Before connecting an external monitor to the DVI connector, ensure that the monitor
and the R&S RTO are connected to a ground contact. Otherwise the instrument may
be damaged.
After connecting an additional monitor or projector to the instrument, configure it for
usage. The relevant settings are Windows settings but you can configure the displays
directly in the instrument setup.
1. Check the input type of the monitor or projector and make sure to select the correct
cable. To use a VGA monitor, an active DVI-D to VGA adapter is required.
2. Press the SETUP key.
3. Select the "System" tab.
4. Tap "Display / Monitors".
5. To show the instrument's display content only on the external monitor, select "Pro-
jector only".
To show the instrument's display content on both the oscilloscope and the external
monitor, select "Duplicate".
The touchscreen of the R&S RTO has a screen resolution of 1024x768 pixel. Most
external monitors have a higher screen resolution. If the screen resolution of the moni-
tor is set higher than the instrument's resolution, the application window uses a
1024x768 area of the monitor display. For full screen display, adjust the monitor's
screen resolution using "Additional display settings".
