Rohde & Schwarz RTO digital oscilloscope software option

Developers of microcontrollers, audio components and audio equipment can use a software option for the R&S RTO digital oscilloscope to thoroughly analyse all audio interfaces.

I2S, LJ, RJ and TDM are serial buses that implement unidirectional point-to-point connections. They carry digital audio data between ICs and are often used to connect analog-to-digital converters and digital-to-analog converters to digital signal processors (DSP) for audio processing.

The option for the RTO high-performance oscilloscope addresses the complex requirements in the development of electrical components equipped with audio interfaces.

An extensive selection of protocol-specific trigger conditions provides the user with a high degree of flexibility when trying to detect specific data contents. The oscilloscope’s hardware-implemented triggers ensure high acquisition rates for fast measurements. Explanatory graphics and links to related settings simplify configuration. For ease of use when evaluating the test data, protocol details in the decoded bus signals are colour-coded and protocol data is summarised. A track function displays the decoded audio signal as an analog waveform. These features are designed to allow users to quickly and easily find design problems that cause clipping, glitches and other anomalies.
