Product overview

The R&S®MXO 3 series is the new R&S Essentials entry-level oscilloscope introduced by Rohde & Schwarz in 2024. It inherits the flagship technology of the MXO family and sits between the MXO 4 and the MXO 5. An industry-leading 12-bit ADC (up to 18-bit in HD mode) and the dedicated MXO-EP processing ASIC pack 4 or 8 analog channels and an acquisition rate of more than 4.5 million waveforms per second into a 5U housing, making it the most compact 8-channel oscilloscope available and a good fit for electronics development, education, communications and production test.

Key features

  • 12-bit ADC resolution at every sample rate, up to 18-bit in HD mode
  • More than 4,500,000 waveform acquisitions per second, the fastest in the industry
  • 1 ps trigger jitter and 0.0001 div trigger sensitivity
  • Zone trigger isolates anomalous events quickly
  • 11.6" full HD multi-touch display for intuitive operation
  • Switchable 50 Ω / 1 MΩ inputs, with noise < 50 μV RMS at 1 mV/div
  • 50,000 FFT/s for spectrum analysis with no perceptible delay
  • The most compact 8-channel instrument in the industry (5U housing, 4.0 kg)

Typical applications

  • Debugging embedded systems and IoT designs
  • Power integrity and power electronics analysis (three-phase power analysis)
  • Automotive protocol analysis (CAN/CAN-FD/CAN-XL/LIN/SENT, 10BASE-T1S)
  • Aerospace and defence buses (ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, SpaceWire)
  • Serial bus debugging (I²C, SPI, UART, USB 2.0, MIPI)
  • EMC pre-compliance near-field probing
  • Teaching laboratories and production test
