According to Rohde & Schwarz, its MXO 4 series of oscilloscopes have the fastest real-time update rate available at 4.5 million waveforms/s, capturing more infrequent events than previously possible. A 12-bit ADC enables 16X the resolution of traditional 8-bit oscilloscopes at all sample rates. The scopes maintain a standard acquisition memory of 400 Mpoints on all four channels (optional 800 Mpoints interleaved), offering up to 100X the standard memory of comparable instruments. Features include a 13.3-in. full HD capacitive touchscreen and an intuitive user interface.
