rying Out the Instrument
This chapter introduces the most important functions and settings of the
R&S RTE step by step. The complete description of the functionality and its
usage is given in the "User Manual". Basic instrument usage is described in
Chapter 6, "Operating the Instrument", on page 72.
Prerequisites
●
The instrument is connected to the mains system, and started up as described
in Chapter 3, "Preparing for Use", on page 10.
●
A probe is available.
For these first measurements, you use the internal calibration signal, so you do
not need any additional signal source or instruments. Try out the following:
● Displaying a Basic Signal................................................................................37
● Acquiring Data.................................................................................................39
● Changing the Waveform Scaling and Position................................................ 40
● Zooming into the Display.................................................................................46
● Displaying the Waveform History.................................................................... 48
● Showing Basic Measurement Results.............................................................50
● Performing a Basic FFT Analysis....................................................................58
● Performing Mathematical Calculations............................................................60
● Performing a Search....................................................................................... 62
● Performing a Mask Test.................................................................................. 63
● Printing and Saving Screenshots.................................................................... 66
● Saving Data.....................................................................................................69
5.1 Displaying a Basic Signal
Displaying the input from a signal channel is simple and straightforward. Further-
more, you get to know some basic trigger functions. The R&S R
TE provides wide-
ranging trigger functions to find various signal anomalies, which are described in
the instrument help and in the "User Manual".
1. Press the [PRESET] key on the front panel (in the [SETUP] area on the left).
2. Connect the probe to the input connector [CH 1].
