Rohde & Schwarz Scope Rider is the
only handheld oscilloscope on the
market with powerful triggering and
decoding capabilities and symbolic
labels.
Simple operation
In daily service and maintenance, it
is crucial to identify and solve root
causes of problems. Each additional
hour of work costs money and system
downtime can be costly. Equipment
for service and maintenance tasks
must therefore be especially easy
to use since there is no time for
long learning phases. This is why
particular attention was given to the
operating concept when developing
the handheld oscilloscope. The
touchscreen makes operation simple,
similar to a smartphone. Deep menu
levels were avoided and settings for
the most important functions can
be accessed directly via the keypad.
The extra-large keypad layout makes
the instrument easy to operate even
when wearing gloves.
For especially unpleasant or
dangerous measurement situations,
the oscilloscope can be controlled
directly from a web browser on a PC,
tablet or notebook via the integrated
WLAN module. The oscilloscope can
then be conveniently and safely
operated from afar.
Five instruments
integrated into a single
handheld oscilloscope
Troubleshooting in the field often
requires a variety of measurement
functions. This is why the R&S
Scope Rider integrates four essential
measuring instruments in addition to
the oscilloscope function:
Logic analyzer with eight
additional digital channels
Protocol analyzer with trigger and
decoder functionality for debugging
serial protocols
Data logger for long-term

by inadvertent swapping of ground and signal wires at two
oscilloscope inputs. Power electronics measurements can be

detect power quality problems. Brief power supply interruptions
due to poor contacts are quickly detected with the pulse width
trigger. Source: Rohde & Schwarz
