Trying Out the Instrument
This chapter introduces the most important functions and settings of the
R&S
RTE step by step. The complete description of the functionality and its
usage is given in the "User Manual". Basic instrument operation is described in
Chapter 5, "Operating the Instrument"
Prerequisites
●
The instrument is set up, connected to the mains system, and started up as
described in
Chapter 2, "Preparing for Use"
●
A probe is available.
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:

Displaying a Basic Signal
Displaying the input from a signal channel is simple and straightforward. Further-
more, 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.
