To install the license key on the R&S RTO/RTO6/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 RTO/RTO6/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.
For some test cases, you need an additional instrument: arbitrary waveform generator
(AWG), vector network analyzer (VNA), or spectrum analyzer. These instruments can
be used in automatic or manual mode. For automatic testing, a LAN connection to the
additional instrument is required.
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.
11User Manual 1317.7202.02 ─ 16

Connecting the Arbitrary Waveform Generator
If the connection fails, an error message is shown.
2.6 Connecting the Arbitrary Waveform Generator
For Ethernet tests using a disturber, an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is
required. The tests can be performed manually or automatically, depending on the
available AWG.
Automatic test execution is possible with all instruments that are listed in the R&S ScopeSuite, in the "Instrument Settings" dialog box. In automatic mode, the R&S ScopeSuite configures the instrument and ensures that the AWG sends the required waveforms. Automatic mode requires a LAN connection and the installation of a VISA implementation (R&S VISA, see www.rohde-schwarz.com/rsvisa) on the computer that is
running the R&S ScopeSuite. If the R&S ScopeSuite is installed on the R&S RTO/
RTO6/RTP, no installation is needed because VISA is already installed on the instrument. If the Tabor WX2182B or WX2182C is used for automatic testing, fixed IP
addresses are required.
For manual test execution, it is recommended to use one of the listed AWGs, but you
can also use another AWG. In manual mode, you connect the AWG to the test board
and configure the instrument manually. VISA is not required. The R&S ScopeSuite
uses VISA if it is installed, otherwise it uses the VXI-11 protocol.
To configure the arbitrary waveform generator for automatic testing
1. Connect the computer and the AWG.
2. Set up the LAN connection. See Chapter 2.3, "Setting Up the Network",
on page 11.

If you resume an existing session, new measurements are appended to the report,
new diagrams and waveform files are added to the session folder. Existing files are not
deleted or replaced. Sessions data remain until you delete them in the "Results" tab of
the session.
The report format can be defined in "RSScopeSuite" > "Settings" > "Report" for all
compliance tests (see also Chapter 2.9, "Report Configuration", on page 18). If you
want to use special report settings for a session, you can define the format and contents of the report in the "Report Config" tab of the session.
All test results are listed in the "Results" tab. Reports can be provided in PDF,
MSWord, or HTML format. To view and print PDF reports, you need a PDF viewer, for
example, the Acrobat Reader.
The test report file can be created at the end of the test, or later in the "Session Selection" dialog.

Pair
Select which cable pair is used.
Signals
Selects the oscilloscope channels for the pair testing.
Average Count
Defines the number of waveforms which the oscilloscope acquires to calculate the
average waveform (average count).
Increasing the number of waveforms results in more accurate measurement results but
also in longer test execution time. If you are unsure, use the default values. The valid
range is 5 to 200. The default value is 10.
Measurement Time
Sets the measurement time. The valid range is 50E-9 to 100E-3, the default value is
100E-3.
Voltage Attenuation
The voltage attenuation is used for all 1000BASE-T EEE test cases.
Voltage attenuation sets how many times the voltage attenuates after going through
directional coupler on the test fixture. The default value is a theoretical value and works
well for R&S RT-ZF5. It is not suggested to be changed for all time unless a value is
confirmed from careful calibration.
