Осциллографы. Как это работает? «Зональный запуск на осциллографе R&S RTO6»
Рассматриваем зональный запуск во временной и частотной областях. Нарисуйте формы на осциллограмме, чтобы обеспечить графическое разделение событий во временной и частотной областях с помощью функции зонального запуска осциллографов R&S®RTO6. Максимально, пользователь может задать до восьми зон. Зоны могут логически объединяться по нескольким каналам или с помощью математических функций. В дополнение к основному условию запуска зоны активируют систему синхронизации, когда исследуемый сигнал или пересекает, или не пересекает зону, которая может быть осциллограммой в реальном масштабе времени или спектром сигнала. Например, эта мощная, но простая в использовании функция позволяет разделять последовательности чтения/записи из памяти ИУ или же искать и изолировать гармоники в спектре сигнала. Подробнее об этом в данном ролике.

Осциллографы. Как это работает? Учёт параметров измерительного тракта. Proven Probe/Cable
Материал является продолжением видео про de-embedding. В ролике раскрыт и показан механизм измерения характеристик кабелей и пробников, создающих измерительную трассу непосредственно на осциллографе с использованием модуля импульсного генератора RTP-B7. Данная техника называется Proven Probe / Proven Cable или Доказанный пробник / Доказанный кабель. Таким образом нет необходимости в применении дополнительного оборудования, например, векторного анализатора цепей т.к. осциллограф может быть оснащен всеми необходимыми инструментами.
Осциллографы. Как это работает? Учёт параметров измерительного тракта. De-embedding
В очередном видео из цикла «Осциллографы. Как это Работает?» вашему вниманию будет представлена очень важная и полезная функция цифровых осциллографов R&S, которая позволяет производить учёт и компенсацию параметров измерительного тракта. Данный аспект очень важен при тестировании высокоскоростных протоколов, РЧ измерениях, относительных измерениях между каналами осциллографа, а также при проведении тестировании на соответствие параметрам стандарта передачи данных. Т.к. измерительная линия (кабельная сборка, пробники, адаптеры), соединяющая ваше тестируемое устройство и осциллограф, может иметь различные неоднородности и затухание, это в значительной степени может повлиять на целостность исследуемого сигнала, что приведёт к существенным искажениям получаемых результатов. Поэтому параметры линии должны быть учтены и скомпенсированы. Более того, в соответствии с описанием различных стандартов передачи данных, при проведении их тестирования вся оснастка, адаптеры и интерпозеры должны быть также учтены (например USB 3.x, PCI-Ex, HDMI и др.). Осциллографы R&S позволяют как использовать внешние s-параметры, так и проводить измерения непосредственно на осциллографе с использованием модуля импульсного генератора RTx-B7. Функция компенсация параметров тракта имеет аппаратную поддержку, что позволяет производить измерения без потери в скорости захвата осциллографа и говорить об анализе целостности сигнала в реальном масштабе времени. Обо всём этом в нашем видео.

Осциллографические пробники (щупы)
В данном ролике рассказывается о такой важной теме в осциллографии, как измерительные пробники. Мы обсудим их назначение, разновидности и различия, а также критерии выбора.
Пробник-это устройство, которое обеспечивает электрическое соединение контрольной точки со входом осциллографа.
Таким образом, пробник является неотъемлемой частью измерительного тракта осциллографа и его характеристики крайне важны для достоверности измерений. По этой причине к выбору пробников и вопросу их корректного использования необходимо подходить также тщательно, как и к выбору основного измерительного устройства-осциллографа.
В рамках этого видео будут рассмотрены только Пассивные пробники напряжения.
Наши инженеры расскажут и покажут, как пассивные пробники влияют на измерительный тракт осциллографа, чем чреваты превышение рабочих характеристик пробников, а также как взаимосвязаны характеристики пробника и достоверность измерений, которые они обеспечивают.

General Information Regarding the CE Marking
General Information Regarding the CE Marking
ROHDE & SCHWARZ measuring instruments comply with regulations of the
EMC Directive. ROHDE & SCHWARZ is basing the conformity assessment on prevailing generic and product standards. In cases with potentially different thresholds, ROHDE & SCHWARZ instruments apply more rigorous test conditions. Thresholds for business and commercial sectors as well as small business are applicable for interference emission (class 1B). As to the interference immunity, the standard thresholds for the industrial sector apply. Measurement and data lines connected to the measuring instrument significantly affect compliance with specified thresholds. Depending on the respective application, utilized lines may differ. In regards to interference emission and immunity during measurements, it is critical that the following terms and conditions are observed:
1. Data Cables
It is imperative to only use properly shielded cables when connecting measuring instruments and interfaces to external devices (printers, computers, etc.). Unless the manual prescribes an even shorter maximum cable length, data cables (input/output, signal/control) may not exceed a length of 3m and may not be used outside of buildings. If the instrument interface includes multiple ports for interface cables, only one cable at a time may be connected. Generally, interconnections require double-shielded connecting cables. The double-shielded cable HZ72 (available at ROHDE & SCHWARZ) is well suitable as IEEE bus cable.
2. Signal Cables
In general, measuring cables for the transmission of signals between measuring point and measuring instrument should be kept as short as possible.
Unless an even shorter maximum cable length is prescribed, signal cables
(input/output, signal/control) may not exceed a length of 1m and may not be used outside of buildings. All signal cables must be shielded (coaxial cable
RG58/U). It is important to ensure proper ground connection. Signal generators require the use of double-shielded coaxial cables (RG223/U, RG214/U).
3. Impact on Measuring Instruments
If strong high-frequency electric and magnetic fields are present, it may occur despite diligent measurement setup that unwanted signal units are injected into the measuring instrument via connected measuring cables. This will not damage the ROHDE & SCHWARZ measuring instrument or put it out of operation. In some cases, these circumstances may cause the measuring value to slightly exceed specifications.
4. RF immunity of oscilloscopes.
4.1 Electromagnetic RF field
The influence of electric and magnetic RF fields may become visible (e.g. RF superimposed), if the field intensity is high. In most cases the coupling into the oscilloscope takes place via the device under test, mains/line supply,

This is followed by extensive functional quality testing to examine all operating modes and to guarantee compliance with the specified technical data. The testing is performed with testing equipment that is calibrated to national standards.
The statutory warranty provisions shall be governed by the laws of the country in which the ROHDE & SCHWARZ
The product may only be opened by authorized and qualified personnel. Before any work is performed on the product or before the product is opened, it must be disconnected from the AC supply network. Otherwise, personnel will be exposed to the risk of an electric shock.
1 .9 Measuring Category
This oscilloscope is designed for measurements on circuits that are only indirectly connected to the mains or not connected at all. The instrument is not rated for any measurement category. Make sure the entry voltage of the analog channels CH1/CH2 does not exceed 200 V (peak value),150 V
RMS
at 1 MΩ input impedance. The entry voltage of the external trigger input (TRIG. EXT.) does not exceeded 100 V (peak value).The maximum value allowed for transient overvoltages is 200 V (peak value). To ensure compliance, it is necessary to only use probes that have been manufactured and tested in accordance with DIN EN
61010-031in order to prevent transient overvoltages at the measurement input. The auxilary output (AUX OUT) is a multi-purpose output with the function as component tester, trigger output, pass/fail and function generator. When performing measurements in category II, III or IV circuits, it is mandatory to insert a probe that reduces the voltage so that no transient overvoltages will be applied to the instrument. Direct measurements (without galvanic isolation) to category II, III or IV circuits are prohibited. The measuring
5
Important Notes
circuits are considered not connected to the mains if an isolation transformer in compliance with class II is used.
It is also possible to perform measurements on the mains if appropriate transformers (e.g. current connectors) are used that are in compliance with safety class II. The measurement category (for which the manufacturer specified the required transformer) must be observed.
1. Cells must not be taken apart or crushed.
2. Cells or batteries must not be exposed to heat or fire.
Storage in direct sunlight must be avoided. Keep cells and batteries clean and dry. Clean soiled connectors using a dry, clean cloth.
The measurement categories refer to transients from the power system. Transients are short, very fast (steep) current and voltage variations which may occur periodically and nonperiodically. The level of potential transients increases as the distance to the source of the low voltage installation decreases.
3. Cells or batteries must not be short-circuited. Cells or batteries must not be stored in a box or in a drawer where they can short-circuit each other, or where they can be short-circuited by other conductive materials.
Cells and batteries must not be removed from their original packaging until they are ready to be used.
❙Measurement CAT IV: Measurements at the source of the low voltage installations (e.g. meters)
❙Measurement CAT III: Measurements in building installations (e.g. power distribution installations, power switches, firmly installed sockets, firmly installed engines etc.).
❙Measurement CAT II: Measurements on circuits electronically directly connected to the mains (e.g. household appliances, power tools, etc.)
❙0 (instruments without measured measurement category): Other circuits that are not connected directly to the mains.
4. Keep cells and batteries out of the hands of children. If a cell or a battery has been swallowed, seek medical aid immediately.
5. Cells and batteries must not be exposed to any mechanical shocks that are stronger than permitted.
6. If a cell develops a leak, the fluid must not be allowed to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact occurs, wash the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical aid.
7. Improperly replacing or charging cells or batteries can cause explosions. Replace cells or batteries only with the identical type in order to ensure the safety of the product.
1 .10 Mains voltage
The instrument has a wide range power supply from 100 to 240 V (±10%), 50 or 60 Hz. There is hence no line voltage selector. The line fuse is accessible on the rear panel and part of the line input connector. Prior to exchanging a fuse, the line cord must be pulled out. Exchange is only allowed if the fuse holder is undamaged. It can be taken out using a screwdriver put into the slot. The fuse can be pushed out of its holder and must be exchanged with the identical type (type informations below). The holder with the new fuse can then be pushed back in place against the spring. It is prohibited to ”repair“ blown fuses or to bridge the fuse. Any damages incurred by such measures will void the warranty.
8. Cells and batteries must be recycled and kept separate from residual waste. Rechargeable batteries and normal batteries that contain lead, mercury or cadmium are hazardous waste. Observe the national regulations regarding waste disposal and recycling.
1 .12 Product Disposal

2 .4 General Operating Concept
The general operating concept is based on a few key principals, recurring with various settings and functions:
❙Keys that do not open a soft menu (e.g. SCROLL BAR) activate a specific function; pressing this key a second time will deactivate this function.
❙Keys that open a soft menu when pressed once will close the soft menu when pressed a second time.
❙Depending on the requirements, the universal knob in the
CURSOR/MENU section is designed to either select a numeric value or to navigate through submenus.
❙The MENU OFF key below the soft menu keys closes the current menu or switches to the next higher level.
❙Pressing the appropriate key will activate a deactivated channel. If a channel was already activated, selecting another channel will change operation to the channel whose key was pressed (its LED lights up).
❙If cursor measurements are activated, the COARSE/FINE key will select the cursor with the activated universal knob in the CURSOR/MENU section. This key is used to select or confirm input in all menus for alphanumerical input and for the file manager.
The soft menus include some frequently used navigation elements as described below. You can select the respective element by pressing the corresponding soft menu key, and the element will be marked in blue. Alternatively, you can press the soft menu key to toggle between function options. For functions that need to be activated and require value selections, you may toggle between OFF and the set value (e.g. TIME OFFSET function). The round arrow in the menu window indicates that the value is to be set by means of the universal knob in the CURSOR/MENU control panel. If the respective function includes an additional menu level, it will be indicated by a small triangle on the bottom right of a menu item. If additional menu pages are available, you can navigate these on the same level by using the last menu item. It includes the number of menu pages on this level as well as the current page number.
You can advance to the next page by pressing the appropriate soft menu key. Once the last page was listed, the display will loop back to the first page.

HZ154 probe is included in delivery which offers 10:1 /
1:1 switchable attenuation. The attenuation setting has to be set manually in the channel menu. The R&S®HMO1202 series is delivered with the RT-ZP03 probe.
You can set the coupling using the short menu or channel menu. Simply press the respective soft menu key to set the coupling and the graphic inversion of the input channel. The menu applies to the corresponding active channel.
The illuminated channel key indicates which channel is active. You can switch between channels by pressing the respective channel key.
4 .2 Sensitivity, Y Positioning and Offset
You can select the sensitivity of the analog inputs by using the knob in the VERTICAL section (VOLTS/DIV) in 1-2-5 steps of 1mV/div to 10V/div. The knob is associated with the active channel (push the respective channel key to activate the desired channel). Pushing the knob once will switch to a continuous sensitivity setting. You can use the smaller knob in the VERTICAL section (POSITION) to determine vertical settings for the active channel. Press the MENU key to access advanced options. On page 2|2 of this menu, you can add a DESKEW. To activate this offset push the corresponding soft menu key. You can set the offset value using the universal knob or the KEYPAD key in the CURSOR/MENU section. Each analog channel may be shifted in time by ±32 ns. This deskew setting is used to compensate different signal delays when using different cable lengths or probes.
Fig. 4.1: Short menu for vertical settings
4 .1 Coupling
The analog channels have an input impedance of 1 MΩ or
50Ω with the R&S®HMO1202 series. The R&S®HMO1002 series have only an input impedance of 1 MΩ.
.
Do not connect the 50 Ω inputs to effective voltage higher than 5V.
The 50 Ω input impedance should only be selected if the signal source is 50 Ω, e.g. a generator with a 50 Ω output where the termination within the scope is to be used. In all other cases 1 MΩ is to be selected. The user determines if DC coupling or AC coupling is to be used. With DC coupling, the DC voltage of the signal will be displayed.
With AC coupling, an input filter of 2 Hz suppresses the display of DC voltage. Signals of up to 200 V (peak value) may be connected directly to 1 MΩ inputs. Higher voltages can be measured with external probes (up to 40 kV peak voltage). This should only be used with DC coupling. For all general applications, the probes supplied with the ins-
4 .3 Bandwidth Limit and Signal Inversion
Both the short menu and the advanced menu enable you to insert an analog 20 MHz low pass filter to the signal path. This will eliminate all higher frequency interference.
To activate the filter in the short menu, press the respective soft menu key BWL. In the advanced channel MENU the bandwidth limit will be set with the soft menu key
BANDWIDTH. Once the filter is activated, the menu item will be marked in blue, and the identifier BW will be displayed in the channel information window. Signal inversion is available in the short menu and the advanced menu in the VERTICAL section. An activated filter will be indicated in blue in the menu and by a bar above the channel name in the channel name window.
4 .4 Probe Attenuation and Unit Selection
(Volt/Ampere)
The R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 series does not includes an integrated probe attenuation detection. You can manually set the attenuation factor in the advanced
MENU in the VERTICAL section. This is possible with the predefined steps x1, x10, x100, x1000 or, using the universal knob or the KEYPAD key, as defined by the user from x0.001 to x1000. In this menu, you can also select the unit
Ampere in case you are using a current probe. If you select the unit Ampere (A), the menu shows the most common factors (1V/A, 100mV/A, 10mV/A, 1mV/A). You may also

