Rohde & Schwarz MXO 4 Series Oscilloscopes Introduction

MXO-EP processing ASIC
See more of your signals, faster
At the heart of each Rohde & Schwarz MXO 4 series oscilloscope is a Rohde & Schwarz developed application specific integrated circuit (ASIC): MXO-EP (extreme performance). MXO-EP processes 200 Gbit/s to deliver the world's fastest update rate of up to 4.5 million acquisitions/s. See and capture more of your signal, faster. Find rare signal anomalies quickly. Experience the most responsive oscilloscope in the industry.

12 bit ADC, 18 bit vertical architecture
Measure your signals accurately.
Measurement accuracy is highly dependent on the components in the signal path, e.g. amplifiers, samplers and A/D converters. The workhorse of the Rohde & Schwarz MXO 4 series is an extremely low noise signal path including a 12 bit ADC. High definition mode (HD) increases vertical resolution to industry best 18 bit architecture. Get accurate measurements all the time.

Responsive deep memory
Capture more of your signals.
Rohde & Scharz MXO 4 series oscilloscopes come equipped with the industry's deepest standard acquisition memory of 400 Mpoints per channel. Capture up to 80 ms of power up or power down sequences with the highest sample resolution of 200 ps. The memory controller in the MXO-EP ASIC ensures the oscilloscope stays responsive with deep memory.

Advanced digital triggering system
Easily isolate subtle signal variations.
MXO-EP ASICs incorporate advanced digital triggering that evaluates the A/D converter samples in the acquisition path in real time. Trigger on small events of less than 1/10000 vertical division that no other oscilloscope can isolate. Choose your own trigger hysteresis. Apply digital filters to suppress noise to get the most precise triggering available.

Easy trigger condition setup visually as standard feature
Designs are becoming more complex and predefined trigger conditions may no longer effectively capture needed events. The zone trigger on MXO series oscilloscopes can easily be drawn on signal diagrams to specify whether traces have to pass through defined areas to qualify. Simply activate the function on the toolbar and draw the area on an analog waveform, spectrum or even math to define complex trigger conditions.

Spectrum zone trigger
Rohde & Schwarz is the first in the industry to offer zone trigger capability for spectrum analysis. Starting with the R&S®RTO series, the MXO series has an even higher update rate for detecting spurious spectrum events. The responsive spectrum makes it ideal for EMI debugging. The fast zone trigger on the MXO series goes a step further and offers trigger capability across time, spectrum and even math waveforms.
