Due to the large number of available USB devices, there is almost no limit to the expansions that are possible with the R&S RTO.
The following USB devices can be useful, for example:
USB flash drives to save screenshots and measurement results, and for easy installation of firmware applications
Keyboard and/or mouse to simplify the operation and the entry of data, com­ments, filenames, etc.
You can connect or disconnect all USB devices during operation of the instru­ment.
Installing USB devices on R&S RTO is easy under the Windows operating sys­tem, because all USB devices are plug&play. After a device is connected to the USB interface, Windows automatically searches for a suitable device driver.

Connecting external devices
If the operating system does not find a suitable driver, it prompts you to specify a directory that contains the driver software. If the driver software is on a storage media, connect the appropriate drive to the instrument before proceeding. If the instrument is integrated in a network, you can also install driver data stored in a network directory.
When a USB device is disconnected from the R&S RTO, Windows immediately detects the change in hardware configuration and deactivates the corresponding driver.
The properties of external USB devices are configured in the operating system, not in the R&S RTO software. It is recommended that you use mouse and key­board to access and modify the settings of the Windows operating system.
To access Windows, press the Windows key on the external keyboard, or select "Menu" > "Minimize Application" on the R&S RTO menu.

4.8.2 Connecting an external monitor

You can connect an external monitor or projector to the R&S RTO. The following connectors are available:
"DVI-D" on page 30
"DisplayPort" on page 29
Before connecting an external monitor, ensure that the monitor and the R&S RTO are connected to a ground contact. Otherwise the instrument can be damaged.
After connecting an additional monitor or projector to the instrument, configure it for usage. The relevant settings are Windows settings but you can configure the displays directly in the instrument setup.
1. Check the input type of the monitor or projector. Make sure to select the cor­rect cable. To use a VGA monitor, you need an active DVI-D to VGA adapter.
2. Open "Menu" > "Settings" > "Display".
3. Select the "Monitors" tab.
4. Select how to display the screen.
5. To access Windows display settings, tap "Additional settings".
The touchscreen of the R&S RTO has a screen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixel. Many external monitors have a higher screen resolution. If the screen resolution of the monitor is set higher than the instrument's resolution, the application win­dow uses a 1280 x 800 area of the monitor display. For full screen display, adjust the monitor's screen resolution using "Additional display settings".