this range and crosses the trigger level thereby, no trigger event occurs. With FIND LEVEL will automatically analyze the signal and find an approriate level.
4 .4 .1 Probe Compensation
Make sure to align passive probes prior to their first use, after an extended measurement break, or when switching instruments or channels.
You can perform the probe compensation via compensation wizard or manually. To open the wizard, press the
SETUP key in the GENERAL section, and then press the soft menu key PROBE COMP. This compensation wizard will guide you through all the important points of the probe compensation. After connecting a probe, you can select the respective analog channel via soft menu key CHAN-
NEL 1 (CH1) or CHANNEL 2 (CH2). The enclosed probe stylus allows you to set the probe trimmers to an optimal square wave shape.
4 .6 Naming a Channel
The last entry NAME in the VERTICAL menu opens a submenu which allows you to enter a channel name. This name will be displayed on the grid and the printout. Your first option is to switch the display on (ON) or off (OFF).
The next option includes the menu item LIBRARY. After selecting this option, you can use the universal knob to choose a name from several suggestions. The EDIT LA-
BEL key allows you to enter a completely new name or to customize the suggested name. You may enter up to 8 characters. Use the ACCEPT key to confirm the name in the editor. It will then be shown in the display. The name is assigned to that specific signal and will move alongside any set offset value.
Fig. 4.2: Probe compensation wizard
The compensation is performed at 1 kHz (LF) and 1 MHz
(HF). Use the soft menu FULL SCREEN to hide the wizard help entries. Select NEXT STEP to toggle the wizard into the 1MHz HF compensation. If multiple probes are connected, you can switch the channel via soft menu key
NEXT CHANNEL. Use the EXIT option to exit the wizard after a successful probe compensation. If you would like to perform a manual compensation without the compensation wizard, choose the UTIL menu in the Vertical control panel, then select the soft menu key PATTERN GEN. in the soft menu SQUARE WAVE (see chapter 10.2.1).
4 .5 Threshold Setting
On page 2|2 in the advanced MENU in the VERTICAL section you can set a THRESHOLD. This threshold defines the level to detect a High or a Low if analog channels are used as source for the serial bus analysis or logic trigger. After selecting this soft menu item, you can set the threshold using the universal knob or the KEYPAD key.
With the soft menu key HYSTERESIS a range around the trigger threshold level can be set. If the signal jitters inside

5 .3 Acquisition modes
The acquisition modes are selected by pressing the AC-
QUIRE
44
key. This opens a display menu which offers the following acquisition modes:
In the HORIZONTAL system section, users can select time base settings for capturing, trigger time position, zoom functions, acquisition modes, marker functions and search functions. Knobs allow you to set time base and trigger time position. A menu enables you to select the desired acquisition mode. A separate key is available to activate the zoom.
Use the arrow keys
37 and the SET/CLR key to select marker functions.
5 .3 .1 Roll
This acquisition mode is intended specifically for very slow signals, with the untriggered signal „rolling“ across the screen from right to left (requires signals slower than
200 kHz). The R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 series uses a ring buffer to store the signal values in roll mode.
Simply put, the instrument writes the first division to the first storage space, the second division to the second storage space, etc. Once the storage is full, the instrument overwrites the first storage space with the data of the most recent measurement value. This creates a „ring“ or cycle run, similar to a ticker.
The ZOOM feature is not available in the roll mode (also refer to
Chap. 5.5 ZOOM Function)
5 .1 Acquisition modes RUN and STOP
The acquisition mode can be selected with the RUN/
STOP key
5 .2 Time Base Settings
The TIME/DIV knob in the HORIZONTAL section of the control panel is used to change the time base. The current time base setting (e.g.”TB: 500 ns”) is displayed in the upper right above the graticule. To the right of the display you can see the trigger time position in relation to the default setting. The default setting shows the trigger time position in the center of the display, with 50% of the signal display before and 50% after this trigger position. The X-POSITION knob
41
allows continuous adjustment of the x position.
The maximum values allowed depend on the time base setting.
39
In Run mode signals are shown on the screen according to the selected trigger conditions, discarding previously captured signals with each new capture. If you wish to analyze a captured signal on the screen without overwriting it, capture must be stopped by pressing the
RUN/STOP key. While in STOP mode, you may not capture new signals and the key is illuminated in red.
Pushing the SET/CLR key resets the value to its reference position as long as the marker or search functions have not been applied. The arrow keys
37
allow you to change the X position by a fixed amount of 5 divisions in the respective direction. The MENU
42
key opens a menu to determine the function for the arrow keys
37
and the
SET/CLR key. As described above, these keys allow you to set the X position. Alternatively, you can use them to mark events within the signal with the option to navigate between up to 8 markers. In the submenu NUMERIC INPUT you can enter any horizontal position directly. This menu also allows you to activate and set search functions. You can also set the TIME REFERENCE (position for the trigger reference point, from -6 divisions to +6 divisions with 0 being the center and default setting).
5 .3 .2 Arithmetic
The soft menu ARITHMETIC offers following menu items:
❙REFRESH:
This mode allows the capture and display of current signals.
❙ ENVELOPE:
In this mode, the display includes the normal capture of each signal and the maximum as well as the minimum values of each capture. Over time, this creates an envelope surrounding the signal.
❙
AVERAGE:
In this mode, you can use the universal knob in the
Cursor/Menu section of the control panel to set the number of signal periods for averaging, available in powers of 2 from 2 to 1024 (requires repetitive signals).
❙
SMOOTH:
The function SMOOTH is used to calculate the mean value from several adjacent sampling points. The result is a smooth waveform. This function is used for non-perio- dic signals.
❙FILTER:
In this mode, you can activate a low pass filter with adjustable cut off frequency to suppress unwanted high frequency interferences. The cut off frequency can be set based on the sampling frequency. The minimum setting is
1/100 of the sampling frequency and the maximum value is 1/4 of the sampling rate. You can select this setting with the universal knob.
5 .3 .3 Peak Detect
This mode is used for very large time base settings to detect even short signal changes. You can also deactivate this function within the menu (OFF) or you can select the automatic switching mode (AUTO). The following conditions must be met to activate the PEAK DETECT mode:
❙Function HIGH RESOLUTION is deactivated
❙None of the serial or parallel buses are active
18
Horizontal System
During peak detection, the oscilloscope distinguishes between two types:
❙Acquisition peak detection:
Each A/D converter converts at the full sampling rate (no
Interlace mode), even if results have not been written to the acquisition memory at full sampling rate (for slow time bases, for instance). If peak detection is activated, unused converter values will be evaluated to detect minimum and maximum amplitudes. During this process, the identified minimum and maximum values including sampling interval are written to the acquisition memory. As a result, the acquisition memory stores data pairs representing the signal sequence according to the sampling interval. The smallest detectable pulse is the period of the maximum sampling rate (no Interlace mode). This describes the so-called acquisition peak detection.
❙Memory peak detection:
A hardware peak detection is not available if data is written to the acquisition memory at the ADC‘s maximum sample rate. For slow time bases and the record mode is set to AUTOMATIC or MA.WFM.RATE, not all data from the acquisition memory will display on the screen. With peak detection activated when reading out, skipped data will be used to create a minimum and maximum value.
The smallest detectable pulse is the period of the sample rate used to write to the acquisition memory. This describes the so-called memory peak detection.
If one of the peak detection modes or a combination of the two are used, the corresponding detection mode is marked with „PD“ in the upper right of the display.
5 .3 .4 High Resolution
This mode uses Boxcar Averaging via adjacent detection points (i.e. the converter runs at the maximum sampling rate) to increase the vertical resolution to up to 16 bit. You can deactivate this function within the menu (OFF) or you can select the automatic switching mode (AUTO).
5 .3 .5 Interpolation
With the soft menu item INTERPOLATION users can select Sinx/x, Linear or Sample-Hold as interpolation type to display acquired data points. The default setting is Sinx/x interpolation which is the best option for displaying analog signals. Linear interpolation (LINEAR) uses a line to connect acquired data points. SAMPLE-HOLD allows a more precise assessment of the position for the acquired data points.
5 .3 .6 Record Mode
This soft menu item provides the following functions:
5 .3 .6 .1 MAX . WFM .-RATE
This mode allows you to select the memory depth and sampling rate to obtain the maximum trigger repeat rate.
This mode allows you to select the memory depth and sampling rate to obtain the maximum trigger repeat rate.
When using the MAX. WAVEFORM RATE mode, the oscilloscope is set to display the maximum amount of captures per second in the signal window. Each column in the signal window displays a captured date. When peak detection is activated, each column displays a pair of min/max values.
The R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 series displays a signal window of 600×400 pixels (Yt without zoom). This translates into 600 data points per detection. When peak detection is activated, 600 pairs of min/max values or 1,200 data values are displayed. The memory depth corresponds to at least the displayed time window (time base x signal window grid section in horizontal direction) multiplied by the current sampling rate. The minimum value is determined by the maximum sampling rate and the maximum signal repeat rate of the oscilloscope. The displayed sampling rate corresponds to the current sampling rate divided by the amount of data skipped while reading out from the acquisition memory. If peak detection is activated, the displayed sampling rate corresponds to the current sampling rate.
Averaging several adjacent sampling rates creates a value with a higher degree of accuracy than the input data. The resulting data is called high resolution data. The process of merging multiple sampling rates to one new value only allows a sampling rate that is smaller than the maximum value. If the HIGH RESOLUTION mode is activated and the current instrument setting allows the use of the HIGH
RESOLUTION mode, the detection mode is marked with
„HR“ in the upper right of the display.
The following requirements must be met to activate the
HIGH RESOLUTION mode:
❙Sampling rate is smaller than the maximum sampling rate
(no Interlace mode)
❙Peak detection is deactivated
❙No active logic pod
❙None of the serial or parallel buses are active
By default, all functions listed above are deactivated.

the maximum amount of data. Each column in the signal window displays up to 40 detected data values (limited by processor performance). How much data is currently displayed depends on the displayed time window and the current sampling rate. If peak detection is activated, each column displays up to 20 pairs of min/max values. The memory depth always corresponds to the maximum acquisition memory. The displayed sampling rate is identical with the current sampling rate. Peak detection is used if the displayed time window contains more data than 40 * signal window columns in the acquisition memory or min/ max data in the acquisition memory.

This function is the default setting and offers the best compromise between maximum repeat rate and maximum sampling rate (selection of memory depth). Each column in the signal window displays up to 10 captured data values. How much data is currently displayed depends on the displayed time window and the current sampling rate.
When peak detection is activated, each column displays up to 5 pairs of min/max values. The memory depth is at least twice as much as the storage capacity set for the maximum repeat rate (limited by the maximum acquisition
All settings apply the identical current sampling rate
(sampling rate used to write to the acquisition memory).
In STOP mode it is also possible to change menu items.
This does not impact the current memory depth but the amount of displayed data will be adjusted. Peak detection is also activated in STOP mode (time base in microseconds). In time bases displaying each sampling point, all three settings behave identically (except used memory depth and signal update rate). Table 5.1 displays advantages and disadvantages of each setting. Finally, it needs to be mentioned that this menu replaces the adjustable memory depth, a standard for other manufacturers. An adjustable memory depth is intended to allow users to understand the relation between memory depth, time base and sampling rate and to evaluate advantages and disadvantages. With this option, the oscilloscope always captures signals with the maximum sampling rate. This allows users in STOP mode to zoom in retrospectively, even at the maximum repeat rate. It is also possible to zoom out at the maximum repeat rate if the STOP mode was run at fast time bases. If a high repeat rate can only be attained

