Rohde Schwarz RTB2K-204 Digital Oscilloscope
The Rohde Schwarz RTB2K-204 is a four channel 200 MHz digital oscilloscope from the RTB2000 series. It is an RTB2004 with the RTB-B242 200 MHz bandwidth upgrade. Built around what Rohde & Schwarz calls the Power of Ten it combines a 10-bit A/D converter, deep memory, and a 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen which makes it a strong affordable bench scope for embedded design, education, and production work. It’s the step up from the 100 MHz RTB2K-104.
Key Features
- 200 MHz bandwidth, 4 analog channels: 1 MΩ inputs with 1 mV/div minimum vertical sensitivity and a 1.75 ns rise time
- 10-bit ADC: four times the vertical resolution of typical 8-bit scopes, so signal detail is clearer, and a high resolution mode can extend it further
- Fast sampling and deep memory: 2.5 GSa/s with interleaving (1.25 GSa/s per channel) and 10 Mpts per channel as standard or 20 Mpts interleaved
- 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen: a 1280 × 800 pixel display with smartphone style gestures
- Fast waveform update rate: up to 50,000 waveforms per second to catch rare glitches
- Analysis tools as standard: FFT, math functions, history and segmented memory, cursors, and automatic measurements
- Integrated extra instruments: waveform generator, pattern generator, digital voltmeter, and frequency counter
- Upgradeable: optional mixed signal (MSO) 16 digital channels serial protocol decode and trigger options, and bandwidth upgrades up to 300 MHz with many upgrades enabled by keycode
- Connectivity: USB and LAN with remote operation through a browser
- What comes in the box: a passive probe for each channel (R&S RT-ZP03) power cord, and a manual
Typical Applications
- Embedded systems design and debugging
- Electronics education and university labs
- Production test and service departments
- Power electronics and general purpose bench measurement
- Mixed signal and serial bus debugging (with options fitted)
Why Choose It
The Rohde Schwarz RTB2K-204 offers finer vertical resolution, deeper memory, and a more modern touch interface than most scopes in its class along with an integrated generator, voltmeter, and counter. Because bandwidth and capabilities can be upgraded later it can grow with your needs.
