Superior Performance: A Lab Oscilloscope in a Handheld Package
Lab Oscilloscope Performance
When debugging embedded devices in the lab or analyzing complex problems in the field, the R&S Scope Rider offers the performance and capabilities of a lab oscilloscope as well as the form factor and ruggedness of a battery-operated handheld device.
Small sensor signals can be analyzed with an excellent vertical sensitivity of 2 mV/div. Triggering on protocol events and decoding protocol data enables convenient debugging of digital control signals. A digital trigger system provides the best trigger sensitivity available in a handheld oscilloscope, and 14 trigger types give the flexibility required to capture exactly the right signal. With 33 automatic measurement functions, the R&S Scope Rider delivers the capabilities of a lab oscilloscope when analyzing signal parameters.
Safe Measurements on Power Electronics
Analyzing modern electric drive systems requires measuring motor voltages and currents while analyzing digital control signals. Safety is a key consideration for such measurements.
The R&S Scope Rider offers up to four isolated input channels with CAT IV 600 V rating that allow measurements on high-voltage electronics without compromising safety. Digital control signals can be analyzed with the 8-bit logic interface that is isolated from the analog input channels. The protocol trigger and decode capability of the R&S Scope Rider is unprecedented in handheld oscilloscopes and provides direct display of decoded messages.
High-speed acquisition system with deep history: Never miss rare faults again
Capturing and analyzing rare anomalies in electric signals is a typical use case when debugging electronic systems. With an acquisition rate of up to 50 000 waveforms per second – more than 1000 times faster than conventional handheld oscilloscopes – the R&S Scope Rider sees signals other scopes miss. Rare faults in signals can be reliably captured and analyzed.
In history mode, the instrument automatically stores up to 5000 waveforms in a separate history buffer. At any point in time, acquisition can be stopped and any waveform in the history buffer can be analyzed using the full oscilloscope functionality. One-time anomalies that would have been missed by a conventional handheld oscilloscope can now be analyzed in detail.
