Digital oscilloscope R&S®MXO 4

analogbench-top4-channel

Overview
The R&S®MXO 4 series is a next‑generation oscilloscope family engineered for fast detection of signal anomalies, precise measurements and advanced spectrum analysis. It combines a high real‑time update rate, high vertical resolution and deep acquisition memory with a 13.3" Full HD capacitive touchscreen and an intuitive UI.

Key facts

• Bandwidth options: 200 MHz – 1.5 GHz
• Update rate: > 4.5 million waveforms/s; spectrum acquisition up to 50,000 FFT/s (up to 4 spectra)
• Vertical resolution: 12‑bit ADC (up to 18‑bit HD mode), up to 10‑bit ENOB
• Standard acquisition memory: 400 Mpoints per channel (optional 800 Mpoints interleaved)
• Zone trigger on analog, spectrum and math

Next generation technology
The MXO 4 delivers 12‑bit ADC vertical resolution at all sample rates, very deep standard memory and a touch‑first user experience. Its architecture increases real‑time capture (up to ~90%) and enables precise low‑level measurements across the full analog bandwidth.
