--- Quote from: RBBVNL9 on November 12, 2024, 02:08:09 pm ---I noted that R&S are sending around information about their new RTB2 series osciloscopes - see the landing page here and the brochure here.

The model numbers are "R&S RTB22" the for two channel version, and "R&S RTB24" for the 4 channel version. On their website, they introduce these scopes as "a successor to the highly capable R&S RTB2000".

I quickly glanced through the brochure and specs, but I see almost no differences at all with the previous RTB scopes (except that segmented memory is now standard, not an option, and that there is a new model number printed on the instrument's front). I am quite sure I must have overlooked other things, but I am still wondering if there are any substantial updates here.

Also, the ordering numbers for the "old" RTB2002 and RTB2004 were 1333.1005.02 and 1333.1005.04, while the ordering numbers for the new RTB22 and RTV24 are..... the same (!)

Anyone seems more differences? Are there new interesting things here, or is this old wine in new bottles? (I do like old wine, though ;-)

best, Rudi

No differences as I can see. Will ask tomorrow on Electronica..

I hope this doesn't mean the end of RTB2K firmware maintenance.

I thought this was interesting. I wonder how true this is? Maybe if the scope hardware is exactly or almost exactly the same the firmware will continue to be backwards compatible. (Of course it doesn't matter how true this is if customers can't actually get access to firmware updates in the future).

Well, if that's true that is great news.

I do hope that someone posts the firmware (and updated user manual) here once it's available, because we've become persona non grata on the R&S website...

Hydron:
Is the segmented memory capacity a difference between 2k and 2? Marketing material talks about 260MPts vs the 2k with 160M.

And yes, the FW better come out somehow officially or otherwise. The distributor I bought from way back during the RTB2k release promo no longer exists, so unless the company that bought them is willing to help a random non-account customer from 7.5 years ago I'm out of luck.
