Custom technology and innovative features in our oscilloscopes quickly boost your understanding of circuit
behaviors.
MXO-EP processing ASIC
See more of your signals, faster.
At the heart of each R&S®MXO4 series oscilloscope is a Rohde & Schwarz
developed application specific integrated circuit (ASIC): MXO-EP (extreme per-
formance). MXO-EP processes 200Gbit/s to deliver the world’s fastest update
rate of up to 4.5million acquisitions/s. See and capture more of your signal,
faster. Find rare signal anomalies quickly. Experience the most responsive oscil-
loscope in the industry.

Capture more of your signals.
R&S®MXO4 series oscilloscopes come equipped with the industry’s deepest
standard acquisition memory of 400Mpoints per channel. Capture up to 80ms
of power up or power down sequences with the highest sample resolution of
200ps. The memory controller in the MXO-EP ASIC ensures the oscilloscope
stays responsive with deep memory.
12bit ADC, 18bit vertical architecture
Measure your signals accurately.
Measurement accuracy is highly dependent on the components in the sig-
nal path, e.g. amplifiers, samplers and A/D converters. The workhorse of the
R&S®MXO4 series is an extremely low noise signal path including a 12bit
ADC. High definition mode (HD) increases vertical resolution to industry best
18bit architecture. Get accurate measurements all the time.
THAT HELP GIVE YOU ACCELERATED INSIGHT
Advanced digital triggering system
Easily isolate subtle signal variations
MXO-EP ASICs incorporate advanced digital triggering that evaluates the A/D
converter samples in the acquisition path in real time. Trigger on small events
of less than 1/10 000 vertical division that no other oscilloscope can isolate.
Choose your own trigger hysteresis. Apply digital filters to suppress noise to
get the most precise triggering available.

FIND SIGNAL ANOMALIES QUICKLYENABLING TECHNOLOGY BLOCKS
WITH UNPARALLELED UPDATE RATES
Quickly and reliably detect sporadic signal faults
The statistical confidence in results is higher the more
waveforms are acquired. A high update rate increases the
likelihood of detecting and displaying signal faults and
including them in analysis. The high update rate enables
the R&S®MXO4 to generate trustworthy statistical results
based on a high number of waveforms in a short time. This
is crucial for quickly understanding electronic circuits.
Available with active automatic measurements, FFT or cursor
measurements
The R&S®MXO4 oscilloscopes have a high update rate
even when FFTs, automatic measurement or cursor mea-
surements are active. Also when performing analysis with
deep memory acquisitions, the ASIC based signal process-
ing paths ensure smooth workflows.

12bit ADC: all the time
All R&S®MXO4 series oscilloscopes incorporate a 12bit
A/D converter. 12bit vertical resolution delivers 4096
quantization levels for precise vertical sampling. This is a
16x improvement over 8bit ADCs. The ADC stays in 12bit
mode all the time, even at the fastest sample rates.
Vertical sensitivity to 500µV/div with ±5V offset range
The R&S®MXO4 series oscilloscope offers an outstand-
ing sensitivity down to 500µV/div without any unexpected
reduction in bandwidth. With offset of ±5V at higher sen-
sitivity vertical scale, you can easily place the signal at the
center of the screen. Extended offset enables use of more
sensitive vertical resolution, meaning higher ADC bits and
lower noise.
SEE YOUR SIGNALS ACCURATELY
LOWEST MEASUREMENT NOISE AND
HIGHEST VERTICAL RESOLUTION
18bit architecture with HD mode
Offering a user tradeoff between bandwidth and bits of
resolution, HD mode, implemented in hardware for fast
speed, achieves up to 18bit vertical resolution. This allows
you to see sharper waveforms with more signal details
that would otherwise be masked by noise. In addition to
superior vertical resolution, R&S®MXO4 oscilloscopes are
engineered with the lowest-in-industry system measure-
ment noise of just 22µV AC (RMS) at 1mV/div.

Deep memory as an insurance policy
After bandwidth and sample rate, memory depth is the
most important attribute that determines the product’s
ability to handle a large range of troubleshooting tasks.
More acquisition memory gives oscilloscopes the ability
to capture more time. More memory enables the oscil-
loscope to retain rated sample rate and bandwidth with
slower timebase settings.
With 400Mpoints acquisition memory standard on all four
channels simultaneously, the R&S®MXO4 series oscillo-
scope offers up to 100 times the standard memory com-
pared to the primary competitor.
Standard segmented memory
Use segmented memory to capture signals separated
by inactivity. Examples include laser pulses, serial bus
activity and RF pulses. The segmented memory of the
R&S®MXO4 series oscilloscope enables signal capture
over a long observation period up to 1 000 000 segments.
CAPTURE MORE TIME
DEEPEST STANDARD MEMORY
Standard history capability
Press stop and use history mode to see previously cap-
tured acquisitions. History mode is an always-on capabil-
ity. All measurement and analysis tools are available in his-
tory mode including the serial bus decoder, mask test and
automatic measurements.
Maintain fast sampling rates with slow timebase settings
Ever adjust your oscilloscope timebase to capture more
time intervals, press stop, then zoom in to find signal
details that do not look right? If so, you have experienced
the aliasing problem that oscilloscopes with shallow mem-
ory have. The deep memory of the R&S®MXO4 enables
longer time captures at full sample rate.

