DESCRIPTION:

The Rohde & Schwarz MXO58-1000 combines eight analogue channels and 1 GHz bandwidth within the advanced MXO 5 Series platform. Designed for engineers who require simultaneous visibility across numerous high-speed signals, the instrument delivers industry-leading acquisition performance, deep memory, high vertical resolution, and advanced spectrum analysis capabilities in a single integrated platform.

At the core of the MXO58-1000 is Rohde & Schwarz's advanced 12-bit analog-to-digital converter architecture. Operating at full resolution across all sample rates, the system provides sixteen times greater vertical resolution than conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes. Combined with HD mode delivering up to 18-bit effective resolution and up to 10-bit ENOB performance, engineers can accurately analyse low-level signal behaviour, power rail ripple, jitter, transient disturbances, switching artefacts, and signal integrity issues that would otherwise remain difficult to observe.

The oscilloscope supports sampling rates up to 5 GSa/s and provides 500 Mpoints acquisition memory per channel as standard across all eight channels. Optional memory expansion increases total recording capacity to 1 Gpoint, enabling long-duration captures while maintaining fine timing resolution. This architecture is particularly valuable for FPGA validation, embedded processor debugging, communications systems development, protocol analysis, and transient event investigation.

A defining feature of the MXO 5 platform is its waveform acquisition performance. The MXO58-1000 captures more than 4.5 million waveforms per second while simultaneously supporting spectrum acquisition rates exceeding 50,000 FFT calculations per second. This dramatically improves the probability of detecting intermittent faults, timing violations, rare glitches, protocol anomalies, and sporadic disturbances that may remain hidden on slower oscilloscope architectures.

The MXO58 platform incorporates advanced multispectrum analysis functionality, allowing up to four independent spectrum windows to operate simultaneously. Engineers can analyse EMI emissions, RF activity, harmonics, switching power supplies, clock systems, and mixed-domain interactions without requiring a dedicated spectrum analyzer. Independent time-domain and frequency-domain controls provide exceptional flexibility during troubleshooting and validation activities.

Advanced digital triggering includes edge, pulse width, runt, glitch, timeout, setup-and-hold, serial bus, logic, zone, spectrum, and math triggering. Trigger sensitivity down to 0.0001 divisions enables reliable detection of extremely small signal anomalies even in the presence of much larger signals.

The large 15.6-inch Full HD capacitive touchscreen provides extensive workspace for simultaneous viewing of eight analogue channels, decoded protocols, FFT measurements, automated measurements, and spectrum displays. The platform supports optional mixed-signal capability, arbitrary waveform generation, protocol analysis, power analysis, frequency response analysis, automotive Ethernet analysis, and aerospace communications protocol decoding.