by means of low memory depth (as is the case with other manufacturers) it is nearly impossible to zoom in retrospectively in STOP mode.
5 .4 Interlace Mode
In interlace mode, ADC and storage of two channels are connected. This doubles the sampling rate and the acquisition memory. A channel is considered active even if it has been deactivated while still serving as the trigger source. If a channel is activated, the respective LED next to the input connector is illuminated. The following conditions must be met to activate the Interlace mode:
❙No active logic pod
❙None of the serial or parallel buses are active
❙Logic trigger not active
The interlace mode will be activated automatically.
5 .5 ZOOM Function
The R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 series features a memory depth of 1 MSa resp. 2MSa. This allows the user to record long and complex signals which can be analyzed in full detail with the Zoom function. To activate this feature, press the ZOOM key
40
. The screen will be divided into two sections. The upper window displays the entire time base window whereas the lower graticule shows an enlarged section of the upper window. The enlarged signal section is marked by two blue cursors in the original signal
(upper window). If several channels are activated in Zoom mode, all displayed channels will be zoomed simultaneously by the same factor and at the identical position. Fig.
5.5 displays the Zoom window with 100 µs per division.
The signal was captured within a time window of 12ms.
The zoom area (lower grid) also displays the parameter for zoom time base whereas time is displayed above the zoom window. Z indicates the zoom time base (zoom factor) and determines the width of the zoom area displayed in the zoom window (10 divisions x scaling per division). Tz indicates the zoom time and determines the position of the zoom area.
zoom window is marked in white. The large knob in the
HORIZONTAL menu is used to change the zoom factor.
You can also press this knob. If the knob is pushed, the time base setting is highlighted in white and the zoom time base in gray. Now the knob is available to select the time base setting. This allows you to change time base settings without having to leave the zoom mode. Pressing the knob again will highlight the cursors limiting the zoom area in white, allowing you to use the knob to change the zoom area. Now you can use the small knob in the horizontal area of the control panel to move the position of the zoomed section across the entire signal. As described above, pressing the large knob enables you to set the time base but not the zoom factor. This in turn enables the small knob to move the trigger position to define the relationship of pre- and post captures/records.
The ZOOM function is not available in ROLL mode.
In the acquisition mode ROLL, it is generally not possible to zoom in on the memory because the signal values of the X axis are always captured with the maximum memory depth. The acquisition mode NORMAL always includes more samples in the memory than what can be shown in the display. That explains why in this mode you are able to zoom in on the memory. The same does not apply to the values in the Y axis (amplitude). These values apply to a specified axis and can therefore also be scaled in ROLL mode.
5 .6 Navigation Function
The X-POS. function (MENU key in the HORIZONTAL section) offers easy trigger time handling and allows it to be entered numerically. The soft menu keys allow you to set the trigger time to the minimum or the maximum value, for instance. You can use the soft menu key TIME
REFERENCE to define where in the signal window to find the trigger point value “0”. The signal is scaled by this reference point. You can use the universal knob in the CUR-
SOR/MENU section to select the desired setting.
Fig. 5.5: Zoom function
The time base setting in the upper right of the display is highlighted in gray while the zoom time base above the
5 .7 Marker Function
Markers allow you to highlight specific positions on the screen, e.g. a rising or falling slope, an unexpected signal value or a search result. Markers can be used to identify specific signal sections to zoom in on and to analyze the data more closely. Use the soft menu to activate the marker function. Press the MENU key in the HORIZONTAL section to open the soft menu. Use the universal knob in the menu to select MARKER. Once this mode is activated, you can press the SET/CLR key to set a time marker at the
6th time unit (the menu in the center of the grid must be deactivated). The time markers are marked by a vertical line in gray-blue. The knob X Position allows you to move the signal including the set marker. After identifying an important signal position and setting it to the center of the screen using the position knob, you can set an additional marker. This procedure allows you to mark up to 8 interesting positions within the signal. You can toggle between markers by pressing the arrow keys
37
. These keys
21

Horizontal System
also allow you to center the markers in the middle of the screen. This feature enables you to quickly compare marked signal sections in ZOOM mode. To delete a marker, center it in the middle of the screen and press the SET/CLR key once again. You can also delete all time markers simultaneously in the marker soft menu. With the soft menu key TRIGGER TIME TO ZERO the triger time can be set to
0 s. Additionally, CLEAR ALL MARKER removes all defined time stamp markers.
6 Trigger System
Four keys are available to select one of the frequently used trigger settings:
❙TYPE: Selection of trigger type Edge, Puls, Logic, Video and Hold off time
❙SLOPE: Type of slope

Fig. 5.6: Marker in Zoom mode
6 .1 Trigger Modes Auto, Normal and Single
The AUTO/NORM
29
key allows you to toggle directly between the basic trigger modes. If Auto mode is activated, the key is not illuminated. Pressing the key will activate
NORMAL mode, and a red LED will highlight the key. In AUTO mode, the screen always displays a signal.
If a signal fulfills the trigger conditions, the oscilloscope will synchronize with this event and triggers when the set condition is met. In case of a signal that does not fulfill the trigger condition (a simple case would be direct current), the oscilloscope itself will generate a trigger event. This allows a glance at the input signals at any time, regardless of the trigger condition. In NORMAL mode, the signal will now be captured and displayed if the trigger condition is met. In case no new signal fulfills the set trigger condition, the signal that was triggered last will be displayed. To ensure that only a signal that meets the trigger condition is detected and displayed, press the Single key to
33
activate this mode. This key is highlighted in white when the SINGLE mode is activated. The R&S®HMO1002 resp.
R&S®HMO1202 series detection and trigger system is now activated, indicated by a blinking RUN/STOP key
39
. If the trigger condition is fulfilled, the trigger system is activated, data is stored and the oscilloscope switches to STOP mode
(the RUN/STOP key is permanently highlighted in red).
6 .2 Trigger Source
The two analog channels are available as trigger sources
(SOURCE key). If the optional extension with active logic probes R&S®HO3508 including 8 digital inputs is connected, up to 8 digital inputs are available as trigger source.
The soft menu key AC LINE enables you to trigger the trigger at system frequency. The trigger signal is extracted internally from the power supply.
6 .3 Trigger type
The trigger type can be selected with the TYPE key
17
in the TRIGGER section. A submenu will be opened.
Trigger System
6 .3 .1 Slope Trigger
The easiest and by far the most frequently used trigger is the slope trigger. The oscilloscope triggers if slopes that were set with the EDGE key occur within the signal selected in the SOURCE menu. The signal slope has to pass through the set trigger level. The trigger type EDGE
TRIGGER is selected in the Autosetup mode (AUTOSET key). If, for instance, you select the pulse trigger and press the AUTOSET key the setting will switch to Edge Trigger.
The TYPE key
31
in the TRIGGER section allows you to set the trigger type. This opens a menu with corresponding options. If the edge type is not active (highlighted in blue), you can press the respective soft menu key to select this type. The slope type (rising, falling or both) can be set directly with the SLOPE
35
key. This will shift the setting forward by one, i.e. from rising to falling slope, to both slopes, and pressing the key yet one more time will trigger another rising slope. The center of the status line on the top of the display and the display above the SLOPE key
35 show which slope type has been selected.
❙LP (low pass): The trigger signal is coupled via low pass with a maximum cut-off frequency of 5 kHz. This filter removes high frequencies and is available with AC and
DC coupling.
❙NR (noise reduction): A low pass filter with a maximum cut-off frequency of 100 MHz will improve the noise performance for the trigger amplifier. This filter removes high frequencies and is available with AC and DC coupling.
The coupling types low pass and noise reduction may not be activated simultaneously.
6 .3 .2 Pulse Trigger
The pulse trigger allows triggering for specific pulse widths of positive or negative pulses or for pulse width ranges.
The oscilloscope triggers if a pulse occurs within the signal selected in the SOURCE menu that matches the properties set in the FILTER menu. If a pulse fulfills the trigger conditions, the oscilloscope triggers on the trailing slope, i.e. for a positive pulse it triggers on the falling slope and for a negative pulse on a rising slope.
Fig. 6.2: Filter settings of edge trigger
The FILTER
36
key allows you to select how to couple the signal for the trigger circuit:
❙AUTO LEVEL: Automatic filter setting (default setting).
❙AC: The trigger signal is coupled via high pass filter with a minimum cut-off frequency of 5 Hz which suppresses the
DC portion of the triggering signal. With a changing DC portion, the trigger level remains at the set point in the AC signal. The trigger type AUTO (AUTO/NORM key) includes the Peak-Peak mode which sets limits for the trigger in the
AC signal. This setting means that the trigger condition will be met for any applied signal without having to set the level. For the trigger type NORM (AUTO/NORM key), the
Peak-Peak mode is deactivated, allowing the trigger level to be moved past the peak values of the signal.
❙DC: The trigger signal is coupled to the trigger circuit with all signal portions (AC and DC voltage). This has no impact on the triggering signal.
❙HF: The trigger signal is coupled via high pass filter with a minimum cut-off frequency (-3 dB) of 30 kHz and is automatically limited when triggering the level with normal trigger. This coupling type should only be applied to very high frequency signals.
Activate the pulse trigger by pressing the TYPE key
31
in the TRIGGER section. Press the FILTER key
36
, then you can select additional settings for the pulse trigger in the soft menu. There are six different settings:
❙t
i
> t: The pulse width ti, which will generate the trigger is greater than the adjustable reference time t.
❙t
i
< t: The pulse width ti, which will generate the trigger is less than the adjustable reference time t.
❙t
i
= t: The pulse width ti, which will generate the trigger equals the adjustable reference time t. The reference time is a combination of time t plus the adjustable deviation.
❙t
i
≠ t: The pulse width ti, which will generate the trigger is unequal to the adjustable reference time t. The reference time is a combination of time t plus the adjustable deviation.
❙t

The comparison time can be set between 16 ns to 10s. For any value up to 1 ms the resolution is 2 ns and for any value greater than 1 ms the resolution is 1 µs. The deviation can be set ±8 ns up to 657,5 µs with a resolution of 8 ns. The time resp. the variation (tolerance zone) can be selected via universal knob or KEYPAD key in the CURSOR/MENU section. Selecting the corresponding soft menu item allows you to set any of these settings for positively (POS.) or negatively polarized pulses (NEG.). For the associated positive pulse, you define the width from rising to falling slopes, and accordingly for the associated negative pulse from falling to rising slopes. As is consistent with the principle, triggering always occurs on the second slope of the pulse.

Trigger System
6 .3 .3 Logic Trigger
You may test all settings in the logic trigger without any active logic probes R&S®HO3508 connected.
Selecting the LOGIC trigger in the soft menu after pressing the TYPE key
31
will switch the trigger source to the digital inputs. Pressing the SOURCE key
32 after selecting this trigger type displays a soft menu for additional settings and a window to list these settings. The soft menu key
LOGIC CHANNEL enables you to select a logic channel for which you wish to determine the trigger condition. Use the universal knob in the CURSOR/MENU section for this purpose. In the general menu, the selected digital input is marked with a blue background. In the field, the trigger level is marked as High (H), Low (L) or (X). Use the corresponding soft menu key to select the trigger level. The soft menu item COMBINATION allows the logic combination of the digital channels. They can be combined by logic AND or OR. If AND is selected, the set conditions of all channels must be met simultaneously for the input signal so that the combination produces a logic High (H) as a result. If OR is selected, at least one of the defined level conditions must be met. The last item in this menu is the option TRIGGER
ON. Use the soft menu key to select TRUE or FALSE.
This allows you to preselect whether the trigger will be generated at the beginning (TRUE) or the end of the logic condition (FALSE).
❙t

❙Timeout: Triggers if the combination is still valid after time t. Time t defines the trigger time limit for the timeout.
Fig. 6.3: Logic trigger menu
After selecting the desired set of conditions, you can use the FILTER key
36
for additional settings. A soft menu will open allowing you to add a time limit to the TRIGGER ON option (this menu shows the condition selected in the
SOURCE menu). Press the top soft menu key DURATION to add a time limit. This option compares the duration of the output signal for the combination of the logic conditions to the set duration ti. If the duration is identical or not identical, you can set the deviation ∆t. If t is within these parameters, the trigger condition has been met. The menu field below allows the selection of the comparison criteria.
The following criteria are available:
❙t
i
≠ t: The duration of the applied bit pattern which will generate the trigger is unequal to the adjustable reference time.
Fig. 6.4: Logic channels’ settings display
As with the pulse trigger, for t i
≠ t or t i
= t you can set a reference time with the soft menu key TIME and the universal knob. Selecting the soft menu item DEVIATION allows you to use the universal knob and KEYPAD key in the CURSOR/
MENU control panel to set the deviation ∆t which defines the tolerance between set reference time t and valid and real pulse width t i
(permissible tolerance range). To change the threshold values for the logic states “one” and “zero”, it is necessary to use settings in the channel menu (MENU key in the VERTICAL section). Select the POD
24
). If logic mode is already activated, the digital channels will be displayed in the channel display section of the display (framed and marked with “POD:xxxV“). Pressing the MENU key
21 in the VERTICAL section allows you to activate one of five predefined logic levels. Three of these are fixed for TTL,
CMOS and ECL. After pressing the respective menu item, two customized logic levels may be set from –2 V to 8 V
(USER1 / USER2) with the universal knob or the KEYPAD key in the CURSOR/MENU section. The soft menu key SET
TO DEFAULT POS. & SIZE activates the display for all digital channels of the selected group by using default values for the vertical position and size. You may also define the name for the current signal by using the soft menu NAME. A library provides a list of predefined names. The name can be activated, deactivated or edited.

