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:

3.3.1 Displaying a basic signal
Displaying the input from a signal channel is simple and straightforward. Furthermore,
you get to know some basic trigger functions. The R&S RTE 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].
Connect the probe's ground connector to the right compensation pin
, and the tip
to the left pin .
The instrument recognizes the probe, and a signal is displayed in the diagram.
3. Press the [AUTOSET] key on the front panel (in the [SETUP] area on the left).
Autoset finds appropriate horizontal and vertical scales and trigger conditions to
present a stable square waveform. The trigger is set to edge trigger on rising edge
with auto trigger mode.
