Configuring the Probe Adapter RT-Z2T with remote commands

Question

I use the probe adapter RT-Z2T to connect probes of Tektronix to my scope.

When the probe adapter is connect, the menu offers the probes which can be connected. How can I select the probe with remote commands?

Answer

Unfortunately that function is not covered with remote commands until now. Please use the following workaround:

  • Connect the probe adapter and select the probe type you are using manually.
  • Then save the setting with "FILE" --> "SETUP" --> "SAVE" to the internal memory.
  • As an example the setting is saved as "TP202.SET"
  • This needs to be done only once.

To load the setup with remote commands:

  • MMEM:CDIR '/INT/SETTINGS'
  • MMEM:LOAD:STAT 1, TP202.SET'
