Key facts
The R&S®RTO and R&S®RTP oscilloscopes support triggering and decoding of all USB1.1 / 2.0/ 3.2 Gen 1/2, HSIC/SSIC and Power Delivery (PD) signals. You can set up the decoding within seconds. For detailed analysis, results can be viewed as color-coded protocol components and/or in table format. Errors are identified reliably and efficently using the hardware-accelerated trigger. You can trigger on protocol details such as frame start, frame content and errors.
Bus setup in seconds starting from the app cockpit
Starting from the oscilloscope's app cockpit, it only takes a few steps to configure the respective USB protocol. Once the protocol for decoding has been chosen, the connected channels selected and the correct levels set, decoding begins automatically.
Easy and fast setup for decoding USB 3.2 Gen2
Protocol display as color-coded bus signals and in decode table
You can analyze the decoded protocol frames versus the original wavefrom by overlaying the waveform signal with color-coded protocol data. Address and data content can be displayed in hex, bin or ASCII format. Arrange the best overview on the display with the R&S SmartGrid. The protocol can also be displayed in a concise table.
Decoded USB 3.2 Gen1 protocol frames are color coded for easier grasping of details.
Strong trigger capability on start, stop, address, data and various error conditions
The protocol-specific trigger let you reliably isolate protocol events and errors. Thanks to high acquisition rates, Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes are ideal for finding errors quickly. The hardware-based triggering is available on specific protocol content, e.g. addresses, data and protocol errors.
Select from various USB-PD protocol packet types for triggering.
Search and navigate on recorded acquisitions
Comprehensive search functions simplify the analysis of long signal sequences. You can search for waveforms based on different criteria, such as signal faults or protocol content. All detected events are shown in a table with timestamps. The individual events can be examined in a zoom window with simple navigation between events.
Powerful searching, even in long recordings. Example of a USB 3.2 Gen 2 signal.