►
Standard segmented memory (10 000 segments, optional 1 000 000 segments)
►

Need even more memory?
During tests that involve looking at power up/down behav-
ior or decoding longer bus events, there is always the wish
to record longer time intervals. The memory extension
option turns on 800Mpoints (interleaved 2 channels), up
to 1 000 000 segments and up to 1 000 000 acquisitions.

Modern digital trigger
The MXO-EP ASIC incorporates the Rohde & Schwarz pat-
ented digital trigger system. Digital triggering implies a
common path for the measurement signal and trigger ver-
sus a split path in older analog trigger architectures. Digital
triggers offer numerous advantages.
User selectable hysteresis
Use automated trigger hysteresis settings or manually
enter your values. Unlike using oscilloscopes with analog
triggers, R&S®MXO4 series users have full access to con-
trol all trigger hysteresis settings. This provides additional
flexibility for determining where to trigger, including how
much trigger noise suppression is desired.
ISOLATE EVENTS WITH MORE
PRECISION
HIGH-PRECISION DIGITAL TRIGGER
World’s most sensitive trigger
The R&S®MXO4 series digital trigger is up to 10 000 times
more sensitive than all competitors that are still using older
analog trigger architectures. Triggering sensitivity enables
users to isolate difficult-to-find small physical layer anoma-
lies in the presence of large signals, accelerating debug
and troubleshooting.
Adjustable digital trigger filters
Use the up to 18bit HD mode on the trigger to reduce
measurement system noise. The digital trigger architec-
ture makes it possible to adapt the cutoff frequency of the
digital lowpass filter to the signal to be measured. Unlike
oscilloscopes with analog trigger circuits, the same filter
settings can be used for both the trigger signal and the
measurement signal. As a result, noise on the trigger sig-
nal can be suppressed, for instance while simultaneously
capturing and displaying the filtered or unfiltered measure-
ment signal.

READY FOR MANY USES
YOUR GO-TO TOOL
Need additional logic channels?
Add 16 digital channels with the R&S®MXO4-B1 MSO
option. Unlike some other oscilloscopes that force a
tradeoff between digital and analog channel usage, the
R&S®MXO4 series logic channels can be used simul-
taneously with all analog channels. Simply connect an
R&S®MXO4-B1 probe to the R&S®MXO4 to use the digital
channels.
An oscilloscope as flexible as you
Need additional test capability? Customize your
R&S®MXO4 series oscilloscope with the application soft-
ware and probes that your applications need.
Need configurable waveform generation?
With the R&S®MXO4-B6 waveform generation option, you
can add two integrated 100MHz arbitrary waveform gen-
erators. Captured waveforms on the oscilloscope can be
replayed by the generator and noise can be added to cre-
ate worst case performance to determine system toler-
ance. Select from a wide range of available waveshapes or
load an arbitrary waveform.
Choose from a wide selection of compatible probes
Rohde & Schwarz provides a broad portfolio of current and
voltage probes. All R&S®MXO4 series oscilloscope chan-
nel inputs include a Rohde & Schwarz probe interface con-
nection for Rohde & Schwarz active probes. Moreover,
many third-party probes are also compatible with the
instrument.

