R&S®RTB2000 oscilloscope

Signal analysis: quick results

See small signal details in the presence of large signals

The R&S®RTB2000 features a customized Rohde & Schwarz engineered 10-bit A/D converter that delivers a fourfold improvement compared to conventional 8-bit A/D converters. The increased resolution results in sharper waveforms with more signal details that would otherwise be missed. One example is the characterization of switched-mode power supplies. The voltages across the switching device must be determined during the on/off times within the same acquisition.

Capture more time at full bandwidth

10 Msample standard and 20 Msample interleaved

The R&S®RTB2000 offers a class-leading memory depth: 10 Msample per channel are available, even 20 Msample in interleaved mode. This is 10 times more than similar oscilloscopes in the same instrument class. The user captures longer acquisition sequences even at high sampling rates, e.g. when analyzing transients of switched-mode power supplies, and thus benefits from more detailed analysis results.

Segmented memory

160 Msample with history function

The R&S®RTB-K15 option with deep, segmented memory analyzes signal sequences over a long observation period. Protocol-based signals with communications gaps such as I²C or SPI can be captured over several seconds or minutes. Thanks to the variable segment size, the 160 Msample memory is optimally utilized. In history mode, previous acquisitions to the maximum segmented memory depth of 160 Msample are available for further analysis.

Logic analysis with the MSO option

16 additional digital channels

The R&S®RTB-B1 option turns every R&S®RTB2000 into an intuitive-to-use MSO with 16 additional digital channels. The oscilloscope captures and analyzes signals from analog and digital components of an embedded design – synchronously and time-correlated to each other. For example, the delay between input and output of an A/D converter can conveniently be determined using the cursor measurements.

Waveform and pattern generator

Generate analog and digital stimuli

The R&S®RTB-B6 waveform and pattern generator up to 50 Mbit/s is useful for educational purposes and for implementing prototype hardware. Apart from the common sine, square/pulse, ramp and noise waveforms, it outputs arbitrary waveforms and 4-bit signal patterns. Waveforms and patterns can be imported as CSV files or copied from oscilloscope waveforms. Predefined patterns for e.g. I²C, SPI, UART and CAN/LIN can be used.

Digital voltmeter

Measure and display electrical potential

The R&S®RTB2000 features a 3-digit voltmeter (DVM) and 6-digit frequency counter on each channel for simultaneous measurements. Measurement functions include DC, AC+DC (RMS) and AC (RMS) – included as standard.

Frequency analysis mode

Difficult-to-find faults often result from the interaction between time and frequency signals. The FFT function of the R&S®RTB2000 is activated at the push of a button and by simpling entering the center frequency and span. Thanks to the R&S®RTB2000 oscilloscopes’ high-performance FFT functionality, signals can be analyzed with up to 128 kpoints. Other practical tools include cursor measurements and autoset in frequency domain.

Mask test mode

Mask tests quickly reveal whether a specific signal lies within defined tolerance limits. By using statistical pass/fail evaluation, they assess quality and stability of a DUT. Signal anomalies and unexpected results are quickly identified. When the mask is violated, the measurement stops. Each violation can generate a pulse output at the AUX-OUT connector on the R&S®RTB2000. This pulse output can be used to trigger actions in the measurement setup.

Ready for the teaching lab

In the teaching lab, the R&S®RTB2000 oscilloscope is the perfect choice to teach students how to measure with an oscilloscope. It has an easy-to-use concept combined with state-of-the-art technology – at an affordable price. The large 10.1" high-resolution screen shows every signal detail, and one instrument can be shared among several students. Reports can be efficiently created with the handy and flexible screen annotation tool.
