Electronica: ‘Entry-level’ scope from Rohde & Schwarz

Rohde & Schwarz revealed a second-generation if its entry level oscilloscope with two or four channels, and bandwidth options of 70, 100, 200 or 300MHz.

Guide price for the 70MHz two channel model is €1,690.

RTB 2 is an an evolution of the 2017 RTB2000, keeping the touchscreen and 10bit vertical resolution, and adding an arbitrary waveform generator and 160Mpoint segmented memory.

The waveform generator is capable of generating signals up to 25 MHz with samples at up to 50Mbit/s.

Predefined patterns for I²C, SPI, UART, CAN and LIN are provided, and it supports imported CSV file waveforms or oscilloscope captures.

Noise can be added to the output to simulate real world conditions, said the company.

As well as an oscilloscope and AWG, the instrument can act as a protocol analyser and a logic analyser.

“This multi tool integration makes it ideal for students, hobbyists and engineers working in environments with limited space,” according to the company. “The password protected education mode and built in web server enable viewing and control during lab sessions, further enhancing utility in educational settings.”

A pay-for bundle (RTB2-PK1) adds frequency response analysis, and triggering and decoding for I²C, SPI, UART, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, CAN and LIN.
