Oscilloscope offers multi-domain operation

Via the analog input channels, the user simultaneously sees the signal in the time and frequency domain, and if desired, the spectrogram. Newly added functions such as peak list, max. hold detectors and the logarithmic display make frequency analysis even more efficient.

The new zone trigger enables the graphical separation of events in the time and frequency domain. Users can define up to eight zones of any shape. A trigger signal is activated when a signal either intersects or does not intersect the zone. This makes it especially easy to detect disturbances in the spectrum during EMI debugging or to separate read/write cycles of storage media in the time domain.

It is the first oscilloscope in this class to offer a memory of up to two Gsample. This is useful for the history function, which provides access to previously acquired waveforms at any time. A trigger timestamp allows time correlation. Users can view all saved signals and analyse them with tools such as zoom, measurement, math and spectrum analysis functions. Signal processing in the ASIC and intelligent memory management ensure smooth handling of long pulse and protocol sequences.

The latest R&S RTO2000 oscilloscope can also deliver outstanding performance. The HD mode increases the vertical resolution to up to 16 bits, making signal details visible. The HD mode activates configurable lowpass filtering of the signal after the A/D converter. Users can trigger on all, even the smallest, signal details.

With one million wps, the R&S RTO2000 sets a new standard in this class of oscilloscopes. Users are able to quickly detect sporadic signal faults. The R&S RTO2000 provides high-speed analysis even when histogram and mask functions are active.

The optimised user interface makes the R&S RTO2000 very simple to operate. Thanks to the 12.1" capacitive touchscreen with gesture support and color-coded controls, users can easily configure the instrument for any measurement task. Users can customise the waveform display with SmartGrid. They can quickly access important tools on a toolbar and document measurement results and instrument settings at the press of a button. The app cockpit provides direct access to all available applications such as trigger and decoding functions, conformance and signal integrity tests, I/Q analysis and even customer-specific development tools.

The R&S RTO2000 is now available from Rohde & Schwarz as a two or four channel model with a bandwidth of 600MHz, 1GHz, 2GHz, 3GHz or 4GHz. Rohde & Schwarz will present the R&S RTO2000 to the public for the first time at the international embedded world 2016 trade fair in Nuremberg, from 23rd to 25th February, in hall 4, booth 4-218.
