monitoring
Digital voltmeter in the four-
channel instrument or digital
multimeter in the two-channel
instrument
Using the blue mode key, the
user can quickly switch between
the different instrument modes.
Instrument setups are automatically
applied when switching between
modes. For example, automatic
measurement functions can be
activated in oscilloscope mode –
switching to data logger mode takes
over the preset measurements and
starts data acquisition.
Suitable for individual
measurement
requirements
The R&S Scope Rider is available as
a two-channel or as a four-channel
instrument in five bandwidths from
60 MHz to 500 MHz. All instruments
can be configured as a mixed signal
oscilloscope with additional digital
inputs. Users can activate extra
options with a keycode to obtain
a measuring instrument tailored
exactly to their requirements: a
lab instrument with an intuitive
operating concept designed for
use in rugged environments. The
R&S Scope Rider offers much more
than other handheld instruments
on the market, yet it does not cost
more than a commercial handheld
oscilloscope with isolated inputs.
