DESCRIPTION:
The Rohde & Schwarz MXO34 is the four-channel model within the MXO 3 Series and represents a significant advancement in oscilloscope architecture. Available in bandwidth configurations from 100 MHz through 200 MHz, 350 MHz, 500 MHz and 1 GHz, the MXO34 combines industry-leading waveform acquisition performance, true 12-bit vertical resolution, deep memory architecture, and advanced mixed-domain analysis capabilities in a compact benchtop platform.
At the core of the MXO34 is a custom-designed 12-bit analog-to-digital converter that operates at full resolution across all sample rates. Compared with conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes, this architecture delivers sixteen times greater vertical resolution, allowing engineers to identify low-level signal details, power rail ripple, switching noise, transient disturbances, jitter effects, and signal integrity issues with exceptional clarity. HD mode further increases effective vertical resolution to as much as 18 bits for precision measurement applications.
The oscilloscope supports sampling rates up to 5 GSa/s and provides 125 Mpoints acquisition memory per channel as standard. Optional upgrades expand memory depth to 500 Mpoints per channel. This deep memory architecture enables long-duration waveform captures while maintaining fine timing resolution, making the MXO34 highly effective for analysing embedded processors, communications interfaces, industrial control systems, power converters, high-speed digital buses, and complex transient events.
A defining feature of the MXO platform is its waveform acquisition performance. The MXO34 captures more than 4.5 million waveforms per second while maintaining up to 99% real-time signal visibility. This dramatically increases the probability of detecting intermittent faults, rare glitches, timing violations, protocol errors, and sporadic disturbances that may remain hidden on conventional oscilloscopes.
Integrated spectrum analysis performs up to 50,000 FFT calculations per second with independent time-domain and frequency-domain controls. Engineers can perform EMI investigations, harmonics analysis, RF troubleshooting, switching power supply development, and mixed-domain debugging without requiring a dedicated spectrum analyzer.
Advanced triggering capabilities include edge, pulse width, runt, glitch, timeout, setup-and-hold, logic, pattern, serial bus, zone, spectrum, and math triggering. Trigger sensitivity down to 0.0001 divisions, trigger rearm times below 21 ns, and trigger jitter as low as 1 ps provide exceptional event isolation capability.
The large 11.6-inch Full HD capacitive touchscreen provides extensive workspace for waveform analysis, protocol decoding, FFT measurements, automated measurements, and mixed-domain investigations. The platform can be expanded with optional 16-channel logic analysis, arbitrary waveform generation, protocol decoding packages, power analysis applications, automotive Ethernet analysis, and frequency response analysis functionality.
