Accessory R&S RTC1000
12 of 12 Article
The R&S® RTC1000 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® RTC1000 oscilloscopes, the R&S® RTC1K-COM2 include the mixed signal functionality as standard. The separately available R&S® RTC-B1 logic probe can be used with all R&S® RTC1000 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 R&S® RTC1K-COM2 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 R&S® RTC1K-COM2 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 R&S® RTC1K-COM2 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.

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.R&S® RTC1000 - X-in1 oscilloscope
R&S® RTC1000 Series oscilloscopes provides high sensitivity and multifunctionality to a great price. Multi functionality offers time domain, logic analyzer, protocol analyzer, frequency analysis, pattern generator, waveform generator and digital voltmeter.
R&S® RTC1000 - Serial protocol triggering and decoding
Protocols such as I²C, SPI and CAN/LIN frequently transfer control messages between integrated circuits. The R&S®RTC1000 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.
R&S® RTC1000 - Frequency analysis
Difficult-to-find faults often result from the interaction between time and frequency signals. The FFT function of the R&S®RTC1000 is activated with the push on a button and by just entering center frequency and span. Due to the high-performance FFT dunctionality of the R&S®RTC1000 series oscilloscopes, signals can be analyzed with up to 128 kpoints. Other practical tools include cursor measurements and autoset in frequency domain.
R&S® RTC1000 - 7 s boot up and ready to measure
The R&S® RTC1000 boots in just 7 seconds and is ready to measure.
R&S® RTC1000 - Component testing
A component tester and an oscilloscope can be used to examine whether components are defective or functional. By using a component tester capacitors, resistors, transistors, thyristors, coils, zener diodes, diodes and resulting circuits such as rectifiers are tested. The component tester is a valuable tool for troubleshooting, especially if there is no explicit wiring diagram. This is especially true in the hobby field and basic electronic education. To meet these needs and requirements, the new R&S®RTC1000 series oscilloscopes come standard with a component tester, reducing the number of devices required.
R&S® RTC1000 - Digital Channels
The R&S®RTC1000 option turns every R&S®RTC1000 into an intuitive-to-use MSO with 8 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.
R&S® RTC1000 - XY Mode
R&S® RTC1000 series oscilloscopes feature a standard XY mode. The ability to plot signals against each other allows you to view the relationship betwwen them.
R&S® RTC1000 - Waveform and pattern generator
The integrated 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. 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.
