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
RTO 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 "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.
Mixed signal option R&S RTO-B1 / digital extension port R&S RTO-B1E
The mixed signal option R&S
RTO-B1 provides logic analizer functionality and 16
digital channels. It also can connect the R&S
RT-ZVC multi-channel power probe.
The connectors can be 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
RTO-B1E provides the connectors for the
R&S
RT-ZVC multi-channel power probe without MSO. The connectors can be
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.
OCXO option R&S RTO-B4
Optional [Ref In] (left) and [Ref Out] (right) connectors coming with option
R&S
RTO-B4 OCXO 10
MHz.
The input frequency ranges from 1
MHz to 20
MHz in 1
MHz steps. The input
impedance is 50
Ω
.
The output frequency of the OCXO is 10
MHz, the impedance is 50
Ω
. For
