• Clock data recovery
• Clock data recovery of embedded clocks in realtime using the RTO-K13 option
• Support of hardware based serial pattern trigger with data rates between 100kbit/s and 2.5 Gbit/s

A number of serial interfaces use an embedded clock. The receiver must recover the clock signal from the transmitted signal using clock data recovery. The RTO-K13 clock data recovery option simplifies characterization of these types of signals. It is part of the unique digital trigger architecture of the RTO2000 and permits realtime clock recovery. As a result, eye and histogram measurements can be run continuously over a long period of time without postprocessing.

The advantage: the hardware-based clock data recovery functions at the full acquisition rate without any restriction of the oscilloscope functions. A unique feature is the option to display the recovered embedded clock and analyze it in detail using all jitter measurements.