Easy navigation in frequency domain
The R&S®MXO4 spectrum function has the familiar inter-
face of a spectrum analyzer. The spectrum setup dialog
offers basic spectrum analyzer controls such as start and
stop frequency and resolution bandwidth. In spectrum
mode, the R&S®MXO4 time domain settings are unaf-
fected. This makes navigation in the frequency domain
an easy task. The maximum FFT capture bandwidth cor-
responds to the R&S®MXO4 series bandwidth allowing a
quick overview of all the test device’s emissions from 0Hz
to 1.5GHz.
EMI DEBUGGING
The right setup with the right probes
Rohde & Schwarz offers the compact R&S®HZ-15 near-field
probe set, which is particularly helpful for EMI debugging
of embedded designs. The most compact probe in this set
allows capturing of near-field emissions from single circuit
lines. The R&S®HZ-15 covers the frequency range from
30MHz to 3GHz. With reduced sensitivity, it can also be
used below 30MHz. The optional R&S®HZ-16 preamplifier
provides 20dB gain in the frequency range from 100kHz
to 3GHz, in case higher sensitivity is needed.
Ultra-fast spectrum acquisitions for spurious spectrum events
The R&S®MXO4 series architecture is optimized both in
hardware and software to leverage the powerful ASIC
capabilities to deliver fast and responsive spectrum cap-
tures. This is critical in detecting random and spurious
emissions that are otherwise hidden due to the blind time
in acquisitions. The spectrum analysis is equipped with
max. hold, min. hold and average arithmetics to keep track
of spectrum events that occur during the testing. These
are important test receiver functions and now they come
standard on the R&S®MXO4 series spectrum function.
Gated spectrum for correlated time and frequency analysis
With the gated spectrum function, it is possible to restrict the spectrum analysis to a user-defined region of the captured
time domain signal. Excessive spectral emissions can be correlated to dedicated time periods in a signal. Typical appli-
cations include the correlation of unwanted emissions to fast switching edges in switched-mode power supplies or to
data transfers on bus interfaces. Having identified the problem, the design engineer can easily check the effectiveness
of different solutions such as blocking capacitors or reduced rise/fall times by observing the level change of the spectral
emission.
Rohde & Schwarz R&S®MXO4 Series Oscilloscope 17
Logic analysis enabled by default
All R&S®MXO4 series oscilloscopes have the
R&S®MXO4-B1 MSO hardware built into every instrument.
The MSO option offers the logic probes required to start
using the 16 digital channels.
LOGIC ANALYSIS
See more signal details with fast sample rate and deep
memory
With a sampling rate of 5Gsample/s, the R&S®MXO4
series oscilloscope provides high time resolution of 200ps
for all digital channels. This sampling rate is available over
the entire memory depth of 400Mpoints per channel. The
MSO option offers comprehensive trigger capabilities to
detect critical events such as narrow glitches or certain
pattern combinations.
Analysis of low speed serial buses with digital channels
Today, high speed interfaces are often combined with low speed control or programming buses in a single device. You
can use the digital channels of the R&S®MXO4-B1 option to trigger and decode low speed serial protocols such as SPI
and I
2
C with the appropriate protocol options. All protocol analysis tools for the analog channels, such as decode table
and search, are also available for the digital channels. Trigger on protocol details such as start, address and data in order
to focus the analysis on dedicated events.
18
Dual-path protocol analysis
With the R&S®MXO4 series, you can experience protocol analysis innovation. Typically, protocol packets must be
acquired at the same sample rate as the rest of the oscilloscope.
With dual-path protocol analysis, you can set the instrument sample rate for the waveform path and the oscilloscope will
automatically use another internal decoupled sample rate for the decoding path. Even with very slow sample rates, the
protocol data is correctly decoded. On other oscilloscopes, signals would be undersampled and decoding would not be
possible.

Capture more packets with deep memory
Need to capture long time periods? You can use deep
memory to capture more packets. With a memory depth
of up to 800Mpoints, the R&S®MXO4 series can cap-
ture long time periods where the cause and result are
distanced in time. Over the entire capture, signal detail is
time-correlated with packet content for fast debug.

See power signal details with up to 18 bit resolution
Even the smallest signal details of a highly dynamic signal
matter for power measurements, for example when verify-
ing RDS
on
for a MOSFET. The HD mode of the R&S®MXO4
series oscilloscope increases the vertical resolution up to
18 bit so that previously unseen signal details become vis-
ible and can be measured. The oscilloscope also offers
adjustable digital filters that allow noise suppression result-
ing in sharper waveforms with more signal details.
POWER ANALYSIS
Extensive probe portfolio: High voltage and current probes
The Rohde & Schwarz portfolio of high voltage probes
includes active differential probes for voltages up to
6000V (peak). These probes provide an exceptional com-
mon mode rejection ratio over a broad frequency range.
Rohde & Schwarz current probes enable accurate, non-
intrusive measurement of DC and AC currents. Different
models are available to measure currents in the range
from 1mA to 2000A with a maximum bandwidth of up to
120MHz.
Digital trigger for enhanced debugging capabilities
With up to 18bit vertical resolution, the digital trig-
ger architecture enables triggering on the smallest ver-
tical variation sampled. The trigger sensitivity requires
0.0001div and is adjustable to factor in different trig-
ger requirements, for example to avoid false trigger-
ing on noise. It is also possible to use the digital trigger
to adapt the cutoff frequency only on the trigger path
while maintaining the original waveform for viewing and
measurements.
Maintaining fast sample rates with deepest memory
Analyzing start-up, shut-down or transients of power sup-
plies requires a high sample rate and long recording times.
With up to 800Mpoints memory, highest in its class, the
R&S®MXO4 series oscilloscopes enable recording of long
duration while maintaining high sample rates of up to
5Gsample/s.

