DESCRIPTION:
The Rohde & Schwarz RTC1002 configured with the RTC-B221 option extends the RTC1000 platform to 100 MHz bandwidth, providing a highly capable bench-top measurement solution for electronics development, education, manufacturing, maintenance, and service environments. By integrating multiple instruments into a single compact platform, the RTC1002 reduces bench space requirements while providing a broad range of measurement and analysis capabilities.
The oscilloscope features two analog input channels with a maximum real-time sampling rate of 2 GSa/s and memory depth of up to 2 Mpoints. The 100 MHz bandwidth configuration is ideally suited for microcontroller development, embedded systems, power supply design, industrial electronics, serial communications analysis, sensor interfaces, and general-purpose electronic troubleshooting.
Fast waveform acquisition rates exceeding 10,000 waveforms per second improve visibility of intermittent faults and transient events, while advanced triggering functions enable reliable capture of complex signal conditions. Automatic measurements, cursor analysis, mathematical functions, mask testing, and FFT analysis provide comprehensive signal investigation tools for both educational and professional users.
A key advantage of the RTC1000 family is its integrated multi-instrument architecture. In addition to oscilloscope functionality, the RTC1002 includes FFT spectrum analysis, digital voltmeter operation, waveform generation, pattern generation, frequency measurement functions, and component testing capability. These integrated tools allow engineers and technicians to perform a wide range of test and troubleshooting tasks without requiring additional bench instruments.
The optional mixed-signal upgrade extends the platform with logic analysis functionality, while protocol triggering and decoding options support common serial buses including I2C, SPI, UART/RS-232, CAN, LIN, RS-422, and RS-485. This makes the RTC1002 particularly effective for embedded system design, industrial automation development, and communications interface troubleshooting.
The instrument features a responsive 6.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display supported by dedicated front-panel controls and rotary encoders. Its compact fanless architecture ensures quiet operation and long-term reliability, making it suitable for classrooms, laboratories, production environments, repair facilities, and service centres.
The RTC1002 + RTC-B221 configuration delivers an excellent balance of bandwidth, functionality, and affordability for engineers requiring professional measurement capability in a compact and versatile bench-top platform.
