DESCRIPTION:

The Rohde & Schwarz MXO44-2410 is a high-performance four-channel oscilloscope within the MXO 4 Series, delivering 1 GHz bandwidth while incorporating Rohde & Schwarz's latest oscilloscope architecture. The platform combines industry-leading waveform acquisition performance, true 12-bit vertical resolution, deep acquisition memory, integrated spectrum analysis, and advanced triggering capabilities in a compact laboratory instrument.

At the core of the MXO44-2410 is a true 12-bit analog-to-digital converter operating at full resolution across all sampling rates. Compared with conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes, the architecture provides sixteen times greater vertical resolution, allowing engineers to observe low-level signal details, jitter, power rail noise, transient disturbances, switching artefacts, and signal integrity issues with substantially greater clarity. HD mode further increases effective resolution to as much as 18 bits for precision measurement applications.

The oscilloscope supports sampling rates up to 5 GSa/s and provides 400 Mpoints acquisition memory per channel as standard. This deep memory architecture allows long-duration waveform captures while maintaining fine timing resolution, making the instrument particularly effective for analysing high-speed serial buses, FPGA systems, embedded processors, communications interfaces, switching power supplies, and transient events.

A defining feature of the MXO 4 platform is its waveform acquisition performance. The MXO44-2410 captures more than 4.5 million waveforms per second while maintaining up to 90% real-time signal visibility. This dramatically improves the probability of detecting rare glitches, intermittent faults, 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 using dedicated acquisition hardware. Time-domain and frequency-domain measurements can operate simultaneously, allowing efficient EMI investigations, harmonics analysis, RF troubleshooting, switching power supply development, and mixed-domain debugging.

Advanced digital triggering capabilities include edge, pulse width, runt, glitch, timeout, setup-and-hold, logic, serial bus, zone, spectrum, and math triggering. Trigger jitter below 1 ps and trigger rearm times below 21 ns provide exceptional event isolation performance for demanding validation and troubleshooting applications.

The large 13.3-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 mixed-signal capability, arbitrary waveform generation, protocol analysis packages, power analysis tools, and frequency response analysis functionality.
