R&S® RTA4K-COM4

Be the first to write a review

4 channel oscilloscope with 1 GHz Bandwidth, 5 GSa/s sample rate, 10 Bit A/D converter, 100 Mpts memory depth and a 25.7 cm touchdisplay (1280x800 pixel). Inclusive a MSO with a 16 channel logic analyzer, 1 channel waveform generator and pattern generator and all decoder options.

Description

The largest display 25.7 cm (10.1") with the highest resolution of 1280 × 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. 100 Msample memory depth (1 Gsample fast segmented memory) is available on each channel if all channels are active. When interleaved, 200 Msample are available. That is 10 times more than comparable oscilloscopes offer. This captures longer signal sequences for more analysis results.

The R&S® RTA4K-COM4 gives users more than just an oscilloscope. It also has the capabilities for a logic analyzer, protocol analyzer, waveform and pattern generator and digital voltmeter.

Dedicated operating 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 at a very attractive price.

Special Features

Oscilloscope

With a sampling rate of up to 5 Gsample/s and a memory depth of up to 200 Msample, the R&S® RTA4K-COM4 oscilloscope excels in its class. A waveform update rate of more than 64 000 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, mincluding statistics.

Logic analyzer

The R&S®RTA-B1 option turns every R&S® RTA4K-COM4 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 timecorrelated 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 R&S® RTA4K-COM4 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 R&S®RTA-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 R&S® RTA4K-COM4 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 R&S® RTA4K-COM4 is activated with the push on a button and by just entering center frequency and span. Due to the high-performance FFT functionality of the R&S® RTA4K-COM4 oscilloscopes, signals can be analyzed with up to 128k point. 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® RTA4K-COM4. This pulse output can be used to trigger actions in the measurement setup.

History and segmented memory mode

The standart history function option provides 1 Gpts. Users scroll through past acquisitions and analyze the data using all of the oscilloscope tools, e.g. protocol decode and logic channels. Serial protocol and pulse sequences are recorded practically without interruptions.

Spectrum Analysis and Spectrogram

A spectrogram displays the spectrum of frequencies as they vary over time. For easy interpretation, the magnitude can be color-coded. Thanks to the high FFT rate, even fast frequency changes can be displayed. When used in combination with the segmented memory option, the spectrogram marker shows the time of the acquisition and makes it possible to load the corresponding time and frequency waveforms onto the screen. All R&S®RTA4000 tools can be used to analyze the loaded waveforms.

Power Analysis

Accurate voltage and current probes with a suitable measurement range are critical for power measurements. Rohde & Schwarz offers a complete probe portfolio for different power measurement applications – ranging from μA to kA and from μV to kV.
