the Release Notes.
The R&S ScopeSuite main panel has several areas:
●
"Settings": connection settings to oscilloscope and other instruments also default
report settings
●
"Compliance Tests": selection of the compliance test
●
"Demo": accesses demo test cases that can be used for trying out the software
without having a connection to an oscilloscope
●
"Help": opens the help file, containing information about the R&S ScopeSuite configuration
●
"About": gives information about the R&S ScopeSuite software
●
"Tile View": allows a personalization of the compliance test selection
You can configure which tests are visible in the compliance test section and which
are hidden, so that only the ones you use are displayed.
► To hide a test from the "Compliance Tests" view, do one of the following:

2 Preparing the Measurements
2.1 Test Equipment
Preparing the Measurements
Installing Software and License
For HDMI compliance tests, the following test equipment is needed:
●
R&S RTP with 4 channels and minimum 8 GHz bandwidth
●
R&S RTP-K101 HDMI compliance test option (required option, installed on the
R&S RTP)
●
2 modular probes, R&S ZM160 with 9 GHz bandwidth.
●
2 modular probe tips R&S RT-ZMA40
●
HDMI Termination Module and a HDMI TPA adapter
●
EDID Emulator
●
The free-of-charge R&S ScopeSuite software, which can be installed on a computer or directly on the R&S RTP.
2.2 Installing Software and License
The preparation steps are performed only once for each computer and instrument that
are used for testing.
Uninstall older versions of the R&S ScopeSuite
If an older version of the R&S ScopeSuite is installed, make sure to uninstall the old
version before you install the new one. You can find the version number of the current
installation in "Help" menu > "About". To uninstall the R&S ScopeSuite, use the Windows " Control Panel" > "Programs".
For best operation results, we recommend that the installed firmware versions of the
R&S ScopeSuite and the oscilloscope are the same.
To install the R&S ScopeSuite
1. Download the latest R&S ScopeSuite software from the "Software" section on the
Rohde & Schwarz R&S RTP website:
www.rohde-schwarz.com/product/rtp.html
www.rohde-schwarz.com/product/rto.html
2. Install the R&S ScopeSuite software:
● On the computer that is used for testing, or
● On the R&S RTP.
For system requirements, refer to the Release Notes.

Preparing the Measurements
To install the license key on the R&S RTP
► When you got the license key of the compliance test option, enable it on the oscil-
loscope using [Setup] > "SW Options".
For a detailed description, refer to the R&S RTP user manual, chapter "Installing
Options", or to the online help on the instrument.
2.3 Setting Up the Network
If the R&S ScopeSuite software runs on a test computer, the computer and the testing
oscilloscope require a LAN connection.
There are two ways of connection:
●
LAN (local area network): It is recommended that you connect to a LAN with DHCP
server. This server uses the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to
assign all address information automatically.
If no DHCP server is available, or if the Tabor WX2182B or WX2182C is used for
automatic testing, assign fixed IP addresses to all devices.
●
Direct connection of the instruments and the computer or connection to a switch
using LAN cables: Assign fixed IP addresses to the computer and the instruments
and reboot all devices.
Starting the R&S
ScopeSuite
To set up and test the LAN connection
1. Connect the computer and the instruments to the same LAN.
2. Start all devices.
3. If no DHCP server is available, assign fixed IP addresses to all devices.
4. Ping the instruments to make sure that the connection is established.
5. If VISA is installed, check if VISA can access the instruments.
a) Start VISA on the test computer.
b) Validate the VISA address string of each device.

2.4 Starting the R&S ScopeSuite
To start the R&S ScopeSuite on the test computer or on the oscilloscope:
► Double-click the R&S ScopeSuite program icon.

Preparing the Measurements
To start the R&S ScopeSuite on the instrument, in the R&S RTP firmware:
► In the "Apps" dialog, open the "Compliance" tab.
2.5 Connecting the R&S RTP
If the R&S ScopeSuite is installed directly on the instrument, the software detects the
R&S RTP firmware automatically, and the "Oscilloscope" button is not available in the
R&S ScopeSuite.
If the R&S ScopeSuite software runs on a test computer, the computer and the testing
oscilloscope require a LAN connection, see Chapter 2.3, "Setting Up the Network",
on page 8. The R&S ScopeSuite software needs the IP address of the oscilloscope to
establish connection.
1. Start the R&S RTP.
2. Start the R&S ScopeSuite software.
3. Click "Settings" > "Oscilloscope".
Connecting the R&S
RTP
4. Enter the IP address of the oscilloscope.
To obtain the IP address: press the Rohde & Schwarz logo at the top-right corner
of the oscilloscope's display.
5. Click "Get Instrument Information".
The computer connects with the instrument and gets the instrument data.
