R&S MXO 4 - Next Gen Scope - Hands-On Review and First Impressions

The title for “world’s fastest oscilloscope“ now belongs to the Rohde & Schwarz MXO 4. It is capable of acquiring over 4.5 million waveforms per second and processing 45,000 FFTs per second. (Though, I only got the FFTs to about 30,000 per second...) It features the lowest dead-time between triggers of any oscilloscope on the market. R&S gave Bald Engineer an early look at this next-generation oscilloscope. See how it performs, and what he thinks of it, and take a look at the chip that powers this amazing scope.
