Rohde & Schwarz

Rohde & Schwarz, a German company with roots dating to the 1930s, makes oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and RF test equipment used in electronics design, EMC testing, and telecommunications work. Their RTO6 series oscilloscope combines a 15.6-inch touchscreen with 16-bit vertical resolution and up to 6 GHz bandwidth, processing up to 1 million waveforms per second through an in-house designed ASIC that keeps analysis functions running without slowing measurement speed. WestCalibration is an authorized Rohde & Schwarz dealer.

Why Choose Rohde & Schwarz

• RTO and RTO6 series oscilloscopes process up to 1 million waveforms per second, among the fastest acquisition rates available, catching rare signal faults other scopes miss
• 16-bit vertical resolution (18-bit in HD mode) on the MXO4 series reveals fine signal detail that lower-resolution oscilloscopes can’t resolve
• Built-in multichannel spectrum analysis on RTP, RTO6, RTM3000, and Scope Rider oscilloscopes adds frequency-domain analysis without a separate instrument
• Bandwidth-upgradable oscilloscope models let a lab start with a lower bandwidth and unlock higher tiers later via license rather than replacing hardware

Why Buy Rohde & Schwarz from WestCalibration

Everything here comes from stock we hold ourselves rather than a third-party dropship arrangement. Their line is available in our signal generators category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the RTO6’s 1 million waveforms/second rate actually mean for troubleshooting? It means the oscilloscope spends less time “blind” between acquisitions, making it more likely to capture a rare, intermittent signal fault during a debug session.

Can Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes perform spectrum analysis without a separate analyzer? Yes, several models include built-in multichannel spectrum analysis functions operated directly from the oscilloscope interface.
