The value is shown in the top information bar. Increase the scale to see a longer part of the waveform.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Waveform Setup Acquisition Control Reference Point Defines the time reference point in the diagram. You can set the reference point in the middle, or to the right to see the signal before the trigger, or the the left to see the signal after the trigger. Remote command: TIMebase:REFerence on page 165 2.4 Acquisition Control Acquisition settings define the processing of the captured samples in the instrument.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Waveform Setup Acquisition Control "Peak Detect" The minimum and the maximum of n samples are recorded as waveform points, the other samples are discarded. Thus the instrument can detect fast signal peaks at slow time scale settings that would be missed with other acquisition modes. "High Resolution" The average of n captured sample points is recorded as one waveform point. Averaging reduces the noise, the result is a more precise waveform with higher vertical resolution.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Waveform Setup Trigger 2.5 Trigger Triggering means to capture the interesting part of the relevant waveforms. Choosing the right trigger type and configuring all trigger settings correctly allows you to detect various incidents in signals. A trigger occurs if the trigger conditions are fulfilled. The instrument acquires continuously and keeps the sample points to fill the pretrigger part of the waveform record.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Waveform Setup Trigger Description of settings Trigger Mode The trigger mode determines the behavior of the instrument if no trigger occurs, and also the number of acquired waveforms when a trigger occurs. "Auto" The instrument triggers repeatedly after a time interval if the trigger conditions are not fulfilled. If a real trigger occurs, it takes precedence. This mode helps to see the waveform even before the trigger is set.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Waveform Setup Trigger For most trigger types, analog and digital channels can be used as trigger source. Digital channels require option R&S RTH-B1. For video, runt and slew rate trigger, only analog channels are available. Remote command: TRIGger:SOURce on page 169 Trigger Level Sets the trigger voltage level. For the Video/TV trigger, the trigger level is the threshold of the sync pulse. Make sure that the trigger level crosses the synchronizing pulses of the video signal.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Waveform Setup Trigger Remote command: TRIGger:HOLDoff:EVENts on page 170 Min Time / Max Time ← Holdoff Mode Set the time limits for random holdoff time. For each acquisition, the instrument selects a new random holdoff time from the specified range. Remote command: TRIGger:HOLDoff:MIN on page 170 TRIGger:HOLDoff:MAX on page 170 Noise Reject Enables a hysteresis to avoid unwanted trigger events caused by noise oscillation around the trigger level.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Waveform Setup Trigger 2.5.3 Glitch Trigger The glitch trigger detects pulses shorter or longer than a specified time. It identifies deviation from the nominal data rate and helps to analyze causes of even rare glitches and their effects on other signals. Description of settings Polarity Sets the pulse polarity, that is the direction of the first pulse slope. You can trigger on: ● ● ● Positive going pulses. The width is defined from the rising to the falling edge.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Waveform Setup Trigger 2.5.4 Width Trigger The width trigger compares the measured pulse width (duration of a pulse) with a given time limit.

R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure Syntax for Common Commands Annex A SCPI Command Structure SCPI commands consist of a so-called header and, in most cases, one or more parameters. The header and the parameters are separated by a "white space" (ASCII code 0 to 9, 11 to 32 decimal, e.g. blank). The headers may consist of several mnemonics (keywords). Queries are formed by appending a question mark directly to the header.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure Syntax for Device-Specific Commands A.2 Syntax for Device-Specific Commands Not all commands used in the following examples are necessarily implemented in the instrument. For demonstration purposes only, assume the existence of the following commands for this section: ● DISPlay[:WINDow<1...
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure Syntax for Device-Specific Commands Example: Definition: HCOPy:PAGE:DIMensions:QUADrant[] Command: HCOP:PAGE:DIM:QUAD2 This command refers to the quadrant 2. Different numbering in remote control For remote control, the suffix may differ from the number of the corresponding selection used in manual operation. SCPI prescribes that suffix counting starts with 1. Suffix 1 is the default state and used when no specific suffix is specified.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure SCPI Parameters Special characters | Parameters A vertical stroke in parameter definitions indicates alternative possibilities in the sense of "or". The effect of the command differs, depending on which parameter is used.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure SCPI Parameters Numeric values Numeric values can be entered in any form, i.e. with sign, decimal point and exponent. Values exceeding the resolution of the instrument are rounded up or down. The mantissa may comprise up to 255 characters, the exponent must lie inside the value range -32000 to 32000. The exponent is introduced by an "E" or "e". Entry of the exponent alone is not allowed. In the case of physical quantities, the unit can be entered.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure SCPI Parameters INFinity, Negative INFinity (NINF) represent the numeric values 9.9E37 or -9.9E37, respectively. INF and NINF are only sent as instrument responses. ● NAN Not A Number (NAN) represents the value 9.91E37. NAN is only sent as a instrument response. This value is not defined. Possible causes are the division of zero by zero, the subtraction of infinite from infinite and the representation of missing values.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure Overview of Syntax Elements Example: HCOP:ITEM:LABel "Test1" or HCOP:ITEM:LABel 'Test1' Block data Block data is a format which is suitable for the transmission of large amounts of data. A command using a block data parameter has the following structure: Example: FORMat:READings:DATA #45168xxxxxxxx The ASCII character # introduces the data block. The next number indicates how many of the following digits describe the length of the data block.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure Responses to Queries A.5 Structure of a command line A command line may consist of one or several commands. It is terminated by one of the following: ● a ● a with EOI ● an EOI together with the last data byte Several commands in a command line must be separated by a semicolon ";". If the next command belongs to a different command system, the semicolon is followed by a colon.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure Responses to Queries Example: HCOP:PAGE:ORI?, Response: LAND ● Maximum values, minimum values and all other quantities that are requested via a special text parameter are returned as numeric values. Example: SENSe:FREQuency:STOP? MAX, Response: 3.5E9 ● Numeric values are output without a unit. Physical quantities are referred to the basic units or to the units set using the Unit command. The response 3.5E9 in the previous example stands for 3.5 GHz.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Command Sequence and Synchronization Preventing Overlapping Execution B Command Sequence and Synchronization IEEE 488.2 defines a distinction between overlapped (asynchronous) and sequential commands: ● A sequential command finishes executing before the next command starts executing. Commands that are processed quickly are usually implemented as sequential commands.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Command Sequence and Synchronization Preventing Overlapping Execution Table B-1: Synchronization using *OPC, *OPC? and *WAI Command Action Programming the controller *OPC Sets the Operation Complete bit in the ESR after all previous commands have been executed. ● ● ● *OPC? Stops command processing until 1 is returned. This is only the case after the Operation Complete bit has been set in the ESR. This bit indicates that the previous setting has been completed.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Command Sequence and Synchronization Preventing Overlapping Execution *OPC? with short timeout 1. Send the overlapped command without *OPC, *OPC? or *WAI 2. Poll the operation complete state periodically (by means of a timer) using the sequence: ; *OPC? 3. A return value (LSB) of 1 indicates that the overlapped command has finished. In case of a timeout, the operation is ongoing. 4. Reset timeout to former value 5.