Trigger System
6 .3 .4 Video Trigger
The video trigger allows you to trigger on PAL, NTSC
SECAM standard video signals or on HDTV signals. After selecting the VIDEO trigger press the SOURCE
32
key. The
FILTER
36
menu allows you to define additional settings.
The oscilloscope triggers if the CVBS signal (Color Video
Baseband Signal) selected in the SOURCE menu features the attributes set in the FILTER menu. Select the desired standard by pressing the respective soft menu key STAN-
DARD. Use the universal knob in the CURSOR/MENU section or press the soft menu key again to select the desired standard. The following modes are available:
❙PAL
❙NTSC
❙SECAM
❙PAL-M
❙SDTV 576i Interlaced
❙HDTV 720p Progressive
❙HDTV 1080p Progressive
❙HDTV 1080i Interlaced
6 .3 .5 Trigger Hold Off Time
The trigger hold off time indicates how long after a trigger the oscilloscope waits until the trigger system is ready again. The trigger system is active again only after the trigger hold off time has expired. This allows the function to guarantee stable triggering in case unwanted events are triggered. Ideally, the hold off time is used to trigger on periodic signals with several slopes.
Changing the time base does not impact the selected hold off time.
HOLD OFF is a dual soft menu key. If the top section of the soft menu key is active (highlighted in blue), a value can be entered in the CURSOR/MENU section via universal knob or numerically via KEYPAD button. You may enter any value between 50 ns and 10 s. The bottom section of the soft menu key OFF (highlighted in blue) allows you to deactivate the function HOLD OFF.
6 .4 Trigger Events
Use the UTIL menu in the VERTICAL control panel on page
2|2, and then choose the soft menu key ACQ. TRIGGER
EV. to issue a pulse at the AUX OUT connector for each trigger event (Issuing The Trigger Frequency).
Fig. 6.5: Video trigger menu
The second setting will apply to the polarity of the sync pulse (may be positive or negative). With positive video modulation (the highest brightness is represented in the image by the maximum signal voltage), the synchronization pulses are negative, with negative modulation they are positive. The slopes of the synchronization pulses are used for triggering which explains why a faulty polarity setting causes irregular triggering by image information.
Next you can select between frame triggering (FRAME) and line triggering (LINE). Selecting LINE allows you to define the exact line between 1 and 625 via universal knob or the KEYPAD button in the CURSOR/MENU section. The soft menu item ALL LINES enables the oscilloscope to trigger on the start of the lines in the video signal. This key selects all lines i.e. even when other trigger conditions are met, the oscilloscope will trigger on each line. If FRAME is selected for frame triggering, the lower menu items will allow to trigger on ODD or only EVEN half frames. In this case, the oscilloscope will trigger on the start of the half frames in the video signal. The respective key will select the odd (even) half frames, i.e. even if the other trigger conditions are met, the oscilloscope will trigger on each odd (even) half frame.
6 .5 External Trigger
The settings for the external trigger input (EXT TRIG IN) can be set via the POD menu. After pressing the POD button you can activate resp. deactivate the external trigger functionality (soft menu key EXT). If the external trigger functionality is activated (ON), the settings for the external trigger functionality can be set via MENU menu in the
VERTICAL section of the front panel. Via soft menu key
EXT. THRESHOLD the threshold for the external trigger signal can be set. You can use an external trigger signal e.g. for CS (Chip Select) of a SPI BUS (displayed as green line).

Signal Display
7 Signal Display
The following chapter describes the selection and display of signals from various sources as well as all available display modes.
7 .1 Display Settings
The R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 series features a high quality TFT display with VGA (640×480 pixels resolution) including LED backlighting. Basic display settings can be defined by pressing the DISPLAY
14
key in the
GENERAL section. When the soft menu item VIRTUAL
SCREEN is activated, a scroll bar will display to the right of the display graticule. Use the universal knob to upload and download the display window within the 20 divisions of the virtual screen. You will find a detailed description of the
VIRTUAL SCREEN option in the next chapter.
The following settings can be selected:
❙DOTS ONLY:
If this option is activated (ON), only the acquired data points will be shown. This means that the data points of all signals will not be connected by vertical lines. If this option is deactivated (OFF), interpolated data points will also be shown.
❙INVERSE BRIGHTN .:.
This setting inverts the brightness of the displayed signals.
Normally, frequently captured dots will be displayed more brightly than rare dots. The INVERSE BRIGHTNESS option reverses the circumstances. Rare events display a higher brightness compared to frequent events. To capture rare events in a signal, this setting can be used in combination with persistence.
❙FALSE COLORS:
This setting converts the brightness levels of the dis- played signals to a color scale (ranging anywhere from blue, magenta, red and yellow to white). Thanks to the higher contrast, users can view signal details more easily.
This setting applies to all signals simultaneously.
❙GRID:
This soft menu allows you to display the graticule as
LINES (the graticule is divided into horizontal and vertical divisions), as CENTER CROSS (displays one horizontal and one vertical zero line, showing the divisions as dots) or as OFF (the entire graticule will include no dots or lines).
❙INFO WINDOWS:
Selecting this soft menu item will open a submenu which allows you to set the transparency for the info windows.
Info windows are small windows that appear on the screen depending on the particular application (e.g. values are displayed when offset is changed). A trans- parency value of 0% to 100% is selectable. Use the universal knob or the KEYPAD key to define this setting.
Additional menu items allow you to activate or deactivate the info windows for POSITION and TRACE BRIGHTN.. If
POSITION is activated and the vertical position is changed, the respective value on the zero line will be displayed. Depending on the selected trigger type, the user will see specific information about the acquisition status. This information will only be displayed if the signal changes on the screen can persist over a longer period. If the trigger condition has been met, the information window shows a progress display for the post-trigger and pre-trigger. If the trigger condition has not been met, the information window shows the time of the last trigger event (Trig?). If the trigger type AUTOMATIC is selected, the instrument will switch to non-triggered acquisition mode in case of a non-triggered condition over an ex- tended period of time. This acquisition mode does not display an info window as the data currently captured is displayed.
❙AUX . CURSORS:
This soft menu allows you to define the settings for auxiliary cursors. Pressing the function keys enables you to activate or deactivate the cursors. The menu item
DEFAULTS resets the default settings.
7 .2 Usage of the Virtual Screen
Fig. 7.1: Drawing of the virtual screen area
The graticule for the R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 series includes 8 vertical divisions but also has a virtual range of 20 divisions. These 20 divisions may be used entirely by the optional digital channels D0 to D7, the mathematical channels and the references signals. The analog channels may use up to ±10 divisions from the center.
Fig. 7.1 illustrates the functionality of the virtual screen.
The display includes a section of 8 vertical divisions in gray. This section enables you to display analog signals.
The small bar next to the graticule indicates the position of the 8 visible divisions within the available 20 divisions. By pressing the SCROLL BAR
5
the bar will be activated and displayed in blue and you can use the universal knob to shift the 8 visible divisions (gray section) within the available 20 divisions. This allows a simple and clear display of many individual signal portions.
Signal Display
7 .3 Signal Intensity Display and Persistence
Function
The default setting (indicated as active when the INTENS/
PERSIST
7
key is illuminated in white) allows you to use the universal knob to change the intensity of the signal display to anywhere from 0% to 100%. Persistence mode allows the display of varying signals by enabling the instrument to write several signals on the display simultaneously. It is also possible to induce accelerated aging of signals with an adjustable persistence from 50ms to infinite. Signals occurring less frequently will be displayed in darker color and signals occurring more frequently will be displayed in lighter color. Press the INTENS/PERSIST key in the soft menu to select this mode.
the set persistence time. Instead, these signals will continue to be displayed in the background with low brightness. This display is useful for the analysis of peak values in signals, for instance.
7 .4 XY display
The R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 series features a key that allows you to switch directly to the XY display.
Two signals will be displayed simultaneously, one in Y direction and one in X direction. This implicates that the time base X will be replaced by amplitude values of a secondsource. The resulting signal curves for harmonic signals are known as Lissajous figures and allow the analysis of frequency and phase position for these two signals. In case of a nearly identical frequency the figure will rotate. If the frequency is exactly identical, the figure will stand still and the phase position can be deduced from its shape.
The soft menu items TRACE, GRID and BACKLIGHT allow you to use the universal knob in the CURSOR/MENU section to adjust the grid intensity and the backlighting. The soft menu SETTINGS allows you to select the persistence settings for the signals on the screen. The persistence function ensures that signals will not be replaced when the screen is updated. Instead, the signals will pause for a specific amount of time and then slowly begin to fade. This type of display is very similar to that of an analog oscilloscope. There are three possible settings for the duration of the persistence: OFF, AUTOMATIC and MANUAL.
You can activate the XY display by pressing the UTIL key
19
in the VERTICAL section. The display will divided into one large and three small display areas. The large grid shows the XY display while the small grids show the source for X and Y. The small windows feature the classical signal display as Y vs. time. The analog channels can be selected as source.
Fig. 7.2: Persistence function
The option MANUAL allows you to set a duration of 50ms to infinite by using the universal knob or the KEYPAD key. If a finite duration was selected, new signals will be written on top of one another within this timeframe where the most recent captures will be displayed more brightly than older signals. For instance, if 300 ms is selected, the display for the signal curves will become darker in 50ms intervals and will be erased after 300 ms. The AUTOMATIC setting allows you to select the automatic configuration of the persistence. If this setting is activated, the instrument attempts to select the optimal time. If OFF is selected, the persistence function is deactivated.
Another available option is the BACKGROUND function.
With this key, you can activate or deactivate a mode which allows older signal curves to not disappear entirely after

Signal Display
8 Measurements
There are two different types of measurements on signals: cursor measurements and automatic measurements. All measurements are stored in a buffer memory that is larger than the display memory. The integrated hardware counter shows the frequency and period duration for the selected input.
8 .1 Cursor Measurements
The measurement option that is most frequently used with an oscilloscope is the cursor measurement. Depending on the measurement type up to three markers are available. To control cursor measurements, you may use the keys CUR-
SOR MEASURE and KEYPAD as well as the universal knob.
The menu CURSOR MEASURE allows you to select cursorbased measurements for an activated signal source on the oscilloscope. The measurement type can be defined in the menu that opens when you press the CURSOR MEASURE key.
Following measurement types can be selected:
PEAK VALUES: This mode provides two cursors to measure the minimum and the maximum voltage of a signal within the interval set by using both cursors. The values Vp- and Vp+ correspond to the minimum and the maximum voltage.
The peak value (Vpp) corresponds to the amount of voltage between the minimum and maximum value.
RMS, MEAN, STANDARD DEVIATION: This mode provides two cursors to measure the effective value (RMS – Root Mean Square), the mean value and the standard deviation within the interval set by using both cursors.
DUTY RATIO: This mode provides three cursors to determine the duty ratio between the two horizontal cursors. The third cursor is used to specify the threshold at which the duty ratio is measured.
BURST WIDTH: This mode determines the duration of burst from the first edge to the last edge (Bst).
VOLTAGE: This mode provides two cursors to measure three different voltages. The values
V1 and V2 correspond to the voltage between the zero base line of the selected signal and the current position of the first or second cursor. The value ΔV corresponds to the amount of voltage between the two cursors.
RISE TIME 90%: This mode provides two cursors to measure the rise and fall time of the first rising slope in the displayed view of the screen within the time span set by the cursors. The rise time identifies the time in which the signal rises from 10% to 90% of its amplitude.
TIME: This mode provides two cursors to measure three different times and an equivalent frequency. The values t1 and t2 correspond to the time between the trigger and the current position of the first or second cursor. The value Δt corresponds to the amount of time between the two cursors.
RISE TIME 80%: This mode provides two cursors to measure the rise and fall time of the first rising slope in the displayed view of the screen within the time span set by the cursors. The rise time identifies the time in which the signal rises from 20% to 80% of its amplitude.
measure a ratio in X direction (e.g. a duty ratio) between the first two cursors and the first and the third cursor. The measurement values are displayed in four different formats (floating point, percent, degrees and radians).
RATIO X: This mode provides three cursors to V-MARKER: This mode provides two cursors to measure three different voltages and a time. The values V1 and V2 correspond to the voltage between the zero base line of the selected curve and the current position of the first or second cursor. The value ΔV corresponds to the amount of voltage between the two cursors. The value Δt corresponds to the amount of time between the two cursors.
RATIO Y: This mode provides three cursors to measure a ratio in Y direction (e.g. an overshoot) between the first two cursors and the first and the third cursor. The measurement values are displayed in two different formats (floating point and percent).
COUNT: This mode provides three cursors to count signal changes that exceed the threshold within a specific interval. The interval may be set by using the first two cursors and the threshold may be set by using the third cursor. The measurement values are displayed in four different formats (number of rising and falling slopes and number of positive and negative pulses).
CREST FACTOR: The crest factor (peak-to-average ratio) is calculated from the maximum value divided by the RMS value of the waveform (Crest).
To move cursors, press the universal knob in the CURSOR/
MENU section and position the cursor by turning the universal knob. The measurement types have the following functions. The measurement results are displayed at the bottom of the screen. If “n/a” is displayed, the measurement is not applicable to the signal. For instance, this may be the case for a voltage measurement on a POD because only logic sta-

tes without voltage reference are displayed here. If “?” is displayed, the display does not show a complete measurement result. For instance, the period to be measured may not display completely and can consequently not be identified.
MEAN VALUE: This mode measures the mean value of the signal amplitude (Mean). If the signal is periodic, the first period on the left of the screen will be used for the measurement. The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel.
RMS VALUE: This mode identifies the effective value from the displayed view of the signal.
If the signal is periodic, the first period on the left of the screen will be used for the measurement. The effective value is not applied to a sine signal will be calculated directly (so-called TrueRMS). The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel.
PEAK-PEAK: This mode measures the difference in voltage between the maximum and the minimum peak value of the signal within the displayed view (V pp
).

If the function AUTOM. SOURCE is activated (ON), the currently targeted channel will be used as source for the measurement automatically. If the setting is deactivated
(OFF), the channel set under SOURCE will be applied even if it is not targeted. Pressing the soft menu key SET
TO TRACE places the selected cursors in their optimal position on the signal curve. This allows very fast and typically optimal automatic positioning of the cursors. For the most part, only fine tuning is required at this point and the tedious major adjustments to the cursors will no longer be necessary. In case the automated function SET
TO TRACE does not provide the anticipated results due to complex signals, you can press the key SET TO TRACE to position the cursors in a predefined starting position.
This allows you to return distant cursors to the screen.
The soft menu key GLUE TO TRACE allows cursors to stay on the selected data point without changing the position in the measurement signal even if the scaling is modified
(cursors will be „glued“ to the signal). This function can be activated or deactivated. If this mode is deactivated, the cursor stays in position on the screen if scaling occurs.
With GLUE TO TRACE deactivated, the measured value changes while it remains unmodified when the mode is activated.
PEAK + : This mode measures the maximum voltage value in the displayed view of the screen. The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel (V
PERIOD: This mode measures the duration of the signal period T. The period identifies the duration between two equal values of one periodically repeated signal.

