●
XY-waveforms:
Four XY-waveforms can be created. Each XY-waveform is built from the voltage
values of two source waveforms.
●
Digital waveforms:
The Mixed Signal Option R&S RTO-B1 provides 16 digital channels grouped in two
logic probes (pods) with 8 channels each.
Waveform handling
With R&S RTO, a large number of waveforms can be used for signal analysis. To han-
dle this multitude while keeping track of it, the R&S RTO provides intelligent support:
●
The color system helps to distinguish the waveforms. The color of the vertical
rotary knobs indicates the signal that is focused (selected). The color of each
waveform can be changed, the color of its signal icon and of the illuminated keys is
adjusted to the new color. Alternatively, a color table can be assigned to a wave-
form. Settings: DISPLAY > "Signal Colors / Persistence" tab.
●
Waveforms can be minimized to signal icons showing a small real-time signal view.
Thus, more space in the diagram area is available without switching waveforms off.
●
Diagrams are displayed on tabs – you can arrange them side by side or one above
the other. To change the diagram name, touch and hold the tab name. The on-
screen keyboard opens to enter the new name.
●
The Rohde & Schwarz SmartGrid function helps to arrange the diagrams when
dragging a signal icon to the diagram area.
Waveform states
Depending on its place on the screen and the effect of settings, a waveform has one of
the following states:
●
Off
●
Active: The waveform is shown in a diagram
●
Selected: One of the active waveforms that has the focus. In each diagram, one of
the assigned waveforms is selected – it appears "on top" in the diagram, and the
grid labels have the color of the selected waveform. Some of the toolbar functions,
like cursor and histogram measurements are performed on the selected waveform.
All waveform-specific settings are applied to the selected waveform of the selected
diagram. The vertical POSITION and SCALE knobs, and the SIGNAL OFF key are
illuminated with the color of the selected waveform.
In figure 5-1, "Ch1Wfm1" is the selected waveform: The frames of the diagram and
the signal icon are highlighted.
●
Minimized: The waveform is shown as real-time signal view in its signal icon
To switch a waveform on
A channel waveform is activated as soon as you connect the probe. You can switch it
on and off according to your needs.
► Choose one of the following ways:
● Press the channel key.
● In the "Vertical" dialog box, tap the "Enable" icon of the waveform.
