15 Oct R&S®MXO3: Fast. Precise. Compact.
Rohde & Schwarz presents the MXO3 oscilloscope, the new member of the “neXt generation” oscilloscopes.
Fast. Precise. Compact.
Until now, 3000-class oscilloscopes have only captured a small fraction of real-time signal activity, struggled to isolate small details in the presence of larger signals and made trade-offs between performance and size.
This is all changing with the MXO 3. The latest addition to Rohde&Schwarz‘s MXO Series promises to be faster, more precise and pack more features into a smaller footprint, offering a combination of specs that you will not find anywhere else.
The specifications for both, the 4 and 8 channel variants, position the R&S®MXO 3 series as the industry leader in its class.
Subscribe to our channelExperience the power of precision in a compact form with the R&S®MXO 3 Series oscilloscope. Designed to deliver big performance in a small package, it gives you instant, expert-level insight into your device under test — faster and easier than ever before.
Powered by next-generation MXO technology, the MXO 3 Series redefines speed and accuracy. With the world’s highest acquisition rate of up to 4.5 million waveforms per second and real-time signal capture of up to 99%, you’ll see every signal detail as it happens — no event goes unnoticed.
Achieve unparalleled clarity and confidence in your measurements with 12-bit ADC resolution across all sample rates, an enhanced 18-bit HD mode, advanced digital triggering, and an impressive 125 Mpoints of standard memory.
All this performance comes in a sleek, space-saving design. The 11.6″ Full HD display offers brilliant visuals, while the compact 5U rack height ensures seamless integration into any workspace without compromise.
From time-domain to frequency-domain analysis, the R&S®MXO 3 Series sets a new standard for debugging and testing performance — compact, powerful, and built for professionals who demand the best.
