Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) has announced the expansion of its oscilloscope offerings with the introduction of the Infiniium MXR B-Series. This new hardware-accelerated oscilloscope is designed to cater to the needs of engineers, offering automated analysis tools aimed at enhancing efficiency and reducing time-to-market.
Engineers often face challenges in identifying and resolving signal anomalies, which can lead to product issues post-launch. The need for oscilloscopes with superior signal integrity, capable of displaying precise signal details, is paramount for effective testing and debugging. Keysight’s Infiniium MXR B-Series combines advanced signal integrity with built-in automated analysis tools, promising to streamline the testing and debugging processes, ultimately expediting product development and market entry.
The Infiniium MXR B-Series oscilloscope comes equipped with a range of features to address these needs, including zone triggering, fault detection, real-time spectrum analysis (RTSA), and a 50 MHz waveform generator. It stands out by offering eight instruments within a single benchtop solution, optimizing both workspace and budget utilization. Notably, all features of the MXR B-Series are upgradeable, allowing engineers to adapt to changing requirements seamlessly.
Key benefits of the Infiniium MXR B-Series include:
1. Reduced Test Time: The oscilloscope accelerates analysis through hardware acceleration, automating tasks such as fault detection, design compliance testing, power integrity analysis, protocol decoding of over 50 serial protocols, simultaneous mask testing on all channels, and more.
2. True Signal Representation: With industry-leading signal integrity parameters like an industry-low noise floor, high effective number of bits (ENOB), and minimal system jitter, this oscilloscope provides maximum resolution for accurate signal visualization and measurements.
3. Uncompromised Performance: It ensures robust design development with a remarkable update rate of over 200,000 waveforms per second (wfms/s), a fast sample rate of 16 Gigasamples per second (GSa/s), and a bandwidth of up to 6 GHz. Importantly, bandwidth and sample rates remain consistent even with multiple channels in use.
Robert Saponas, Vice President of Keysight Digital Photonics Center of Excellence, emphasized the oscilloscope’s potential, stating, “The MXR B-Series leverages the same hardware acceleration ASIC as Keysight’s 110 GHz Infiniium UXR B-Series oscilloscopes to accelerate analysis, eye diagrams, and triggering with the excellent signal integrity you’ve come to expect from Keysight. Engineers designing complex systems can now get from symptom to root cause in a matter of minutes instead of hours.”
Keysight’s Infiniium MXR B-Series oscilloscope, boasting a coverage of up to 6 GHz, addresses the critical needs of engineers by offering enhanced automated analysis capabilities, exceptional signal integrity, and uncompromised performance. This new addition to their portfolio is set to facilitate more efficient product development processes in various industries.
