Discover the new oscilloscope series from Rohde & Schwarz.
The new MXO4 series impresses with its high performance while offering an optimal price-to-performance ratio.
With extremely high waveform update rates of more than 4.5 million waveforms per second, you can visualize your signals faster. Whether performing hardware debugging, serial bus analysis, power analysis, EMC debugging, or power integrity testing, the MXO4 is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its 12-bit A/D converter delivers precise measurements even at the highest sample rates. The standard memory of 400 Mpoints per channel can be expanded up to 800 Mpoints.
The highly precise digital trigger technology, with a sensitivity of 0.0001 Div, helps you detect even the smallest anomalies. Combined with intuitive touch operation and user-friendly navigation, the MXO4 offers a compelling overall package: see why the MXO4 could be the right choice for your applications.
Below you’ll find a closer look at the main features.
The new MXO4 oscilloscope can acquire, process, and display up to 4.5 million waveforms per second. This is made possible by a dedicated, integrated ASIC: MXO-EP optimizes signal processing and achieves this exceptionally high, unprecedented update rate.
What makes it unique: even with active automatic measurements, FFTs, or cursor measurements, the MXO4 maintains consistently high update rates. Thanks to the MXO-EP, deep-memory acquisition analysis is smooth and reliable.
The MXO4 features a 12-bit A/D converter, providing 4,096 quantization levels—a 16-fold improvement over conventional 8-bit converters—enabling extremely high resolution. The ADC operates in 12-bit mode even at the highest sample rates.
In HD mode, the MXO4 achieves up to 18 bits, allowing users to select the optimal trade-off between bandwidth and resolution bits. This results in sharper waveforms and more visible signal details that would otherwise be obscured by noise. Additionally, the MXO4 delivers the lowest system noise in the industry, just 22 μV AC (rms) at 1 mV/Div.
Memory depth determines the duration over which the oscilloscope can record signals. A larger memory allows the oscilloscope to maintain maximum sample rate and bandwidth even at slower timebase settings.
The MXO4 features the industry’s deepest standard memory of 400 Mpoints. Segmented memory enables capturing signals in up to 10,000 segments. For even longer acquisition times, memory can be expanded to 800 Mpoints (2 channels interleaved), allowing up to 1,000,000 segments and capturing up to 1,000,000 waveforms.
Digital triggering offers numerous advantages, such as separating signal measurement and triggering into two paths, unlike conventional single-path analog triggers. The MXO4’s patented trigger system achieves an industry-leading sensitivity of 0.0001 Div—up to 10,000 times more sensitive than other systems. This enables users to isolate hard-to-detect anomalies at the bit transmission layer, even in the presence of stronger signals, significantly accelerating analysis and debugging.
The MXO4 also provides flexible trigger configuration, including selectable trigger noise rejection. Users can apply automatic trigger hysteresis or set values manually. Unlike analog triggers, full access to all hysteresis settings is available.
Efficient operation with smart-device concepts is essential for modern instruments, and the MXO4 excels in this regard. With a learning curve of only 15 minutes, it offers excellent usability. The high-resolution 13.3-inch multi-touch display shows even the smallest signal details, while compact workspaces and logically arranged menus maximize screen space for waveforms.
Unique in the industry: quick access to preferred functions via a customizable toolbar. Users can arrange, add, or remove icons for cursors, measurements, spectrum views, and more. The MXO4 can also be remotely controlled, with the oscilloscope display mirrored on a PC or mobile device, showing the same user interface as the instrument itself.
