Rohde & Schwarz Scope Rider handheld oscilloscope

Rohde & Schwarz has introduced the Scope Rider, a handheld oscilloscope with the functionality and touch and feel of a lab oscilloscope.

The device combines five instruments in a compact format, suitable for mobile installation and maintenance work, and features isolated input and communications interfaces. It comes equipped with a large-format capacitive touchscreen, allowing it to be operated as a tablet PC, along with large buttons for use with gloves and a practical multifunction wheel for convenient parameter adjustment.

The product also features an acquisition rate of 50,000 waveforms/s, a 10-bit A/D converter developed by Rohde & Schwarz and a maximum bandwidth of 500 MHz for the analog input channels. It is based on a high-performance oscilloscope with a precise digital trigger system, 33 automatic measurement functions, mask test and XY diagram mode. It can also function as a logic analyser with eight additional digital channels, as a protocol analyser with trigger and decoding capability, as a data logger or a digital multimeter.

It meets CAT IV standards and can carry out measurements on low-voltage installation sources up to 600 V and meets CAT III standards up to 1000 V. It also has an IP51-certified housing offering protection from environmental hazards such as dust and dripping water.
