EXT TRIGGER INPUT
The female connector for external trigger input is used to control the measurement with
an external signal. The input impedance is 1
M
Ω
. The trigger level can be set from -5
V
to 5
V. The maximum input voltage is 150
V
peak.
TRIGGER OUPUT
The BNC connector for external trigger ouput is used to provide the internal trigger sig-
nal of the oscilloscope to trigger other instruments for synchronized measurements.
When a trigger occurs, the R&S
RTM creates a pulse of 5
V with a source impedance
of 50
Ω
and delivers it to the external trigger output.
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 creates current
of 100
mA.
By default, the trigger output is off. To enable the trigger out signal, select SETUP >
"Trigger Output" > "Output". Here you can adjust also the polarity and the length of the
pulse. The default is a positive pulse of 1
μ
s.
GBIP Interface (Option RTM-B10)
Interface for remote control with GBIP. The option replaces the LAN / USB type B inter-
face module on the rear panel. Thus, remote control is possible either with LAN con-
nection, or with GBIP.
3.3 Right Panel
At the right side of the instrument you find the connectors for digital probes, POD 1 and
POD 2. The hardware module and digital probe come with the Mixed Signal Option
R&S
RTM-B1. The module provides connectors for two logical probes with 8 digital
channels each (D0 to D7 and D8 to D15).
The maximum input voltage is 40 V peak at 100 kΩ input impedance. The maximum
input frequency for a signal with the minimum input voltage swing of 500 mV (V
pp
) is
400 MHz.
