R&S adds power analysis options to scope family

Developers can use the R&S RTO-K31 or R&S RTM-K31 option to automatically perform all major quality analyses and document the measurement results. The new power analysis options also provides users with specialised measurement functions for automatically testing the quality of switching power supplies – including the mains voltage quality of the input range, the safe operating area of the switching transistor and the magnitude and spectrum of the output ripple. A measurement wizard guides the user through all measuring steps and provides diagrams illustrating where to connect current probes and other probes to the device under test. The R&S RT-ZF20 power deskew fixture allows automatic delay correction between the signals of the current probe and the voltage probe. The documentation feature also helps users manage the measurement results and save the measurement documentation in RTF or PDF format.
