R&S unveils compact MXO 3 oscilloscopes with 4 and 8 channels
Rohde & Schwarz expands its next-generation MXO oscilloscope portfolio with the compact four and eight channel MXO 3 series. The MXO 3 delivers fast and precise advanced MXO technology, previously available only in larger, higher-priced models.
All MXO 3 models come standard with up to 99 % real-time capture enabling users to instantly see more signal details and rare events. Like other MXO models, these oscilloscopes leverage MXO-EP processing ASIC technology developed by Rohde & Schwarz to deliver:
4.5 million acquisitions per second – allowing users to instantly detect additional signal detail and infrequent events.
600,000 trigger events per second with zone triggering – enabling users to isolate events in the time domain, including math and frequency domain signals.
50,000 FFTs per second – providing faster and more comprehensive analysis for applications such as EMI and harmonic testing.
600,000 math operations per second – allowing users to accurately analyze signals like power, which require multiplication of voltage and current.
Precise.
All MXO 3 models are engineered with advanced technology to ensure accurate measurement isolation:
12-bit vertical resolution in hardware at all sample rates allows users to observe small signal changes even of larger signals. This provides 16 times more resolution than traditional 8-bit oscilloscopes.
HD mode enhances signal details that would otherwise be buried in noise. It offers both noise reduction and up to 18 bits of vertical resolution – HD mode operates at full sample rate and is implemented in hardware, ensuring precision without sacrificing speed.
MXO 3 users can take advantage of the sensitive vertical scale setup to reveal more of their signal while minimising measurement system noise. MXO 3 oscilloscopes feature a wide ±3V offset at 1 mV/div on both 50 Ω and 1 MΩ input paths.
The MXO 3 series oscilloscopes are available in both four- and eight-channel models, with bandwidth options including 100 MHz, 200 MHz, 350 MHz, 500 MHz, and 1 GHz.
