The R&S RT-ZVC multichannel power probe offers up to four voltage and four current channels with 18-bit resolution for high dynamic range current and voltage measurements.

With up to two R&S RT-ZVC probes supported on a single R&S RTE or R&S RTO oscilloscope, it is possible to analyse eight high dynamic range voltage and eight high dynamic range current signals in parallel with signals captured by the oscilloscope.

With up to four current and four voltage input channels, each with 18-bit ADC resolution, the R&S RT-ZVC02/-ZVC04 multichannel power probe provides the dynamic range needed to analyse current consumption in all mobile device activity phases.

Three built-in shunts and an external shunt mode in combination with switchable gain factors allow users to optimise the input current range. Differential inputs provide floating measurements within an input voltage operating window of ±15 V. Settings are fully controlled from the oscilloscope user interface.

A bandwidth of 1 MHz and a sampling rate of 5 MS/s allow the user to capture fast current pulses. To analyse the overall power consumption of battery-powered devices, the very low sleep-mode currents have to be captured at the same time. For very high dynamic range measurements, the integrated low-pass filter reduces the bandwidth down to 5 kHz and minimises overall system noise.
