Ext Trigger In
The BNC connector for external trigger input is used to control the measurement
by an external signal. The input impedance can be selected in the trigger configu-
ration, the values are 50
Ω
and 1
M
Ω
. The trigger level can be set from -5
V to
5
V. The maximum input voltage is 30
V
RMS at 1
M
Ω
input impedance and
7
V
RMS at 50
Ω
input impedance.
Trigger Out
The BNC 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
RTO6 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
M
Ω
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 the "Trigger out" action for the trigger or
test. You can adjust polarity and length of the pulse. The default is a positive
pulse of 100
ns. The delay is 800
ns.
Mixed signal option R&S RTO6-B1 / digital extension port R&S RTO6-B1E
The mixed signal option R&S
RTO6-B1 provides logic analizer functionality and
16 digital 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 chan-
nels each (D0 to D7 and D8 to D15), or two flat interface cables of R&S
RT-ZVC.
The digital extension port R&S
RTO6-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.
The maximum input voltage is 40 V peak at 100 k
Ω
input impedance. The maxi-
mum input frequency for a signal with the minimum input voltage swing of
500
mV
(V
pp
) is 400 MHz. For detailed specifications, refer to the data sheet.
Waveform generator option R&S RTO6-B6
The waveform generator generates various function and arbitrary waveforms,
sweeps, and parallel patterns. For detailed specifications, refer to the data sheet.
