At this rate, they are going to release the MXO7 and MXO8, then loop back to do a prequel trilogy with MXO1, 2, and 3, and then they will start into the low profile version of each of those, and then an 8 channel version of each of those, and then a dedicated logic analyzer RF hybrid thing, and by now it's 2050 and we all have flying cars, and the thread is called "Which entry level 16 bit oscilloscope should I buy," and then the MXO6 comes out.

(laughs)  Point taken. Our current "6" series scope is the RTO6, which is no slouch:

I hope you don't mind me using the "prequel trilogy" comment internally - most of our scope team would absolutely love that reference :)

jjoonathan:
Ha, go for it! The RTO6 is a beauty, but I believe it uses the "Ooma" ADCs. These are some of the best 8b converters to ever be put in a scope -- spurious is excellent, they can beat certain 10b converters at high frequency ENOB, and the R&S "HD Mode" does an atypically good job of trading speed for bit depth -- but I already have a RTO scope on my desk, so if I am spending this much on an upgrade I am looking for a new analog front end as well. That's why I am eagerly awaiting the MXO6. Of course, at this price tier my timing and choices are partly driven by external requirements, so who knows how it will actually come down, but I can at least lust over the brochures  ;D
ddrl46:
While reading over the specifications of the scopes in the MXO series I noticed that the trigger sensitivity specification seems to be rather optimistic in comparison with other oscilloscopes. Or has Rohde & Schwarz perhaps changed their interpretation of trigger sensitivity since the RTB / RTA series?

nctnico:
I'd say it is very overly optimistic because there will be more noise than 0.0001 division for sure. I think somebody took the minimum hysteresis setting and forgot about noise.

Just an FYI: the MXO5C (compact) was launched today

Same scope, just smaller form factor.  Also available in 4 or 8 channel models

I just got the marketing email today. Can you comment publicly on pricing? This looks like the best headless scope on the market at the moment!
