Description (4 Channel, 70 MHz, Arbitrary Waveform Generator, History and Segmented Memory)
The R&S RTB 2 series oscilloscopes combine the power of ten with smart operating concepts, making them the ideal all-purpose tool for students, hobbyists, technicians and engineers. As a successor to the highly capable R&S RTB2000, the R&S RTB 2 series features a 10-bit ADC, 10 Msample memory, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen.
Additionally, the R&S RTB 2 series includes an integrated arbitrary waveform generator history and segmented memory capabilities. Furthermore, all RTB 2 models are MSO-ready, allowing the use of up to 16 digital channels with the appropriate probes.
These oscilloscopes offer four times the vertical resolution of standard 8-bit ADCs while maintaining fast sampling rates at all times. With the largest display and highest resolution in their class, they provide extensive capabilities for university laboratories, troubleshooting embedded designs during development, and for production and service departments.
The R&S RTB 2 series is the perfect solution for anyone needing precise and reliable measurements.
Note: This oscilloscope is MSO ready. Logic probes must be purchased separately to enable MSO functionality.
Several Versions Available
The RTB 2 oscilloscope series offers 2- and 4- channel models with four different bandwidths. Please see the table below for an overview of the models. See the specification sheet for more details.
Signal Analysis: Quick Results
The R&S RTB 2 features a customized Rohde & Schwarz engineering 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 voltage across the switching device must be determined during the on/off times within the same acquisition.
Capture More Time at Full Bandwidth
The R&S RTB 2 offers a class leading memory depth. 10 Msamples per channel are available, even 20 Msamples 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.
Standard Segmented Memory Function
Every R&S RTB 2 is equipped with standard segmented memory functionality. Protocol-based signals with communications gaps such as I2C or SPI can be captured over several seconds or minutes. The variable segment size optimally utilizes the 160-Msample memory. In history mode, previous acquisitions in the maximum segmented memory depth of 160 Msamples are available for further analysis.
Logic Analysis with MSO Option (Sold separately)
Every R&S RTB 2 is MSO ready, which allows the R&S RTB2-B1 option to enable up to 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 A/D converter input and output can conveniently be determined with the cursor measurements.
Waveform and Pattern Generator
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 including I2C, SPI, UART and CAN/LIN can be used.
Digital Voltmeter
The R&S RTB 2 features a 3-digit voltmeter (DVM) and 6-digit frequency counter on each channel for simultaneous measurements. Standard measurement functions include DC, AC+DC (RMS) and AC (RMS).
