USB
Two USB type A connectors that comply with standard USB 3.0. They are used to con-
nect devices like keyboard, mouse and flash drive to store and reload instrument set-
tings 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 complete
content of the instrument's screen.
See also: Chapter 3.1.8.2, "Connecting an external monitor", on page 59.
TRIGGER OUTPUT
The SMA connector for external trigger output is used to provide the internal trigger
signal of the oscilloscope to trigger other instruments for synchronized measurements.
When a trigger occurs, the R&S RTE creates a pulse of 5 V with a source impedance
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 creates 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 specifi-
cations, refer to the data sheet.
Mixed signal option R&S RTE-B1 / digital extension port R&S RTE-B1E
The mixed signal option R&S RTE-B1 provides logic analizer functionality and 16 digi-
tal channels. It also can connect the R&S RT-ZVC multi-channel power probe. The
connectors are used to connect two logical probes with 8 digital channels each (D0 to
D7 and D8 to D15), or two flat interface cables of R&S RT-ZVC.
The digital extension port R&S RTE-B1E provides the connectors for the R&S RT-ZVC
multi-channel power probe without MSO. The connectors are used to connect two flat
interface cables of R&S RT-ZVC.
One of the options can be installed in the option slot at the rear panel.
