The R&S MXO 5 series oscilloscopes, available in four or eight channels, leverage the next-generation MXO-EP processing ASIC technology introduced with its predecessor, the R&S MXO 4, launched in 2022.
According to Rohde & Schwarz, the R&S MXO 5’s capability of 45,000 FFTs per second “provides engineers with unparalleled spectrum signal viewing, particularly for EMI and harmonic testing.”
In a statement Rohde & Schwarz said: “By capturing up to 99 percent of real-time signal activity with the fastest acquisition capture rate in the world, the R&S MXO 5 speeds up signal analysis while detecting rare and random events missed by most other oscilloscopes.
“The features let engineers debug designs more efficiently across multiple applications – from power conversion to automotive analysis – making power and signal integrity measurements as well as logic and bus protocol debugging a breeze.”
Oscilloscopes are electronic test instruments that display varying signal voltages in detail and monitor changes with sensors. They are used to manufacture, design, and repair electronics as well as for advanced analysis, communication mask testing and digital debugging of intermittent signals. They are also used in audio testing to visualize and analyze waveforms in audio signals.
Philip Diegmann, vice president of oscilloscopes at Rohde & Schwarz, said: “Today, we are excited to introduce the R&S MXO 5, continuing our legacy of oscilloscope excellence. Building on the same engineering breakthroughs, this oscilloscope series was meticulously designed by our dedicated development team to capture both the big picture and smallest details of electrical signals with unparalleled accuracy and speed.”
The device comes with a large 15.6" full-HD capacitive touchscreen and an intuitive user interface, and is available in four and eight-channel models, with bandwidth ranges from 100 MHz to 2 GHz.
The eight-channel models start as low as EUR 19 500, the industry’s lowest entry price in this instrument class, the company said.
