Rohde & Schwarz RTO-K24 compliance test software for Ethernet

Rohde & Schwarz has expanded the application field of the R&S RTO oscilloscopes to include the testing of automotive Ethernet interfaces. In line with the OPEN Alliance test specification, the R&S RTO-K24 compliance test software enables users to perform automated tests on BroadR-Reach Ethernet interfaces.

BroadR-Reach technology makes it possible to combine multiple applications such as video streaming from rear-view cameras and signal transmission from automotive radar systems to create a single, open and scalable Ethernet network inside the vehicle.

The R&S RTO features a dynamic range of more than seven effective bits (ENOB) and delivers reliable results even during standard-specified interference tests. Users can reliably test their products during type testing and in production. The signal quality of the BroadR-Reach Ethernet interfaces can be verified using output drop tests, for example, enabling users to test the signal characteristics of the BroadR-Reach telegram.

The R&S RTO-K24 compliance test software includes image-based instructions, which provide step-by-step support during measurements. Configurations are created automatically, and results are documented in a straightforward test report.
