It has eight 2.5Gsample/s channels that can be interleaved to provide four 5Gsample/s channels, and is part of the new MXO 5C series of scopes which have been cut down from the recently-introduced display-inclusive MXO 5 series.
As well as 2GHz, there are eight channel versions with 100, 200, 350 or 500MHz, or 1GHz bandwidth, and four channel models starting at 350MHz. Capture rate can reach 4.5m acquisition/s.
“Users operate the instrument via the integrated web interface, or they interact with it exclusively programmatically and use the instrument as a high-speed digitiser,” said the company. “The eight-channel model provides a channel density of 1,500cm3 per channel and consumes just 23W per channel.”
DisplayPort and HDMI connectors are built-in, allowing a display to be connected if necessary, and “all MXO 5C instruments incorporate a built-in web browser”, according to Rohde & Schwarz. “Security and documentation features come standard. A virtual front panel display is available with same knobs and buttons that are on the MXO 5.”
A small front-panel E-Ink display shows IP address and other information even when the instrument is switched off.
Options include adding 16 digital channels, a dual-channel 100MHz arbitrary waveform generator and protocol decode.
