Test & Measurement R&S®RTE Digital Oscilloscope Scope of the art

R&S®RTE Digital Oscilloscope At a glance Besides the cursor functions and automated measurements, the R&S®RTE offers even more analysis tools that help users to complete tasks quickly. At the push of a button, for example, the QuickMeas function simultaneously displays the results of multiple measurement functions for the signal that is currently active. The FFT analysis is also unique. It gives the impression of a live spectrum on the screen and reliably detects sporadic signals. More reliable measurements, more tools and fast results, more fun to use – that’s the R&S®RTE oscilloscope. From...

More confidence in measurement results Rohde & Schwarz has many years of experience in the development of precision test and measurement equipment, which also benefits the R&S®RTE oscilloscopes. They offer tried and tested Rohde & Schwarz quality for meeting stringent requirements. High time resolution combined with deep memory The more details an oscilloscope can show, the higher the probability that the user will be able to analyze signal faults or important events. As a prerequisite, the oscilloscope must have a high time resolution that is based on a high sampling rate. In addition, many...

Accurate triggering using a digital trigger system The unique Rohde & Schwarz digital trigger system is also used in the R&S®RTE oscilloscopes. It consists of only one common path for acquisition signal and trigger signal. The instruments determine if the trigger condition has been met by directly analyzing the digitized signal independently of the current sampling rate. As a result, Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes have an extremely low trigger jitter and a high measurement accuracy. Precise measurements due to single-core A/D converter The accuracy of signal digitization depends on the A/D converter's...

More functions and faster results The R&S®RTE includes many integrated measurement tools for detailed signal analysis. They range from simple cursor functions to mask tests to complex mathematical operations. The results are available quickly and are based on a large number of waveforms that provide statistically meaningful information. High measurement speed, even for complex analysis functions In the R&S®RTE oscilloscopes, many measurement functions are hardware-implemented: ❙❙ Histogram ❙❙ Spectrum display ❙❙ Mask test ❙❙ Cursor measurements ❙❙ Selected automatic measurement functions ❙❙ Selected...

History function: looking back in time Where does the interference pulse in the signal come from? What caused the loss of a data bit? Finding the real cause of a problem is often only possible by looking at the history of a signal sequence. The R&S®RTE history function always provides access to previously acquired waveforms. This enables the user to immediately analyze the measurement data stored in memory. Users can scroll through the individual acquisitions with the history player or display them in superimposed form in persistence mode. One timestamp per waveform makes it possible to clearly...

More fun to use The R&S®RTE oscilloscopes unite established concepts with new features and turn user wishes into reality: Just unpack the instrument, switch it on – and measure. Straightforward, smart user guidance Different tools make operation of the R&S®RTE fast and easy, leading quickly to the desired measurement results. The controls for vertical settings and the trigger are colorcoded. Multicolor LEDs around the rotary knobs visualize the channel that is currently in focus. This color-coding corresponds to the signal display on the screen. This clear mapping allows smooth work, even during...

High-resolution touchscreen Signal details at your fingertip The high-resolution 10.4" XGA touchscreen is one of the highlights of the R&S®RTE oscilloscope. It supports touch operation for all functions. Signals can be dragged and dropped onto the screen, the measurement range can be defined using a finger, and dialog boxes can be scaled and positioned on the screen as required. Zoom is a standard tool of digital oscilloscopes for analyzing the details of a captured signal. In addition to the standard zoom function, the R&S®RTE offers an additional highlight, the fingertip zoom. If this function...

Logic analysis with the MSO option Fast and precise testing of embedded designs: The R&S®RTE-B1 mixed signal option turns the R&S®RTE into an easy-to-use mixed signal oscilloscope (MSO) with 16 digital channels. More signal details thanks to high time resolution across the entire memory depth With a sampling rate of 5 Gsample/s, the R&S®RTE-B1 option provides a maximum time resolution of 200 ps for all digital channels. This sampling rate is available across the entire memory depth of 100 Msample per channel. As a result, the MSO option is even capable of detecting critical events such as narrow...

Analysis functions Analysis of serial protocols, even with digital channels To allow efficient analysis of the measurement waveforms, the R&S®RTE-B1 MSO option offers a wide selection of automatic time measurements, including statistical evaluation. Automatic measurements can be performed on all digital channels and their logical combinations. The protocols of serial interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART/ RS-232, CAN, LIN, FlexRay™ and I2S can also be triggered and decoded using the digital channels of the R&S®RTE-B1 option and the appropriate serial protocol options. In addition to time measurements,...
