High time resolution combined with deep memoryAccurate triggering with a digital trigger system The R&S®RTE offers a combination of sampling rate and The unique Rohde & Schwarz digital trigger system is also memory depth that is unique in this class. A sampling rate used in the R&S®RTE oscilloscopes. It consists of one of 5 Gsample/s at a memory depth of 50 Msample is avail- common path for acquisition signal and trigger signal.

This ensures high time resolution and ex- instruments determine if the trigger condition has been cellent signal fidelity, even for long acquisition sequences, met by directly analyzing the digitized signal independently e.g. when analyzing transients of switched-mode power of the current sampling rate. This is why Rohde & Schwarz supplies. oscilloscopes have extremely low trigger jitter, very high trigger sensitivity and high measurement accuracy. Finding rare signal faults quickly thanks to one million waveforms/sPrecise fault detection with diverse trigger modes The acquisition cycle of a oscilloscope consists of two R&S®RTE oscilloscopes have 14 different trigger modes steps. First, the oscilloscope samples the signal and stores for precisely isolating relevant signal events. In addition to the samples. In a second step, it processes these samples simple trigger conditions such as edge, pulse width and and displays the waveform on the screen. During this pe- runt, it also supports complex conditions such as logical riod, the oscilloscope is “blind” to the signal. Signal faults combination of channels, a bit pattern trigger and a video that occur during this blind time remain hidden to the user. trigger (NTSC, PAL, PAL-M, SECAM, EDTV, HDTV). A wide Fast detection of rare signal faults requires an oscilloscope range of serial protocol trigger options are also available. with short blind time and a high acquisition rate. The core of R&S®RTE oscilloscopes is an ASIC that was especially designed for parallel processing. As a result, the R&S®RTE can acquire, analyze and display more than one million waveforms per second without a special acquisition mode. The high acquisition rate makes it possible to find signal faults faster and more reliably, effectively shortening de- bugging time.
