The instrument shows the waveform immediately, without waiting for the complete acquisition of the waveform record.
Page 42 ® Waveform Setup R&S RTC1000 Acquisition Setup ● No serial or parallel bus is active. If "PEAK DETECT" is set to "Auto", the instrument selects the best peak detection mode depending on the time base and sampling rate. The minimum and the maximum of each sampling interval are recorded as data pairs, and the other samples are discar- ded.
Page 43 ® Waveform Setup R&S RTC1000 Acquisition Setup The memory depth corresponds to the displayed time window (time base x 10 grid sec- tions 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.

Page 51: Pulse Trigger
® Trigger R&S RTC1000 Pulse Trigger 5.4 Pulse Trigger The pulse trigger finds specific pulse widths of positive or negative pulses or on pulse width ranges. If a pulse on the trigger source fulfills the trigger condition, the oscillo- scope triggers on the trailing slope. For a positive pulse, it triggers on the falling slope, and for a negative pulse on a rising slope.
Page 52: Logic Trigger
® Trigger R&S RTC1000 Logic Trigger POLARITY Sets the polarity, alternatively to the [SLOPE] key. For positive pulses, you define the width from rising to falling slopes, and accordingly for negative pulses from falling to rising slopes. Consequently, the trigger always occurs on the second slope of the pulse.

Nevertheless, standard probes are also 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 bit or 29 bit), the data length code DLC, the data, a CRC, acknowledge bit, and an end bit.

Page 351: Contents Of The Status Registers
® Status Reporting System R&S RTC1000 Contents of the Status Registers C.3 Contents of the Status Registers In the following sections, the contents of the status registers are described in more detail. C.3.1 Status Byte (STB) and Service Request Enable Register (SRE) The STatus Byte (STB) is already defined in IEEE 488.2.

Page 352 ® Status Reporting System R&S RTC1000 Contents of the Status Registers Bit No. Meaning MSS bit (master status summary bit) The bit is set if the instrument triggers a service request. This is the case if one of the other bits of this registers is set together with its mask bit in the service request enable register SRE.

Page 353 ® Status Reporting System R&S RTC1000 Contents of the Status Registers Bit No. Meaning User Request This bit is set when the instrument is switched over to manual control. Power On (supply voltage on) This bit is set on switching on the instrument. C.3.3 STATus:OPERation Register In the CONDition part, this register contains information on which actions the instru- ment is executing.

Page 355 ® Status Reporting System R&S RTC1000 Contents of the Status Registers Bit No. Meaning NOALigndata This bit is set if no alignment data is available - the instrument is uncalibrated. LIMit This bit is set if a limit value is violated (see Chapter C.3.4.3, "STATus:QUEStionable:LIMit reg- ister", on page 355).

This bit is set if the assigned mask is violated.

Page 357 ® Status Reporting System R&S RTC1000 Application of the Status Reporting System C.4.2 Serial Poll In a serial poll, just as with command *STB, the status byte of an instrument is queried. However, the query is realized via interface messages and is thus clearly faster. The serial poll method is defined in IEEE 488.1 and used to be the only standard pos- sibility for different instruments to poll the status byte.