PEAK – : This mode measures the minimum voltage value in the displayed view of the screen. The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel (V p-
).
FREQUENCY: This mode identifies the frequency of the signal from the reci-procal value of the first signal period T (f). The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel.
AMPLITUDE: This mode measures the amplitude of a square wave signal (VAmp). This mode calculates the difference in voltage between the upper and the lower level (V base
and V top
). The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel and requires a minimum of one complete period of a triggered signal.
The cursors will be deactivated by pressing the CURSOR
MEASURE key. The cursor menu will be closed.
CREST FACTOR: The crest factor (peak-to-average ratio) is calculated from the maximum value divided by the RMS value of the waveform (Crest).

BASE LEVEL: This mode measures the mean voltage level of the lower square wave (V
Base
).
This mode calculates the mean value of the slope (without overshoot). The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel and requires a minimum of one complete period of a triggered signal.
FALL TIME 90%: This mode measures the fall time of the first falling slope in the displayed view of the screen (t f
). The fall time identifies the time in which the signal falls from 90% to 10% of its amplitude.
POS . OVERSHOOT: This mode measures the positive overshoot of a square wave which is calculated from top level, peak + and amplitude value (+Ovr).
RISE TIME 80%: This mode measures the rise time of the first rising slope in the displayed view of the screen (t r80
). The rise time identifies the time in which the signal rises from 20% to 80% of its amplitude.
NEG . OVERSHOOT: This mode measures the negative overshoot of a square wave which is calculated from base level, peak — and amplitude value (-Ovr).
.
PULSE WIDTH +: This mode measures the width of the positive pulse. A positive pulse consists of a rising slope followed by a falling slope. This measurement type identifies the two slopes and calculates the pulse width from their time difference.
The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel and requires a minimum of one completely displayed period of a triggered signal.
PULSE WIDTH –: This mode measures the width of the negative pulse. A negative pulse consists of a falling slope followed by a rising slope. This measurement type identifies the two slopes and calculates the pulse width from their time difference
(t). The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel and requires a minimum of one completely displayed period of a triggered signal.
σ-STD. DEVIATION: This mode measures the standard deviation of the signal amplitude in the displayed view of the screen. The standard deviation is the measurement for the deviation of a signal from its mean value. A low result indicates that the values are close to the mean value. A higher result illustrates that on average the difference between the values is greater.
DELAY: This mode measures the time delay between the set measurement source and the reference source. This mode searches for the slope of the measurement source that is closest to the time reference. Then, beginning from this point, it searches for the nearest slope of the reference source.
This time difference indicates the measurement result. A submenu (DELAY SETUP) allows you to select the setting for measurement source, reference source and slopes.
DUTY CYCLE +: This mode measures the positive duty ratio. In this mode, positive signal portions are identified over a specific period and will then be analyzed in relation to the signal period.
The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel and requires a minimum of one complete period of a triggered signal. The measured value Dty+ is displayed as a percentage of the signal period.
DUTY CYCLE –: This mode measures the negative duty ratio. In this mode, positive negative portions are identified over a specific period and will then be analyzed in relation to the signal period.
The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel and requires a minimum of one complete period of a triggered signal. The measured value Dty+ is displayed as a percentage of the signal period.
PHASE: This mode measures the phase between two slopes of two channels in the displaced view of the screen (Phs). This mode measures the relation of the time delay between the set sources to the signal period of the measurement source.
This mode searches for the slope of the measurement source that is closest to the time reference. Then, beginning from this point, it searches for the nearest slope of the reference source. The time difference and the signal period indicate the measurement result in degrees. A submenu (MEASUREMENT SOURCE/ REFERENCE SOURCE) allows you to select the measurement source and the reference source with the universal knob in the CURSOR/
MENU section.
RISE TIME 90%: This mode measures the rise time of the first rising slope in the displayed view of the screen (t r
). The rise time identifies the time in which the signal rises from 10% to 90% of its amplitude.
FALL TIME 80%: This mode measures the fall time of the first falling slope in the displayed view of the screen (t f80
). The fall time identifies the time in which the signal falls from 80% to 20% of its amplitude.
BURST WIDTH: This mode determines the duration of burst from the first edge to the last edge (Bst).
COUNT + : This mode counts positive pulses in the displayed view of the screen. A positive pulse consists of a rising slope followed by a
30
Measurements
falling slope. The mean value is calculated from the amplitude of the measurement signal. A slope will be counted if the signal runs through the mean value. A pulse that passes the mean value only once will not be calculated. The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel.
COUNT – : This mode counts negative pulses in the displayed view of the screen. A negative pulse consists of a falling slope followed by a rising slope. The mean value is calculated from the amplitude of the measurement signal. A slope will be counted if the signal runs through the mean value. A pulse that passes the mean value only once will not be calculated. The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel.
The automatic measurement results are displayed at the bottom of the screen. If “n/a” is displayed, the measurement is not applicable to the signal. For instance, this may be the case for a voltage measurement on a POD because only logic states without voltage reference are displayed here. If
“?” is displayed, the display does not show a complete measurement result. For instance, the period to be measured may not display completely and can consequently not be identified.
The list of available sources only includes displayed channels (possible sources are analog, digital and mathematical channels).
COUNT +/ : This mode counts signal changes
(slopes) from Low Level to High Level in the displayed view of the screen. The mean value is calculated from the amplitude of the measurement signal.
A slope will be counted if the signal runs through the mean value. The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel.
With the soft menu key CLEAR ALL the activated automatic measurements will be switched off.
COUNT –/ : This mode counts signal changes
(slopes) from High Level to Low Level in the displayed view of the screen. The mean value is calculated from the amplitude of the measurement signal.
A slope will be counted if the signal runs through the mean value. The measurement will only be applied to the selected channel.
TRIGGER FREQUENCY: This mode measures the frequency of the trigger signal bases on the period duration (f
Tr
). The source for the measurement is the currently set trigger source. The frequency will be determined with a hardware counter with a high accuracy of 5 digits.
TRIGGER PERIOD: This mode measures the duration of periods of the trigger signal (with a hardware counter T
Tr
).

9 .2 Frequency Analysis (FFT)
In general, the FFT in an oscilloscope works differently than in a spectrum analyzer and is affected not only by the time base setting, but also by the available number of used acquired data points when calculating the FFT. The R&S®HMO1002 allows you to include up to 128k point in the FFT.
The FFT is not suitable for the analysis of very slow signals (Hzrange); this type of analysis requires a classic oscilloscope mode.
This example shows the analysis of an electrical energy waveform. The voltage across the load is being measured with differential probe and applied to channel 2. The current is being measured with a current probe and applied to channel 1. First, the conversion factor of the current probe
(100 mV/A) will be entered. The formula set 1 will be opened and the equation MA1 will be defined. After pushing the soft menu key EDIT, the appropriate functions can be selected using the universal knob in the CURSOR/MENU section. In this example, channel CH1 will be multiplied with a constant (0.1) and the unit A (Ampere) will be assigned. This ensures the correct display of the scale factors as well as the units for cursors and automatic measurements.
The equation MA1 can be named „CURRENT using the soft menu key LABEL.
Afterwards, a new equation MA2 will be entered and adjusted. The result of the equation calculation „CURRENT“ and channel CH2 will be multiplied which will be yielded to a power curve. The equation MA2 can be named „PO-
WER“ using the soft menu key LABEL. At last, a 3rd equation MA3 will be added to the set of formulas which will be defined as the integral of the equation „POWER“. The equation MA3 can be named „ENERGY“ using the soft menu key LABEL.
The FFT menu in the ANALYZE section allows a quick Fourier transformation which displays the frequency spectrum of the measured signal. The changed display allows you to determine the most frequent frequencies in the signal and the corresponding amplitude. Once the FFT key was pressed, the screen will be divided into two graticules.
The upper left of the display shows information about the settings in the time range, the area between the upper and the lower window shows details about zoom and position, and the section below the large FFT display window indicates the settings (Span and Center) in the frequency range. The lower FFT display window will be outlined in white when the FFT is activated. This means that the large knob in the time range section is used to select the span.
The span is specified in the unit Hz (Hertz) and identifies the width of the shown frequency range. The span position can be determined by selecting the center value. You may use the horizontal encoder X Position for this purpose.
The shown frequency range ranges from (Center — Span/2) to (Center + Span/2).
The minimum increment depends on the time base. The greater the time base, the smaller the span. Another important element for the
FFT is the setting “Max. Sampling Rate” in the ACQUIRE menu.

Analysis
The soft menu key MODE allows you to choose from the following display types:
❙REFRESH:
This mode calculates and displays the FFT without additional evaluation or editing of the captured data. The new input data is captured, displayed and overwrites previously stored and displayed values.
❙ ENVELOPE:
In the Envelope mode, the maximum deflections of all spectra will be stored separately in addition to the current spectrum and will be updated with each new spectrum.
These maximum values will be displayed with the input data and create an envelope curve. The spectrum is located within the envelope limits. This forms an area or a sleeve including all occurrences of FFT signal values. With each signal parameter change the envelope curve will be reset.
❙ AVERAGE:
This mode calculates the mean value from several spectra. It is applicable for noise reduction. The soft menu key #AVERAGES allows you to select the number of spectra used to calculate the mean value by setting the universal knob in the power of 2 from 2 to 512.
is increased. This function is useful for a precise amplitude measurement of a period signal, for instance.
HAMMING: The Hamming window function is bell-shaped. In contrast to the Hanning and
Blackman window function, it is not equal to zero at the margin of the measurement interval. Therefore the height of the noise level in the spectrum is greater than with the Hanning and Blackman window function but less than with the square wave window function. However, the spectral lines not as wide as in other bell-shaped functions. This function is useful for a precise amplitude measurement of a period signal, for instance.
BLACKMAN: The Blackman window function is bell-shaped and its waveform features the steepest fall-off among the available functions.
Is is zero at both ends of the measurement interval. The
Blackman window function allows you to measure the amplitudes with high accuracy. However, it is more difficult to determine the frequency due to the wide spectral lines.
This function is useful for a precise amplitude measurement of a period signal, for instance.
RECTANGLE: The rectangle function multiplies all points by 1. This results in a high frequency accuracy with narrow spectral lines and increased noise. This function can be used for pulse response tests with start and end values of zero.
The menu item Y-SCALING allows you to scale the FFT in the amplitude logarithmically (dBm / dBV) or linear (V eff
).
The unit dBm (Decibel-Milliwatt) refers to 1 mW. The unit dBV (Decibel-Volt) refers to 1 Veff. The displayed values refer to a 50 Ohm terminating resistor. You can use an external terminating resistor parallel to the high impedance input.
Fig. 9.7: FFT
The menu entry POINTS allows you to select the maxi- mum number of capture points to be included in the calculation by using the universal knob in the CURSOR/
MENU section. The possible settings are 2048, 4096,
8192, 16384, 32768, 65536, 131072 points. The soft menu
WINDOWS allows you to improve the FFT display in case of irregularities at the margins of the measurement inter- val. Irregularities are calculated as a leap by a computing algorithm and interfere with the measurement result. In the event of a bell-shaped window function, the margins with lower values are multiplied and the impact is damped. The soft menu item WINDOW allows you to choose from the following window functions:
HANNING: The Hanning window function is bell-shaped. In contrast to the Hamming window function, it is equal to zero at the margin of the measurement interval. Therefore the noise level is reduced in the spectrum and the width of the spectral lines
You can deactivate the FFT function by pressing the soft menu key FFT OFF or pressing the FFT key on the control panel again.

KEYPAD button in the CURSOR/MENU section are used to enter values with a resolution of 1/100 division. A mask includes a minimum and a maximum value for each captured data value. The minimum and maximum value for a source curve with only one value per data are identical. The width indicates the distance between the peripheral points and the original point. The greater the selected value is, the greater are the potential curve deviations in the amplitude. The tolerance mask is displayed in white in the background. The generated and edited mask can be used immediately for the test, however, it is only saved temporarily in the instrument storage. The soft menu key SAVE can be used to store the mask permanently to a USB stick or to the internal memory.
Press the key MENU OFF to return to the start menu.
Pressing the QUICK VIEW key again switched off the function.
9 .4 PASS/FAIL Test based on Masks
The Pass/Fail test allows you to evaluate if a signal is located within defined limits. This limits are set by a so-called mask. If the signal exceeds the mask, there is an error.
These errors will be displayed together with successful sweeps and the total of all sweeps at the bottom of the screen. It is also possible to perform certain actions if errors are discovered.
Press the UTIL key in the VERTICAL section and press the soft menu key PASS/FAIL on page 2|2 to activate the mode which opens a menu to set and use the mask test. Prior to starting the test by pressing the top soft menu key TEST
ON/OFF, it is necessary to generate or load a mask and to select an action. To generate a new mask, press the soft menu key NEW MASK. Masks are displayed as light gray curves/waveforms on the screen. If a mask was copied or loaded, you can use menu items to change the expansion of the signal form and consequently the limits for the test.
Press the soft menu key LOAD MASK to open a file browser which allows you to load previously stored masks for the test (file extension .HMK). A loaded mask can be changed in the menu NEW MASK. Changes will be applied to the file when the mask is edited and saved. Pressing the soft menu key ACTIONS in the PASS/FAIL main menu opens a menu with the available actions. The following four actions can be performed:
❙Audio signal if the tolerance limits have been exceeded
❙Stop for first-time failure (number is adjustable)
❙Pulse for first-time failure (emits a pulse at the AUX output in case of failure)
❙Screen dump for first-time failure on USB stick
❙Screen dump for first-time failure on printer
An action is performed if the respective condition is met
(e.g. a specific number of mask failures). Each action is assigned a unique condition which can be defined separately from the other actions. The respective condition can be defined in the menu for the corresponding action. Select the respective action by pressing the appropriate soft menu key; the corresponding soft menu item will be highlighted in blue. Press the MENU OFF key to return to the main menu and to start the mask test.

