Rohde & Schwarz presents the R&S RTB 2, a new entry level oscilloscope with class leading specifications

Rohde & Schwarz upgrades its oscilloscope portfolio with the new R&S RTB 2, an evolution of the R&S RTB2000, which was the first entry level oscilloscope to offer touchscreen operation and 10 bit vertical resolution. The R&S RTB 2 expands on these class leading features with an integrated arbitrary waveform generator and class-leading 160 Mpts segmented memory.

Rohde & Schwarz enhances its portfolio of entry level oscilloscopes with the R&S®RTB 2, the successor to the popular R&S®RTB2000 oscilloscope. In 2017, the R&S RTB2000 set a new standard in its class, with features such as touchscreen operation and 10 bit vertical resolution – capabilities previously only available in higher end instruments. Now, the R&S RTB 2 continues this legacy, offering additional features and enhanced performance in a new color scheme.

With the R&S RTB 2, Rohde & Schwarz introduces several important updates that further enhance the instrument’s functionality and versatility. First, the oscilloscope now includes an integrated arbitrary waveform generator. This addition allows users to simulate circuit stimuli or emulate missing components. The waveform generator is capable of generating signals up to 25 MHz and pattern speeds up to 50 Mbits/s. It supports imported waveforms from CSV files or oscilloscope captures, with the ability to add noise for simulating real world conditions. It also includes predefined patterns for I2C, SPI, UART and CAN/LIN protocols, providing users with the flexibility to select counters or manually input patterns (more info).