Perform low-frequency response analysis
The R&S®MXO4-K36 frequency response analysis (FRA)
option lets you perform low-frequency response analy-
sis on your oscilloscope easily and quickly. It character-
izes the frequency response of a variety of electronic
devices, including passive filters and amplifier circuits.
For switched-mode power supplies, it measures the con-
trol loop response (CLR) and power supply rejection ratio
(PSRR).
The FRA option uses the oscilloscope’s built-in waveform
generator to create stimulus signals ranging from 10Hz to
100MHz. Measuring the ratio of the stimulus signal and
the output signal of the DUT at each test frequency, the
oscilloscope plots gain and phase logarithmically.

The R&S®MXO4-K36 provides user-configurable profiles of
the amplitude output level from the generator. This helps
improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at different frequency
ranges when performing measurement on CLR and PSRR.
Users can also load lookup tables for generator settings.
Improved resolution and marker support
This includes user configurable points per decade to adjust
needed resolution and sweep time. Markers are available
on the traces with a table to show corresponding coordi-
nates. Users can easily determine the phase and gain mar-
gin with an auto placement function.
Parallel display of time domain
Having both time and frequency domain views allows the
user to monitor if the injected signal causes distortion that
leads to errors in the measurement. These effects are hard
to spot from just the Bode plot. Using the time domain
window of the oscilloscope is a great way to adjust the
amplitude profile to the optimal level.
Measurement table
The table of measurement results provides information
about each measured point, consisting of frequency, gain
and phase shift. The markers and table allow interactive
display of the selected information. For reporting pur-
poses, screenshots, table results or both can be quickly
saved to a USB device.
Broad probe portfolio
Accurate CLR and PSRR characterization is highly depen-
dent on choosing the right probes since the peak-to-peak
amplitudes of both V
in
and V
out
can be very low at some
test frequencies. These values could be buried in the oscil-
loscope’s noise floor and in the switching noise of the DUT
itself. We recommend the low-noise R&S®RT-ZP1X 38MHz
bandwidth 1:1 passive probes to reduce attenuation error
and provide the best SNR.

Accurately measure ripple and PARD
As power rail tolerance levels get smaller, it becomes
increasingly difficult to measure power ripple accurately.
The inherent low noise of the R&S®MXO4 series enables
accurate power integrity measurements on the millivolt
level. The fast update rate of the R&S®MXO4 series allows
you to quickly see infrequent and worst-case ripple as well
as periodic and random disturbance (PARD) anomalies.
Debugging and validating power rails
POWER INTEGRITY
Measuring small voltages riding on large DC offsets
With the ±60V offset compensation range, the
R&S®RT-ZPR power rail probes allow you to focus on small
ripples on the power rail’s DC voltage. Whether you need
to zoom in on a 1V or much higher DC level, the probe
provides the required offset while maintaining lowest ver-
tical scale settings. Together with the superb low noise
frontend of the R&S®MXO4 series oscilloscope and the
18bit vertical resolution, this combination provides accel-
erated insight into the power integrity of your design.
Power rail characterization with high fidelity probes
Wide bandwidth, high sensitivity, very low noise and extra-
large offset compensation make the R&S®RT-ZPR an excel-
lent probe for characterizing power rails. With a bandwidth
of up to 4GHz, excellent sensitivity due to the 1:1 attenu-
ation ratio and low noise, the R&S®RT-ZPR excels at pre-
cise ripple measurements. Coupled with the oscilloscope’s
powerful frequency analysis capabilities, the R&S®RT-ZPR
probes can be used to isolate periodic and random distur-
bances (PARD). An integrated high-precision, 18bit DC
voltmeter provides an instantaneous DC voltage readout in
parallel.
Find coupled sources with fast spectrum
With the industry’s most capable spectrum, you can see switching characteristics or quickly scan for sources coupled
onto the power rail. The R&S®MXO4 series oscilloscope spectrum algorithm allows you to analyze the spectrum inde-
pendently of the time domain settings. This quickly provides a comprehensive picture of your power rails.

Extensive probe range for all measurement tasks
A complete portfolio of high-quality passive and active
probes covers all measurement tasks. With an input
impedance of 1MΩ, the active probes only put a mini-
mum load on the signal source operating point. The very
large dynamic range, even at high frequencies, prevents
signal distortion, e.g. 60V(V
pp
) at 1GHz for the active sin-
gle-ended probes.
Complete portfolio for power measurements
The portfolio of dedicated probes for power measure-
ments includes active and passive probes for the different
voltage and current ranges – from μA to kA and from μV
to kV. Dedicated power rail probes detect even small and
sporadic distortions on DC power rails.

High definition mode
General description
The high definition mode increases the numeric resolution of the waveform signal by using digital
filtering, leading to reduced noise. Because of the digital trigger concept of the R&S®MXO4, signals
with increased numeric resolution are used as the input for triggering.