9 .5 Component Test
Fig. 9.9: HZ20 adapter connected to AUX OUT
The R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 series has a built-in component tester. This can be activated by pushing the UTIL button (VERTICAL section) with the soft menu key COMP. TEST. The unit under test is connected via AUX
OUT connector and BNC/Banana adapter (e.g. HZ20). After switch on the component tester mode, the Y preamplifiers and the time base are disconnected. While using the component tester, signals may be present at the inputs as long as the unit under test is not connected to any other circuit.
It is possible to test components remaining in their circuits, but in such cases all signals must be disconnected from the front panel BNC connectors (see the following paragraph:
„Test in circuits“). The test principle is a generator within the R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 series generates a 50 Hz or 200 Hz (±10 %) sine wave which feeds the series connection of the test object and a sense resistor. If the test object has only a real part such as a resistor, both voltages will be in phase; the display will be a straight line, more or less slanted.
If components are tested which are located in circuits or instruments, the circuits resp. instruments must be disconnected first!
If they are operated from the mains, the mains plug of the test object has to be pulled out. This ensures that there will be no loops between the scope and the test object via the safety earth which might cause false results.
Is the test object short-circuited, the line will be vertical
(no voltage, current maximum). If the test object is opencircuited or missing a horizontal line will appear (voltage, but no current). The angle of the line with the horizontal is a measure of the resistance value, allowing for measurements of resistors between Ω and kΩ. Capacitors and inductors cause phase shift between voltage and current and hence between the voltages. This will cause displays of ellipses. The location and the form factor of the ellipse are determined by the apparent impedance at 50 Hz (resp. 200
Hz). Capacitors can be measured between µF and mF. An ellipse with its longer axis horizontal indicates a high impedance (small capacitance or large inductance). An ellipse with its longer axis vertical indicates a low impedance (large capacitance or small inductance). An ellipse with its longer axis slanted indicates a relatively large resistive loss in series with the impedance of the capacitor or inductor.
Fig. 9.10: Component test example.
Only discharged capacitors may be tested!
With semiconductors the transition from the non-conducting to the conducting state will be indicated in their characteristic. As far as is possible with the available voltages and currents the forward and backward characteristics are displayed (e.g. with zener diodes up to 9 V). Because this is a two-pole measurement, the gain of a transistor can not be determined, however, the B-C, B-E, C-E diodes can be measured. With this exception the diodes can be measured without fear of destruction as the maximum voltage is limited to 9 V and the current to a few mA. This implies, however, that a measurement of breakdown voltages > 9 V is not possible. In general this is no dis-advantage because, if there is a defect in a circuit, gross deviations are to be expected which will point to the defective component. Rather exact results may be achieved if the measurements are compared to those of intact components. This is especially true for semiconductors. The polarity of diodes or transistors can thus be identified if the lettering or marking is missing. Please note that with semiconductors changing the polarity will cause the display to rotate 180 degrees around the screen center. More important in practice is the quick determination of plain shorts and opens which are the most common causes of requiring service.
It is highly recommended to observe the necessary precautions when handling MOS components which can be destroyed by static charges and even tribo electricity.
9 .5 .1 In-circuit tests
They are possible in many cases but deliver rarely clear results. By paralleling of real or complex impedances – especially if those are fairly low impedance at 50 Hz/200 Hz
– there will be mostly great differences compared to

Analysis
Fig. 9.11: Excamples of Component test individual components. If circuits of the same type have to be tested often (service), comparisons with intact circuits may help again. This is also quickly done because the intact circuit has not to be functional, also it should not be energized. Just probe the various test points with the cables of the component tester of the unit under test and the intact unit and compare the screen displays. Sometimes the unit under test may already contain an intact portion of the same type, this ist e.g. the case with stereo circuits, pushpull circuits or symmetrical bridge circuits. In cases of doubt one side of the dubious component can be unsoldered.
digital voltmeter includes a 3-digit voltage display as 7-segment display with the use of the analog channels. Four freely configurable measuring displays are possible where two measurement value displays for channel 1 (CH1) and two measurement value displays for channel 2 (CH2) are available. For each channel, the measurement displays are divided into in a primary measurement location (soft menu key Channel 1 / Channel 2) and a secondary measurement location
(soft menu key SECONDARY). The primary measurement display will be shown in a large font, and the secondary measurement display in a small font. All measurement displays can be configured separately.
The following primary and secondary measurement displays are available:
❙ OFF: Measurement display deactivated
❙ DC: Mean
❙ DC RMS: RMS
❙ AC RMS: Standard Deviation
❙
CREST FACTOR: Crest factor (|X|max/XRMS)
❙ PEAK PEAK: Maximum-Minimum
❙ PEAK +: Maximum
❙ PEAK -: Minimum
Use the soft menu key POSITION to change the display position of the digital voltmeter on the screen. When the
XY mode is activated, the display position of the digital voltmeter is predefined and cannot be modified. Use the soft menu key VOLTMETER OFF to deactivate the digital voltmeter function and to close the menu.
9 .6 Digital Voltmeter
The digital voltmeter completely captures input data with the selected vertical sensitivity and the basic accuracy of the ADC. The digital voltmeter is independent from the capture settings and the post processing of the transformer values. Determine the values by means of the measurement interval to ensure the defined frequency range of
20 Hz to 100 kHz. The measurement interval of the digital voltmeter is not corresponding to the acquisition time interval. Therefore, the measurement values of the digital voltmeter can not be the same like the measurement values of the AUTO MEASURE values.
The analysis function DIG. VOLTMETER can be activated by using the UTIL menu in the VERTICAL control panel. The

Use the soft menu key FREQUENCY to select the signal frequency, and use the soft menu key AMPLITUDE to select the signal amplitude via universal knob or numerically via KEYPAD key in the CURSOR/MENU control panel. You also have the option to select a DC offset (soft menu key
OFFSET). An information box shows a preview of the respective signal form with the selected parameters.
Use the soft menu key OFF to deactivate the function generator and to close the menu.
.
10 .2 .3 Arbitrary
The user can define a 4 bit wide and a 2048 sample deep pattern via soft menu ARBITRARY. The created patterns can be stored or recalled. If the arbitrary function is activated, the predefined pattern, which may have been generated automatically, will be retained. This means that a SPI pattern can be analyzed and adapted as necessary.
10 .2 Pattern Generator
The pattern generator includes the output of parallel patterns on the four pins S0 to S3 on the front panel of the instrument. It is based on a 2048 bit wide memory
(Samples) which can be issued cyclically / individually. All sub functions of the PATTERN GENERATOR are based on this memory. It is not possible to issue multiple functions simultaneously. An information box shows which pins to use. The pattern generator menu (pattern generator) includes various options. Use the UTIL menu in the VERTICAL control panel and press the soft menu key PATTERN GEN. to open it.

In the manual pattern mode, the modes of the individual pins S0 to S3 are wired separately. Each pin is assigned to a specific soft menu key and the condition HIGH (H) or
LOW (L) is selected.
10 .2 .5 BUS Signal Source
Use the pattern generator connectors on the front panel of the instrument to generate the following BUS signals (for measurements without measurement object), depending on the setting:
❙SPI: Data rate 100 kBit/s, 250 kBit/s or 1 MBit/s
❙I

C: Data rate 100 kBit/s, 400 kBit/s, 1 MBit/s or 3.4 MBit/s
❙UART: Data rate 9600 Bit/s, 115.2 kBit/s and 1 MBit/s
❙CAN: up to 50 MBit/s
❙LIN: up to 50 MBit/s
Fig. 10.2: Arbitrary pattern setup
❙TIMING SETUP:
Use the soft menu key BIT TIME to set the time at which you would like each sample to be applied. The time is identical for all samples. The configurable PERIOD applies to the entire pattern and is calculated by its length multiplied by its bit time (time of a sample). If the BURST function is activated (ON), the instrument will pause after each issued pattern for the duration of the IDLE TIME.
Only then will the pattern be issued again. Setting the
N-CYCLE option enables the user to issue the pattern precisely <n> times. The sample time can be set from
20 ns to 42 s in increments of 10 ns. It will be implemented by means of a 32 bit counter. The IDLE TIME between the patterns can be set from 20 ns to 42 s in increments of
10 ns. It will also be implemented by means of a 32 bit counter. Use the universal knob or the KEYPAD key in the
CURSOR/MENU control panel to enter the values.
❙SAVE/RECALL:
The manually created pattern can be saved or recalled via soft menu SAVE or RECALL. The pattern can be stored internally or externally on a connected USB stick. The pattern and the time settings will be saved.
❙ARB . TRIGGER:
The soft menu key ARB. TRIGGER makes three possible trigger functions available. The CONT. option (continuous trigger) issues the pattern continuously. If the BURST function is activated, only the IDLE TIME is applied between the patterns. The N-CYCLE setting is voided by the continuous output. For the EXT. (external trigger) setting, the pattern is issued by an edge at the external input of the oscilloscope (TRIG. EXT.). If the BURST function is activated, the pattern will be issued <n> times (see N-CYCLE). In addition, you are able to determine the direction of the triggering edge. If BOTH is selected as slope direction, both edges are of equal value. The first edge triggers the pattern. The edges do not alternate. If the MAN. setting is activated, the pattern is issued manually by pressing the respective key. If the
BURST function is activated, IDLE TIME and N-CYCLE apply.
The signals of the BUS signal source are pseudo random pattern and are not adaptable. Only the BUS type and the data rate can be selected.
The contact at the upper left is always ground and the signal levels are about 1 V. The following table shows how the four outputs S1, S2, S3 and are used, depending on the signal.

Saving of all visible channels is only possible with the CSV format and can not be changed.
The soft menu key FILE NAME opens the menu for the name entry, where you can use the universal knob or the
KEYPAD key in the CURSOR/MENU section to enter a name and confirm your entry by pressing ACCEPT (TRC is the default name). The curve main menu will display automatically. You can open a selection window by pressing the soft menu key FORMAT to determine the file format.
The universal knob in the CURSOR/MENU section allows you to select the desired format. You can choose from the following formats:
❙BIN (MSB/LSB):
A binary file may contain any type of Byte value. The captured curve data will be stored without any time information.
❙FLT (MSB/LSB):
A FLT file contains the captured data as voltage values.
Compared to a FLT file, the captured amount of data for a
CSV file is 16 times greater. The voltage values are stored in the Float format (4 Byte Float, binary, Big Endian). This file can be reused in programs written by users, for instance.
❙CSV (Comma Separated Values):
In CSV files, curve data is stored in table format. Each table row is separated by a comma.
Example: Trace with all visible channels
[s],CH1[V],CH2[V]
-4.99500E-07,-2.601E-03
-4.99000E-07,-6.012E-04

-4.98000E-07,1.399E-03
11 .3 Traces
In addition to references, you can also store A/D converter data. Traces can only be stored to externally connected
USB sticks (not internally). Depending on the selected time base and sample rate in the ACQUIRE menu (AUTOMATIC,
MAX. SAMPLE RATE or MAX. WAVEFORM RATE) the maximum read-out measurement points varies..
The full memory can only be read out in STOP mode with the maximum sampling rate setting (ACQUIRE menu).
In the soft menu STORAGE the USB connection on the front of the instrument is selected as storage location.
Selecting the respective storage location is possible when a USB stick has been recognized. If a USB stick is connected, you can also change, create or delete directories. Use the soft menu key SORT ENTRIES to sort several settings files by name, type, size or date. Press ACCEPT DIR. to confirm the target directory and you will automatically return to the curve main menu.
If you choose the “Max. Sampling Rate” in the ACQUIRE menu, two rows will be affixed with a time stamp during the CSV export because a minimum and a maximum value must be assigned to this time value. To acquire an amplitude value per time stamp, activate “Automatic” in the ACQUIRE menu.
❙TXT:
TXT files are ASCII files that only contain amplitude values (no time values). Amplitude values are separated by a comma. The value pairs are listed as single values without identification.

