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
