Power of Ten
The RTB2002 and RTB2004 boast the largest display (10.1 inches) with the highest resolution of 1280 x 800 pixel in its class, a capacitive touchscreen to quickly navigate in pop-up menus and a touch function to easily adjust scaling, to zoom in or to move a waveform – works just like your smartphone. The 10-bit A/D converter yields up to a four-fold improvement compared to conventional 8-bit A/D converters. You get sharper waveforms with more signal details. 10 Msample memory depth is available on each channel if all channels are active. When interleaved, 20 Msample are available to capture longer signal sequences for more analysis results.
Ready for the Teaching Lab
The RTB2000 oscilloscope is the perfect choice to teach students how to measure with an oscilloscope. This Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope has an easy-to-use concept combined with state-of-the-art technology – at an affordable price. Students appreciate the intuitive and quick access to frequently used functions via dedicated buttons and capacitive touchscreen operation. And they solve their lab tutorial without worrying about oscilloscope functionality. 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. Professors especially like the password-protected education mode that disables automatic functions such as Autoset. The built-in web server lets teachers display their screen content with the classroom and over a network. The remote interfaces makes updating and monitoring several units as easy as switching on a light bulb.
X-in-1 Integration Saves Space and Costs
With the RTB2000, students and professors in a university lab get an oscilloscope plus logic and protocol analyzer, waveform and pattern generator and digital voltmeter. Dedicated operation modes for frequency analysis, mask tests and long data acquisitions are also integrated. Debugging all kinds of electronic systems is easy and efficient – and satisfies the all-important rule of investment protection. The compact design and small footprint save precious bench space in the lab.
Oscilloscope
With an excellent sampling rate and memory depth the RTB2000 oscilloscope excels in its class. A waveform update rate of more than 50,000 waveforms/s ensures a responsive instrument that reliably catches signal faults. Included standard tools provide quick results, e.g. QuickMeas, mask tests, FFT, math, cursors and automatic measurements, including statistics.
Logic Analyzer
The RTB-B1 option turns every 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.
Protocol Analyzer
Protocols such as I2C, SPI and CAN/LIN frequently transfer control messages between integrated circuits. The RTB2000 has versatile options for protocol-specific triggering and decoding of serial interfaces. Selective acquisition and analysis of relevant events and data is possible. With the hardware-based implementation, smooth operation and a high update rate is ensured even for long acquisitions. This is advantageous, for example, to capture multiple packetized serial bus signals.
Waveform and Pattern Generator
The integrated 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. Before playing signals back, the user can preview them to quickly check signal correctness. Predefined patterns for e.g. I2C, SPI, UART and CAN/LIN can be used.
Digital Voltmeter
The RTB2000 features a three-digit voltmeter (DVM) and sixdigit frequency counter on each channel for simultaneous measurements. Measurement functions include DC, AC+DCRMS and ACRMS – included in scope of delivery.
Frequency Analysis Mode
Difficult-to-find faults often result from the interaction between time and frequency signals. The FFT function of the RTB2002 and RTB2004 is activated with the push on a button and by just entering center frequency and span. Due to the high-performance FFT functionality of these oscilloscopes, 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 RTB2000 Series oscilloscopes. This pulse output can be used to trigger actions in the measurement setup.
History and Segmented Memory Mode
The RTB-K15 history function option increases the memory from 10 Msample to 160 Msample, allowing scrolling through past acquisitions and analyze the data using all of the oscilloscope tools, e.g. protocol decode and logic channels. In ultra-segmented mode, waveforms are seamlessly captured before visualization. Serial protocol and pulse sequences are recorded practically without interruptions.
The Best Choice for Education and Manufacturing Testing
The RTB2000 gives you more than just an oscilloscope. Its logic analyzer, protocol analyzer, waveform and pattern generator and digital voltmeter, as well as dedicated operating modes for frequency analysis, mask tests and long data acquisitions make the Rohde & Schwarz RTB2000 the perfect tool for university laboratories, for troubleshooting embedded designs during development, and for production and service departments.