C BUS the master communicates with. Use the universal knob in the CURSOR/MENU section to select the address for the observing bus participant to be triggered. The soft menu
DATA enables you to enter specific data in addition to the address. With this menu, you can trigger on clearly defined data bytes (color cyan) within the transmission, allowing you to filter out irrelevant transmissions. You can trigger on up to 24 bit (3 byte) of data. An offset of 0 to
4095 to the address is allowed. Select BYTE OFFSET which defines the distance between the bytes relevant for the trigger condition and the address. In most cases, the byte offset is zero if the trigger is to occur on the maximum first 24 bits after the address. The soft menu key NUMBER OF BYTES allows you to define how many bytes are to be analyzed for the trigger condition. The input may be binary or hexadecimal (PATTERN INPUT). If binary input is selected, the individual bits can be assigned to any condition via soft menu key SELECT BIT and the universal knob. The soft menu key STATE allows you to set the state H (=1), L (=0) or X (don’t care) for each bit. The state X defines any state. If the input is hexadecimal, only the entire byte can be set to X. If you choose the hexadecimal input, use the soft menu key

For SPI/SSPI BUS trigger and decoding you need the R&S®HOO10 resp. R&S®HOO11 option or the upgrade voucher R&S®HV110 resp. R&S®HV111.
The Serial Peripheral Interface SPI is used to communicate with slow peripheral devices, in particular for the transfer of data streams. The SPI bus was developed by Motorola
(today known as Freescale); however, it has not been formally standardized. Generally, this is a bus with clock and data lines and a select line (3-wire). If only one master and one slave are present, the select line may be deleted. This type of line is also called SSPI (Simple SPI) (2-wire). A SPI
BUS has the following properties:
❙Master-slave communication
❙No instrument addressing
13.5.1 SPI / SSPI BUS Configuration
Prior to the BUS configuration it is necessary to set the correct logic level (threshold). Please refer to chapter 4.5. The default setting is 500 mV. For 3-wire SPI the external trigger input will be used a CS (Chip Select). The threshold can be set in the BUS configuration menu.
Certain settings are necessary to guarantee that a SPI bus is decoded correctly. First, you have to determine if a SPI system with or without chip select is available (2-wire or
3-wire SPI). This can be done in the BUS setup menu when selecting the BUS type. For a 2-wire SPI system, select the option SSPI; for a 3-wire SPI system, select the option SPI.
Then press the CONFIGURATION button to open the setup menu for SPI. Use the top soft menu key SOURCE to select the respective channel for chip select (CS), clock (Clk) and data. Select the respective soft menu key CS, Clk or
Data and then use the soft menu key DATA and the universal knob to the select the respective source channel. For the 2-wire SPI, select the possible TIME OUT instead of a chip select source. During the time out, data and clock line are at Low. When the time out has been reached, a new frame begins. If the time intervals between the data packets are shorter than the time out, these packets belong to the same frame. You can select the dead time via universal knob or via numeric input (KEYPAD button). A small window provides information about the current settings.
If the option R&S®HOO11 resp. the voucher R&S®HV111 is installed, it it only possible to select analog channels as source.
If the option R&S®HOO10 resp. the voucher R&S®HV110 is installed, both analog and digital channels are available as source.
In addition to assigning the source, the soft menu key AC-
TIVE allows you to select the following settings:
❙CS: Chip select high or low active (low active is the default setting)
50
Serial Bus Analysis
❙CLK: Data will be stored with rising or falling slope (rising slope is the default setting)

2, bit 0 and bit 1 after CS will be ignored and the pattern begins with bit 2). You can select a value between 0 and
4095 via universal knob or enter it numerically (KEYPAD button). The soft menu key NUMBER OF BITS allows you to select how many bits will be analyzed for the trigger condition. You can select a value between 1 and 32 bit via universal knob. The serial bit sequence (PATTERN INPUT) can be entered as binary or hexadecimal value. If you choose the binary input, the soft menu key SELECT BIT and the universal knob allow you to select which individual bits within the data are to be edited. The option
STATE allows you to assign a logic state to each bit (High
= H = 1, Low = L = 0 or X = don’t care). The state X defines any state. If you choose the hexadecimal input, the soft menu key VALUE and the universal knob allow you to set the value for the respective nibble (4 bit). If the input is hexadecimal, only the entire nibble can be set to
X. Use the soft menu key SELECT NIBBLE to toggle between nibbles. The active nibble will be marked with a green border in the display window of the trigger condition.
Fig. 13.9: Menu for the definition of a SPI bus
You can use the soft menu key BIT ORDER to determine if the data of each message starts with the MSB (most significant bit) or the LSB (least significant bit). The soft menu key WORD SIZE allows you to select via universal knob how many bits are included per message. You may select any value between 1 and 32 bits.
Press the MENU OFF button three times to close all menus, and the oscilloscope will trigger on the set bit sequence. For measurements without measuring object please refer to chapter 10.2.5.

13 .6 UART/RS-232 BUS
For UART/RS-232 BUS trigger and decoding you need the
R&S®HOO10 resp. R&S®HOO11 option or the upgrade voucher
R&S®HV110 resp. R&S®HV111.
The UART bus (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) is a general bus system and the base for many protocols. One example is the RS-232 protocol. It consists of a frame with a start bit, 5 to 9 data bits, one parity bit and a stop bit. The stop bit can assume the single length, or 1.5 or twice the length of a normal bit.
Fig. 13.11: UART bit sequence
13.6.1 UART/RS-232 BUS Konfiguration
Prior to the BUS configuration it is necessary to set the correct logic level (threshold). Please refer to chapter 4.5. The default setting is 500 mV.
❙None: Use no parity bits
❙Even: The parity bit is set to “1” if the number of ones in a specific set of bits is uneven (without parity bit)
❙Odd: The parity bit is set to “1” if the number of ones in a specific set of bits is even (without parity bit)
The bottom soft menu key STOP BITS allows you to define the length of the stop bit (1 = single, 1.5 = 1 1/2 or 2 = double). On page 2|2 of the UART BUS setup menu, you can select the BIT RATE (symbol rate) via universal knob in the CURSOR/MENU section. The bit rate defines how many bits are sent per second. The soft menu key BIT
RATE allows you to select standard numeric values. Press the soft menu key USER if you wish to define customized rates via universal knob or numeric input (KEYPAD button).
The IDLE TIME describes the minimum time between the stop bit of the last data and the start bit of the new data.
The sole purpose of the idle time is to define the start of a transmission and consequently the exact start of a frame
(one or more symbols, most commonly bytes). Only this information can guarantee correct decoding and triggering
(regardless of the trigger type). A start bit within the idle time will not be recognized. You can enter the value via universal knob in the CURSOR/MENU section or numeric input (KEYPAD button).
To decode the UART BUS it is necessary to first determine which channel will be connected to the data line. This setting is selected after choosing the bus type UART in the
BUS menu and pressing the soft menu key CONFIGURA-
TION. In the menu that opens you can press the top soft menu key DATA SOURCE to select the desired channel via universal knob.
If the option R&S®HOO11 resp. the voucher R&S®HV111 is installed, it it only possible to select analog channels as source.
If the option R&S®HOO10 resp. the voucher R&S®HV110 is installed, both analog and digital channels are available as source.
The soft menu key ACTIVE can be used to determine if the data transferred to the BUS are active high (High = 1) or active low (Low = 1) (for RS-232, choose Low). Use the soft menu key SYMBOL SIZE and the universal knob to select a value between 5 bit to 9 bit for the bits that form a symbol. Another setting can be selected via soft menu key PARITY. Parity bits are used to detect errors during a transmission. The soft menu PARITY offers the following options:

Serial Bus Analysis
Press the FILTER button in the TRIGGER section of the control panel to list all available UART trigger conditions:
❙START BIT: Sets the start bit as trigger event. The start bit is the first 0 bit that succeeds a stop bit or idle time.
❙FRAME START: Defines the first start bit after idle time.
❙SYMBOL<N>: Assigns a predefined N-th symbol as trigger event.
❙ANY SYMBOL: The soft menu ANY SYMBOL allows you to define any symbol to trigger on. The symbol can be located anywhere within a frame. The serial bit sequence
(PATTERN INPUT) can be entered as binary or hexadecimal value. If you choose the binary input, the soft menu key SELECT BIT and the universal knob allow you to select which individual bits within the data are to be edited. Select the option STATE to assign a logic state to each bit (High = H = 1, Low = L = 0 or X = don’t care).
The state X defines any state. If you choose the hexa- decimal input, the soft menu key VALUE and the universal knob allow you to set the value for the respective symbol.
If the input is hexadecimal, only the entire symbol can be set to X. Use the soft menu key SELECT SYMBOL to toggle between symbols.
❙PATTERN: Offers additional options for UART trigger settings. The soft menu key SYMBOL OFFSET and the universal knob are used to select the number of irrelevant symbols that proceed the pattern within the frame that are relevant for the trigger event. Any value between 0 to
4095 symbols after the start bit may be entered. Use the soft menu key NUMB. OF SYMB. to select the number of relevant symbols as 1, 2 or 3. The number of symbol defines the pattern size. The symbol length (5 to 9 bit) was configured at the time of the bus definition and will be observed accordingly in the trigger menu. The value input for the symbols may be binary or hexadecimal (as described above). Use the soft menu key PATTERN
INPUT for this selection. If binary input is selected, the individual bits can be assigned via soft menu key SELECT
BIT and the universal knob. The soft menu key STATE allows you to determine the state for each bit (1, 0 or X).
If you choose the hexadecimal input, the soft menu key
VALUE and the universal knob allow you to set the value for the respective symbol. Use the soft menu key SELECT
SYMBOL to toggle between symbols. The active byte will be marked with a green border in the display window of the trigger condition.
❙PARITY ERROR: Trigger with a parity filter
❙FRAME ERROR: Trigger with a frame error
❙BREAK: Trigger with a break. The BREAK condition is fulfilled if a stop bit does not succeed a start bit within a specified time period. The stop bits low are active during the break.
Press the MENU OFF button three times to close all menus, and the oscilloscope will trigger on the set bit sequence. For measurements without measuring object please refer to chapter 10.2.5.

13 .7 CAN BUS
For CAN BUS trigger and decoding you need the R&S®HOO12 option or the upgrade voucher R&S®HV112.
The CAN bus (Controller Area Network) is a bus system primarily developed for automotive applications and is used for the data exchange between controller units and sensors. It can be found increasingly in the aviation, healthcare, and general automation industries. At the physical level, CAN is a differential signal, therefore a differential probe (e.g. HZO40) is recommended for decoding, although standard probes are equally suitable to capture the signals. The standard data rates range between 10 kBit/s and 1 MBit/s. A CAN message primarily consists of a start bit, the Frame ID (11 or 29 bit), the data length code
DLC, the data, a CRC, acknowledge and an end bit.

Serial Bus Analysis
13.7.1 CAN BUS Configuration
Prior to the BUS configuration it is necessary to set the correct logic level (threshold). Please refer to chapter 4.5. The default setting is 500 mV.
After choosing the BUS type CAN in the BUS menu the configuration menu will open after pressing the soft menu key CONFIGURATION. In the menu that opens you can press the top soft menu key DATA to select the desired channel via universal knob in the CURSOR/MENU section.
An analog or a digital channel can be connected to CAN-
High or CAN-Low. In addition, it is possible to connect a differential probe (e.g. HZO40) to an analog channel. When using a differential probe, select CAN High if the positive input of the probe is connected to CAN-H and the negative input to CAN L. If the probe is connected with reversed polarity, you must select CAN L.
Fig. 13.16: CAN BUS configuration
The soft menu key SAMPLE POINT allows you to specify the exact point within the bit at which the value for the current bit is sampled. You can select a value in percent
(25% to 90%) via universal knob or KEYPAD key in the
CURSOR/MENU section. The option BIT RATE defines how many bits are transmitted per second and allows you to select default data rates via universal knob. Use the soft menu key USER to specify user-defined bit rates. You can enter the value via universal knob or numeric input (KEY-
PAD button).
list all available CAN trigger conditions:
❙START OF FRAME: Triggers on the first slope of the SOF bit (synchronizing bit).
❙END OF FRAME: Triggers on the end of the frame.
❙FRAME: The submenu offers different options, like trigger on ERROR (general frame error), OVERLOAD (trigger on
CAN Overload frames) or DATA (trigger on data frames).
With the soft menu key READ/DATA you are able to trigger on read and data frames. With the soft menu key
IP TYPE the identifier type (11 bit, 29 bit or any.) can be selected.
❙ERROR S: Identifies various errors in a frame. This menu allows you to choose one or several error message types as trigger condition. Individual frame segments (e.g. frame start etc.) are coded during the bit stuffing procedure. The transmitter automatically adds a complimentary bit to the bit stream if it detects 5 consecutive bits with identical value in the bit stream to be transmitted. A “STUFF” error occurs if the 6th identical bit level is detected in the specified sections. A FORM error occurs if a fixed bit field contains one or several invalid bits. An authentication error occurs if the transmitter receives no authentication
(acknowledge). CAN BUS applies a complex checksum calculation (Cyclic Redundancy Check). The transmitter calculates the CRC and transmits the result in a CRC sequence. The receiver calculates the CRC in the same manner. A CRC error occurs if the calculated result deviates from the received CRC sequence.
❙IDENTIFIER: Identifies the priority and the logical address of a message. In the menu that opens you can press the top soft menu key to select the FRAME TYPE (general data, read data or read/write data) via universal knob. The soft menu IDENTIFIER SETUP below allows you to specify the length of the identifier type via soft menu key ID TYPE and universal knob (11 bit base or 29 bits for extended
CAN frames). The soft menu key COMPARE defines the comparison function. If the pattern includes at least one X
(don’t care), it is possible to trigger on a value equal or not equal to the specified value. If the pattern includes only 0 or 1, it is possible to trigger on an area greater than or less than the specified value. The PATTERN INPUT may be binary or hexadecimal. If you choose the binary input, the soft menu key BIT and the universal knob allow you to

The state X defines any state. If you choose the hexadecimal input, the soft menu key VALUE and the universal knob allow you to set the value for the respective byte. If the input is hexadecimal, only the entire byte can be set to X.
Use the soft menu key BYTE to toggle between bytes.
❙IDENTIFIER AND DATA: Includes the same settings as the soft menu IDENTIFIER. In the menu that opens you can select the FRAME TYPE (general data or read data) via top soft menu key and universal knob. In the menu
IDENTIFIER SETUP below you can enter the address of the respective pattern. The soft menu DATA SETUP allows you to specify the data bit pattern or HEX values for up to
8 bytes (only available if DATA was selected as frame type). Available comparisons for address and data values are GREATER, EQUAL OR LESS, EQUAL and NOT
EQUAL.
Press the MENU OFF button twice or three times to close all menus, and the oscilloscope will trigger on the set data.

