Description

The R&S® HMO1002 and R&S® HMO1202 digital oscilloscopes from the Rohde & Schwarz test and measurement product range feature a high waveform update rate, high vertical sensitivity and are available with bandwidths from 50MHz to 300MHz. Depending on the specific model, the oscilloscope offers a maximum memory depth of 2Msa and a sampling rate of 2GSa/s.

Like all R&S® HMO oscilloscopes, the Rohde & Schwarz HMO1212 include the mixed signal functionality as standard. The separately available R&S® HO3508 logic probe can be used with all R&S® HMO oscilloscopes.

For the analysis of communications between embedded systems, hardware-based signal triggering and decoding for all common protocols (I²C, SPI, UART, CAN and LIN) is included. This option can be activated with an upgrade voucher at any time, even after sale.

The integrated pattern generator for generating protocol messages at up to 50 Mbit/s is ideal for embedded users. In addition to using predefined messages for supported serial protocols, developers can program their own signal patterns. The integrated, three-digit digital voltmeter is especially useful for service technicians. It enables the Rohde & Schwarz HMO1212 to simultaneously perform voltage measurements on both analog channels with two values each. A function generator for different types of signals with frequencies up to 50 kHz is useful in educational settings. Trainees and students can use these basic signals to learn a broad range of measurements. Convenience functions can be switched off in education mode.

Thanks to the powerful FFT over 128,000 test points and analysis functions in the frequency domain, the Rohde & Schwarz HMO1212 keep pace with significantly larger oscilloscopes. The time domain signal, measurement window, FFT analysis range and measurement result are displayed on a single screen, which makes it easier to measure the spectra.

The Rohde & Schwarz HMO1212 offer time domain, logic, protocol and frequency analysis in a single instrument and belong to the Rohde & Schwarz scope-of-the-art family of oscilloscopes.

Special Features

Serial bus analysis

I2C, SPI, CAN or LIN are without a doubt the most frequently used communication protocols when it comes to embedded systems interacting with the outside world. The R&S® RTC1000 and R&S® RTC1000 oscilloscopes offer hardware-based signal triggering and decoding for all of these protocols. Customers can upgrade their instruments via software license keys with the functions they need to develop their application.

Pattern generator

Are you working in a distributed project, and the interface definition has been completed but the prototype hardware has yet to be implemented? The pattern generator includes a tool for user programmable 4-bit bus signals that allows you, for example, to emulate a sensor signal in order to continue your work.

Generate protocol messages at speeds of up to 50 Mbit/s
Use predefined signal patterns: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN
Create your own patterns tailored to your needs, or modify the predefined signal patterns

Digital voltmeter (DVM)

The three-digit digital voltmeter is another standard feature that is particularly useful for service technicians. Voltage measurements can be performed simultaneously for both analog channels. Integrated into a single compact device, it helps you keep your workplace tidy.

Simultaneous measurements on both analog channels, with two user-definable parameters each
Available options: DC, AC + DCRMS, crest factor, Vpp, Vp+, Vp–
You determine the position of the values on the screen

Component tester

Our tried and tested component tester will also be at your side. A 50 Hz and a 300 Hz measuring frequency is provided to support your potentially tedious search for faulty components. And since a picture says more than a thousand words – or rather a thousand values – you will be able to tell at a glance if your error analysis is on track.

Sinusoidal signal in the time domain

Quite often, the distortion of input signals cannot be detected with the naked eye in the time domain. For example, a sine-wave signal might appear undistorted at first glance. Only the frequency spectrum shown in the frequency domain clearly displays additional harmonics that occur at multiples of the fundamental frequency. Since the FFT function can also be applied to stored waveforms, selected segments of signals acquired in single or stop mode can be analyzed later using a window with user-selectable width.

Frequency spectrum

Due to the high-performance FFT functionality of the R&S® RTC oscilloscopes, signals can also be analyzed in the frequency domain with up to 128,000 points. Other practical tools include cursor measurements and detection of signal peaks. Development engineers can complete their analysis significantly faster, even in the frequency domain.
