DIGITALISATION
INTRODUCING THE INFINIIUM MXR-SERIES OSCILLOSCOPE The product combines the efficiency of an 8-in-1 bench solution with simultaneous 8-channel performance. Keysight Technologies Inc, a leading technology company, announced the first oscilloscope with eight analog channels at 6 GHz and 16 simultaneous digital channels, enabling customers to reduce test bench and workflow complexity to achieve higher performance as well as accurate and repeatable multi-channel measurements in a single instrument. High-speed digital designs, power integrity verification, Wi-Fi 6, IoT, IIoT and imaging, and Gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors utilise frequencies between 2 GHz and 6 GHz, that are currently underserved or require costly trade-offs. Testing these new products requires time- and frequency-domain equipment capable of simultaneous analog and digital channels, ideally with software enabled protocols, standards, built-in test assistance, and remote collaboration with the test team. The new Infiniium MXR-Series mixed signal oscilloscope offers advanced ASIC-driven processing, resulting in eight powerful instruments in one, including a real-time spectrum analyser (RTSA), oscilloscope, digital voltmeter (DVM), waveform generator, Bode plotter, counter, protocol analyser, and logic analyser. It is complemented by an extensive suite of software solutions focused on power integrity, high-speed digital testing and verification. Built-in software includes a fault hunter function that speeds root cause identification and resolution of rare or randomly occurring errors. The Keysight Infiniium MXR-Series oscilloscope helps engineers get from symptom to resolution quickly, with the following key customer benefits:
interactions. Coupled with 3X higher bandwidth than any other eight-channel oscilloscope, it allows test engineers to open a wider and more insightful window into designs. • Powerful remote collaboration with PathWave Infiniium Offline Analysis software enables design teams to do extensive analysis and data manipulation after bench measurements are complete, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the test bench. “The Infiniium MXR-Series benefits from a unique combination of Keysight’s technology and solution expertise”, said Mr Lawrence Liu, General Manager for Asia Pacific, Keysight Technologies. “This innovative family joins Keysight’s portfolio of oscilloscope solutions - a portfolio that addresses a wide range of application requirements - from low to very high frequencies, economical to high performance, and foundational measurements to advanced analysis and visualisation”, he added.
Keysight Technologies Solutions from Keysight Technologies optimise networks and bring electronic products to market faster and at a lower cost, with offerings from design simulation, to prototype validation, to manufacturing tests, and to optimisation in networks and cloud environments. Customers span the worldwide communications ecosystem, aerospace and defence, automotive, energy, semiconductor and general electronics end-markets.
• Eight powerful instruments in one reduces bench clutter, setup and test time, while minimising crosstalk issues. Incorporating a real-time spectrum analyser achieves a 100% probability of detection in the frequency domain, even for asynchronous errors. • A built-in fault hunter function learns normal signals and compares them over time, to find abnormal signals, capturing everything else that occurs when the abnormal signals are produced. This results in rapid problem resolution for troubleshooting irregular, random or spurious signals. • Simultaneous eight analog channels and 16 digital channels enable monitoring and analysis of complex signal 28