13 .8 LIN BUS
For CAN BUS trigger and decoding you need the R&S®HOO12 option or the upgrade voucher R&S®HV112.
The LIN bus (Local Interconnect Network) is a simple master/slave bus system for automotive applications and is used for the data exchange between controller units and sensors or actuators. The signal is transmitted on one line with ground reference to the vehicle mass. A LIN BUS has the following properties:
❙Serial single-wire communication protocol (byte-oriented)
❙Master-slave communication (generally up to 12 knots)
❙Master-controlled communication (master initiates / coordinates communication)

LIN BUS applies a complex checksum calculation (Cyclic Redundancy Check). The transmitter calculates the CRC and transmits the result in a CRC sequence. The receiver calculates the CRC in the same manner. A CRC error occurs if the calculated result deviates from the received CRC sequence. With soft menu key PARITY triggering occurs on a parity error.
Parity bits are bit 6 and bit 7 of the identifier. The correct transfer of the identifier is verified. With the soft menu key SYNCHRONISATION triggering occurs if the synchronizing field indicates an error.
❙ID: With the soft menu key IDENTIFIER you can set the trigger to a specific identifier or a specific identifier range.
The soft menu key COMPARE defines the comparison function. If the pattern includes at least one X (don’t care), it is possible to trigger on a value equal or not equal to the specified value. If the pattern includes only 0 or 1, it is possible to trigger on an area greater than or less than the specified value. The PATTERN INPUT may be binary or hexadecimal. If you choose the binary input, the soft menu key BIT and the universal knob allow you to select which individual bits within the data are to be edited.
Select the option STATE to assign a logic state to each bit
(High = H = 1, Low = L = 0 or X = don’t care). The state X defines any state. If you choose the hexadecimal input, the soft menu key VALUE and the universal knob allow you to set the value for the respective byte.

14 Remote Control
The R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 series is equipped with a built-in interface card, which have an
Ethernet and USB connection on board as a standard.
To make any communication possible, the chosen interface and it’s correcponding settings must be the same in the PC as in the oscilloscope..
In addition to a LAN interface, the R&S®HMO1002 resp.
R&S®HMO1202 series includes a USB device port. For this interface, the user can select if the instrument is accessed via virtual COM port (VCP) or via USB TMC class.
14 .1 USB VCP
All currently available USB VCP drivers have been fully tested and released for Windows XP™, VISTA™, Windows 7™ and Windows 8™ (32 + 64 Bit).
The traditional version of the VCP allows the user to communicate with the measuring instrument using any terminal program via SCPI commands once the corresponding
Windows drivers have been installed. The actual USB-VCP driver can be downloaded from the ROHDE & SCHWARZ homepage www.rohde-schwarz.com for free. If a connection between PC and the instrument has been established and no R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 series USB-
VCP driver is installed, the operating system answers with
“Found New Hardware”. In addition, the “Found New
Hardware Wizard” is displayed. Only in this case the USB
VCP driver must be installed. Further information about the
USB VCP driver installation you can find in the installation guide internal of the driver file.
The following requirement for USB-VCP driver installation are necessary:
1 R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 with an activated USB-
VCP interface.
2 A PC with operating system Windows XP™, VISTA™, Windows 7™, Windows 8™ or Windows 10™ (32 or 64Bit).
3 Administrator rights are necessary for the installation of the driver. If an error message regarding spelling errors appears, the rights to install the driver are not given. In this case, please contact your IT department to obtain the necessary rights.
In addition, you may use the free software HMExplorer.
This Windows application offers the R&S®HMO1002 resp.
R&S®HMO1202 series a terminal function, the option to create screenshots and to sort the measured data storage.
14 .2 USB TMC
A modern alternative to the virtual COM port (VCP) is the control via USB TMC class. TMC stands for „Test &
Measurement Class“ which indicates that the connected measurement instrument can be recognized without
57
Remote Control
special Windows drivers if VISA drivers are installed and that it can be used directly in corresponding environments.
The GPIB interface serves as model to the structure of the
TMC design. A major benefit of the USB TMC class is that by sampling specific registers the user can determine if commands have been terminated and if they have been processed correctly. However, the communication via VCP requires analysis and polling mechanisms within the controlling software which may significantly strain the interface of the measurement instruments. The TMC status registers solve this problem with the USB TMC in the same manner as is the case with the GPIB interface for the hardware, namely via corresponding control lines.
The HMExplorer software does not support the communication via USB TMC.
Select “Next“ to start the installation and follow the installation instructions.
14.2.1 USB TMC Configuration
The R&S®HMO1002 resp. R&S®HMO1202 series require a generic USB instrument driver to be operated in USB-TMC mode. The USB Test & Measurement class (USB-TMC) is a protocol that enables GPIB-like communication via USB interfaces and a separate instrument class of the USB specification. The USB-TMC protocol supports service requests, trigger and other GPIB-specific commands. The driver is included in the NI-VISA package (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) and can be downloaded at http://www.
ni.com/downloads/ni-drivers/.
Fig. 14.2: NI-VISA installation instructions
In this step, please select “NI-VISA xxx —> Leave this feature and its subfeatures installed locally“.
You need to first install the NI-VISA drivers on your Windows system. Please download the most recent version of the NI-VISA driver package. Extract the previously downloaded driver package and follow the installation instructions.

14 .3 USB MTP
USB-MTP provides an easy solution to load data from the oscilloscope to the PC. This usually does not require a driver (according to Microsoft, USB MTP is automatically supported for Windows XP SP3 and higher). USB-MTP is unrelated to SCPI or the remote control of the instrument.
It is merely applied to transfer data in file format. If you select the USB MTP function on the oscilloscope and if the instrument is connected to a PC, the instrument will display in the PC Device Manager as portable instrument.
Fig. 14.6: Interface parameter menu
Finally, use a USB interface cable (type A – B) to connect the power supply with your Windows PC. On the first use, the operating system issues the following message:
“Found New Hardware”. Once the installation has been successfully completed, the following message will be displayed: “Device Setup” — “USB Test and Measurement
Device (IVI), ready to use“.

If a USB stick is connected to the oscilloscope, you can view the USB stick content via USB-MTP, or you can copy files to the PC. The USB stick displays as USB FRONT in the folder list. Contrary to the image preview in LIVE DATA which is only available via right click and the OPEN option, the image preview in USB FRONT is operational because the size indicated in Explorer corresponds to the actual file size. The file size in Explorer is overestimated at times to prevent Windows from simply truncating files while the PC is receiving them.
Fig. 14.12: Folder structure of LIVE DATA memory is only useful when the acquisition has been suspended, otherwise, only the screen data will be read. To continue acquisition while reading the data may result in curve data from different acquisitions.
Fig. 14.11: Folder display with USB stick
Sending files to the oscilloscope is only supported via UPLOAD drive. All other drives are read-only. There is no way to remove the write protection.
14 .3 .2 Upload
The UPLOAD folder is a temporary drive in the RAM of the oscilloscope. The content of this folder is purged when the instrument is turned off or restarted. This folder is intended to send specific files to the oscilloscope. If the PC copies a file into this folder, the oscilloscope will verify if this file can be loaded directly. The file transfer of .HDS and .SCP for instrument settings, .HLK for license keys and .HFU for firmware updates are supported. Other file transfers will be ignored. Instrument settings and license keys will be loaded without the PC requiring additional information. A firmware update must be started directly on the oscilloscope via soft menu key EXECUTE.
14 .3 .1 Live Data
The LIVE DATA folder contains several subfolders and files. Each time a screenshot is opened, a current snapshot will be taken and sent to the PC. Double-clicking the snapshot will open the image preview which, however, fails to function in combination with the R&S®HMO1002 or
R&S®HMO1202 series. Due to file compression, the size of the actual file sent is less than indicated in Explorer. This causes the image preview to issue an error. Therefore, screenshots can only be opened via right click and the
OPEN option. The Settings file supplies the current instrument settings in the respective format.
14 .4 Ethernet
For the direct connection with a host (PC) or indirect connection over a SWITCH, a doubly protected network cable (e.g. CAT.5, CAT.5e, CAT.5+, CAT.6 or CAT.7) is required, equipped with an Ethernet plug type the RJ-45 at each end. Either an uncrossed or a crossed network cable
(cross over cable) can be used.
The folders CHANNEL, BUS and POD contain two subfolders and a README.TXT. The subfolders contain files for the curve data in various formats. The files in the Acquisition Memory folder provide data from the acquisition memory, whereas the files in the DISPLAY DATA folder only provide visible curve data. The folders MATH and
REFERENCES only contain visible curve data and therefore no subfolders are available. The respective INFO.TXT files contain significant information relating to the curves, such as name, units, samples etc. The file content is generated while the file is being sent to the PC. It is therefore recommended to only read curve data when the acquisition has been suspended (STOP mode). Reading the acquisition
14 .4 .1 IP networks (IP – Internet protocol)
In order that two or several network elements (e.g. measuring instruments, host/PC‘s, …) can communicate over a network with one another, some fundamental connections have to be considered, so that data communication is error free and unimpaired. For each element in a network an
IP address has to be assigned, so that they can exchange data among themselves. IP addresses are represented
(with the IP version 4) as four decimal numbers separated by points (e.g. 192.168.15.1). Each decimal number is represented by a binary number of 8 bits. IP addresses are divided into public and private address ranges. Public IP addresses will be able to route by the Internet and an Internet service Provider (ISP) can to be made available. Public
IP addresses can be reached directly over the Internet to directly exchange internet data. Private IP addresses are not routed by the Internet and are reserved for private net-
60
Remote Control
works. Network elements with private IP addresses cannot be reached directly over the Internet so no data can be directly exchanged over the Internet. To allow network elements with a private IP address to exchange data over the Internet, they require a router for IP address conversion
(English NAT; Network address translation), before connection to the Internet. The attached elements can then data exchange over this router, which possesses a private
IP address (LAN IP address) and also a public IP address
(WAN IP address), via the Internet. router, Modem router, WLAN router, …) integrated. If a network element (e.g. an instrument) is connected by a network cable directly with a host (PC), the IP addresses cannot be assigned to the instrument and the host (PC) automatically, since no network with DHCP server is present here. They have to be preset therefore at the instrument and at the host (PC) manually.
If network elements exchange data only over a local network (without connection with the Internet), appropriate use private IP addresses. Select in addition e.g. a private IP address for the instrument and a private IP address for the host (PC), with which you would like to control the instrument. If you might connect your private network with the
Internet later via a router, the private IP addresses used in your local network can be maintained. Since within each
IP address range the first IP address is used as network
IP address and the last IP address is used as Broadcast IP address, in each case two IP addresses have to be taken off from the “number of possible host addresses“ (see table 1: Private IP address ranges). Apart from the organization of IP addresses into public and private address ranges, IP addresses are also divided into classes (Class: A,
B, C, D, E). Within the classes A, B, and C are also include the private IP of address ranges described before. The categorisation from IP addresses is for the assignment of public IP address ranges of importance and essentially depends on the size of a local network (maximum number of hosts in the network), which is to be connected with the
Internet (see table 2: Classes of IP addresses). IP addresses can fix (statically) or variable (dynamically) to be assigned.
If IP addresses in a network are assigned fix, an IP address must be preset manually with each network element. If IP addresses in a network are assigned to the attached network elements automatically (dynamically), a DHCP server
(English DHCP becomes; Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) is required for the dispatching of IP addresses.
With a DHCP server an IP address range for the automatic dispatching of IP addresses can be preset. A DHCP server is usually already integrated in a router (DSL router, ISDN
IP addresses are divided by using subnet mask into a network quota and into a host quota, so similarly e.g. a telephone number is divided in pre selection (land and local area network number) and call number (user number).
Subnet mask have the same form as IP addresses. They are represented with four decimal numbers separated by points (e.g. 255.255.255.0). As is the case for the IP addresses here each decimal number represents a binary number of 8 bits. The separation between network quota and host quota is determined by the subnet mask within an IP address (e.g. the IP address 192.168.10.10 by the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is divided into a network quota
192.168.10.0 and a host quota of 0.0.0.10). The allocation takes place via the transformation of the IP address and the subnet mask in binary form and afterwards a bit by bit one logical AND operation between IP address and subnet mask. The result is the network quota of the IP address.
The host quota of the IP address takes place via the bit by bit logical NAND operation between IP address and subnet mask. By the variable allocation of IP addresses in network quota and host quota via subnet masks, one can specify IP address ranges individually for large and small networks.
Thus one can operate large and small IP networks and connect if necessary to the Internet via a router. In smaller local networks the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is mostly used. Network quota (the first 3 numbers) and host quota
(the last number) are simple here without much mathematical expenditure to determine and it can with these subnet mask up to 254 network elements (e.g. measuring instruments, hosts/PC‘s…) in a network be operated at the same time.
Often also a standard gateway is present in a network. In most local networks is this gateway with the router to the

Remote Control
this (gateway -) router a connection can be manufactured with another network. Thus also network elements, which are not in the same (local) network, can be reached and/ or network elements from the local network are able to exchange data with network elements from other networks.
For a network-spreading data exchange the IP address of the standard gateway must also be preset. In local networks, mostly the first IP address within a network for this
(gateway -) router is used. Mostly routers in a local network to be used as gateway have an IP address with a „1“ in the last place of the IP address (e.g. 192.168.10.1).
14 .4 .2 Ethernet Settings
PC and instrument have to be connected to the same network.
Otherwise a remote connection is not possible.
In addition to the USB interface, the interface card includes an Ethernet interface. Configure the settings in the oscilloscope for all necessary parameters after you select
ETHERNET as interface and press the soft menu key PA-
RAMETER. You can specify all parameters and assign a fixed IP address. You can also assign a dynamic IP address with the activated DHCP function. Please contact your IT management to configure the settings properly.
If DHCP is used and the system cannot assign an IP address to the oscilloscope (for instance, if no Ethernet cable is connected or the network does not support DHCP), it may take up to three minutes until a timeout allows the interface to be configured again.
Fig. 14.9: Ethernet-settings dialog box
If the device has an IP address, it can be accessed via web browser at this IP since the Ethernet interface includes an integrated web server. Enter the IP address in the location bar on your browser (http//xxx.xxx.xxx.xx). This opens a window that includes the device name and type, serial number and interfaces with technical information and configured parameters.
