Key Facts
The R&S®RTP and R&S®RTO oscilloscope supports serial triggering and decoding of 100BASE-T1 or BroadR-Reach and 1000BASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet standards. Efficiently trigger on frame start, Idle frames, MAC frames including destination & source address, frame types and on various error conditions. The MXO 4 series support 10BASE-T1S and MXO 5 series support both 10BASE-T1S and 100BASE-T1 decoding.
Bus setup in seconds with the Apps button
Starting from the Apps button or menu, it only takes a few steps to configure the automotive ethernet decoder. Once the appropriate channels are selected and the correct levels are set, decoding begins immediately.
App cockpit with selection for Protocol decoding
Easy access via R&S®RT-ZF5 test fixture
The R&S®RT-ZF5 test fixture allows users to decode both the forward and reverse data streams of either 100BASE-T1 or 1000BASE-T1 networks at the same time. Users can compensate the directivity of the fixture to obtain accurate decoding results.

Display of ternary symbols, scrambled, descrambled or reversed bits
The decoded Ethernet data can be analysed via various decode layers. For example, setting the oscilloscope to display ternary symbols to directly correlate the decoding to the captured analog waveform. Further analysis such as scrambled or descrambled bits are also possible.

Distinguish every Ethernet frame via simple colour coding
Colour-coding of the decoded Ethernet frames makes analysis of the captured data quick and easy. On top of that, all decoded data are perfectly overlaid in time with the captured analog waveform. Address and data content can be displayed in hex, bin or ASCII formats. The protocol details can additionally be displayed in a concise table. With the R&S®SmartGrid’s flexible screen setup, the best overview of the decoded data can be achieved in seconds.
All decoded frames are colour-coded
Trigger on frame start, idle frame, MAC frame or address and various error conditions
The protocol-aware trigger lets you reliably isolate specific protocol-based events and errors. Thanks to the high acquisition rates of R&S oscilloscopes, it makes them ideal for finding errors quickly and triggering on specific protocol fields such as idle frames, MAC address or data and various errors.

Powerful search and navigation capabilities on recorded acquisitions
Comprehensive search functions simplify the analysis of long signal sequences. Users can search the decoded data based on different criteria, such as a specific MAC address or a certain error condition. All detected events are shown in a table with timestamps. Applying a zoom function over the decode data to move through this table makes navigating through the events extremely easy.
Powerful search capability, even in long captures
