When you power up the instrument, be sure to comply with the warm-up phase
specified in the data sheet before you start measurements.
USB
T
wo USB type A connectors that comply with standard USB 3.0. They are used to
connect devices like keyboard, mouse, printer, and flash drive to store and reload
instrument settings and measurement data.
Note: Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can affect the measurement results. To
avoid any impact, do not use USB connecting cables exceeding 1 m.
LAN
8-pin RJ-45 connector used to connect the instrument to a Local Area Network
(LAN). It supports up to 1000 Mbit/s (10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet).
MONITOR (DVI-D)
Digital connector for an external monitor or projector
. The monitor shows the com-
plete content of the instrument's screen.
TRIGGER OUTPUT
The SMA connector for external trigger output is used to provide the internal trig-
ger signal of the oscilloscope to trigger other instruments for synchronized mea-
surements.
When a trigger occurs, the R&S RTE creates a pulse of 5 V with a source impe-
dance of 50 Ω and delivers it to the external trigger output. The instrument can
also send the pulse on mask test violation or violation of measurement limits and
margins.
If the connector is terminated with 50 Ω, the signal level is 2.5 V (50 mA). With
1 MΩ termination, the level is 5 V. A short-circuit of the connector to ground cre-
ates current of 100 mA.
To enable the trigger out signal, select "Trigger" menu > "Ctrl/Action". Here you
also adjust polarity, delay, and length of the pulse. The default is a positive pulse
of 100 ns. The minimum delay is 800 ns.
REF IN/OUT
BNC female connector for input or output of reference signals. The input or output
direction is set in
"Horizontal" menu > "Reference clock".
The input frequency range is 10 MHz. The input impedance is 50 Ω.
The nominal output frequency is 10 MHz, the impedance is 50 Ω. For detailed
specifications, refer to the data sheet.
