Key facts

Get R&S®ScopeSync as a standard feature with MXO4, MXO5 and MXO5C oscilloscopes (from firmware V2.6 onward)
Synchronize two oscilloscopes for measurements up to 16 channels
Set any combination of MXO4, MXO5 or MXO5C as your primary or secondary scope. The two scopes may have different bandwidths, sample rate, memory depth and channel count
Use measurements, math and applications, such as protocol decode on all 16 channels

R&S®ScopeSync synchronization of two oscilloscopes

Quickly synchronize two oscilloscopes for measurements up to 16 channels. There is no special equipment needed, just three simple physical connections and the two oscilloscopes are ready.
Connect LAN either directly between the oscilloscopes or both to a switch or both to a network.
Connect two BNC cables: connect the Trig out/in signal and connect both oscilloscopes to the same 10 MHz timebase clock to ensure accuracy.

Now, your R&S®ScopeSync physical connection is ready.

Features & benefits

Easily setup directly on the oscilloscope

Using the R&S®ScopeSync menu, enter the IP address of the secondary oscilloscope (see O2 Scope 2 in the user interface).

Align trigger with automatic deskew

R&S®ScopeSync automatically aligns both oscilloscope triggers to the same point in time. An auto-deskew feature measures the trigger out delay between two MXO oscilloscopes and uses this value to align trigger points. Simply connect the passive probes delivered with the oscilloscopes from channel 1 of both oscilloscopes to the same probe compensation signal and the oscilloscope will make the calculation for you.

Leverage all analysis capabilities on your oscilloscope

With all acquired signals in a single oscilloscope, use measurements, math and applications, such as protocol decode, choosing any of the oscilloscope channels as source.

Make up to 24 channel measurements

Up to 24 channel measurements can be made using a two-step process. Use a power splitter to divide the Trig out and 10 MHz Ref out signals from the primary oscilloscope to two secondary oscilloscopes. Import channels 9 to 16 using R&S®ScopeSync. Use GetSignals as second step to add channels 17 to 24 from the third oscilloscope.
