USB Device
USB 3.0 interface of type B (device USB), to be used for remote control of the instru-
ment.
USB
Four USB type A connectors. Two connectors comply with standard USB 3.1 gen 1,
and the other two with standard USB 2.0. They are used to connect devices like key-
board, mouse 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).
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 46.
DisplayPort
DisplayPort connector for an external monitor or projector. It supports DisplayPort ver-
sion 1.1a.
GBIP
Connector with GBIP interface. For detailed specifications, refer to the data sheet.
Aux Out
Output of the internal calibration signal, if the signal is configured to external destina-
tion.
Trigger Out
The BNC 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 RTP 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.
