The new R&S RTB 2 is an evolution of the R&S RTB2000, which was the first entry-level oscilloscope to offer touchscreen operation and 10-bit vertical resolution. The R&S RTB 2 offers additional features and enhanced performance in a new color scheme.
Enhanced Portfolio of Entry-Level Oscilloscopes
Rohde & Schwarz enhances its portfolio of entry-level oscilloscopes with the R&S RTB 2, the successor to the popular R&S RTB2000 oscilloscope.
In 2017, the R&S RTB2000 set a new standard in its class with features such as:
- Touchscreen operation.
- 10-bit vertical resolution—capabilities previously only available in higher-end instruments.
Now, the R&S RTB 2 continues this legacy, offering additional features and enhanced performance in a new color scheme.
Important Updates
The R&S RTB 2 introduces several updates that enhance functionality and versatility:
- Integrated Arbitrary Waveform Generator
