R&S RTO2000 oscilloscope

Rohde & Schwarz has launched the R&S RTO2000, a compact lab oscilloscope for multidomain applications. The product has a 12.1″ capacitive touchscreen with gesture support and colour-coded controls, enabling users to easily configure the instrument for any measurement task.

Via the analog input channels, the user simultaneously sees the signal in the time and frequency domain, and if desired, the spectrogram. Other 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, making it easy to detect disturbances in the spectrum during EMI debugging or to separate read/write cycles of storage media in the time domain.

The oscilloscope offers a memory of up to 2 Gsample, useful for the history function, which provides access to previously acquired waveforms. The high-definition mode increases the vertical resolution to up to 16 bits, making signal details visible, and activates configurable lowpass filtering of the signal after the A/D converter. The product also offers one million waveforms/s, allowing users to quickly detect sporadic signal faults.

The product is available as a two- or four-channel model with a bandwidth of 600 MHz, 1 GHz, 2 GHz, 3 GHz or 4 GHz.
