DESCRIPTION:
The Rohde & Schwarz MXO34-1000 is the flagship four-channel model within the MXO 3 Series, delivering 1 GHz bandwidth while introducing the latest MXO oscilloscope architecture. The platform combines exceptionally high waveform acquisition performance, true 12-bit vertical resolution at all sample rates, deep acquisition memory, advanced digital triggering, and powerful spectrum analysis capabilities within a compact laboratory instrument.
At the heart of the MXO34 is a custom 12-bit analog-to-digital converter that maintains full resolution across all sampling rates. Compared with traditional 8-bit oscilloscopes, the architecture provides sixteen times greater vertical resolution, allowing engineers to observe low-level signal details, power rail ripple, transient disturbances, jitter effects, signal integrity issues, and switching noise with significantly improved clarity. The integrated HD mode further increases effective resolution to as much as 18 bits for precision measurement applications.
The MXO34 delivers acquisition rates exceeding 4.5 million waveforms per second and up to 99% real-time signal capture, making it one of the fastest oscilloscopes available in its class. This performance dramatically improves visibility of rare events, intermittent faults, protocol anomalies, and sporadic signal disturbances that may be missed by slower acquisition architectures.
Memory depth reaches 125 Mpoints per channel as standard and can be expanded to 500 Mpoints. Combined with sampling rates up to 5 GSa/s, the oscilloscope enables long-duration acquisitions while maintaining high timing resolution. Engineers can capture extensive protocol activity, startup events, control loops, serial communications, and complex transient behaviour without sacrificing signal detail.
The MXO34 introduces a high-performance spectrum analysis engine capable of up to 50,000 FFT calculations per second. Unlike conventional oscilloscopes, time-domain and frequency-domain settings can be independently configured, providing significantly greater flexibility for EMI investigations, harmonics analysis, switching power supply development, RF troubleshooting, and mixed-domain debugging.
Advanced digital triggering provides trigger sensitivity down to 0.0001 divisions, adjustable hysteresis, trigger rearm times below 21 ns, zone triggering, spectrum triggering, and math-based triggering. These capabilities allow engineers to isolate complex events with exceptional precision.
The large 11.6-inch Full HD touchscreen provides a 1920 × 1080 display resolution with modern gesture-based operation. Despite its capabilities, the MXO34 maintains a compact footprint suitable for crowded laboratory and manufacturing environments while supporting mixed-signal expansion, arbitrary waveform generation, protocol decoding, power analysis, and frequency response analysis options.
