outside, the 7 mm coaxial connector looks like a standard BNC
connector. However, it is constructed differently and is capable of a signifi-
cantly higher frequency limit.
