Rohde & Schwarz presents R&S ScopeStudio, a PC-based oscilloscope solution to boost development teams

10 February 2025

A new software solution from Rohde & Schwarz transfers the capabilities of the MXO series oscilloscopes to a computer. This PC-based oscilloscope application facilitates the viewing, analysis, documentation and sharing of oscilloscope measurements away from the oscilloscope hardware, presenting a more accessible solution for individual users and development teams.

Users can import oscilloscope waveforms or entire sessions – a blend of captured waveform data and instrument setup files. The subsequent measurements and analysis capabilities mirror what a user would experience on their MXO oscilloscope. However, the R&S ScopeStudio application offers three key advantages. First, since users can view and analyze previously acquired data away from the instrument, it leaves the oscilloscope free for others to use. Second, engineers can use PC tools to more efficiently document designs. This not only enhances productivity but also improves the quality of images and annotations by leveraging the flexibility of additional PC resources. Finally, research and development teams can share measurement results more effectively with remote locations, partners, suppliers and customers. The need to share technical measurement details is common in development teams, and this PC-based oscilloscope application simplifies the process.

The standard features of the application include R&S SmartGrid, cursors, over 40 automated measurements, mathematical functions, filters and spectrum viewing of time-domain signals. Protocol decoding support for I2C, SPI, RS-232/UART, CAN, CAN-FD, CAN-FL, LIN, SENT, MilStd 1553, ARINC 429 and SPMI serial buses will be available soon.

The new R&S ScopeStudio PC application software for the R&S MXO 4 , R&S MXO 5 and R&S MXO 5C oscilloscopes is now available from Rohde & Schwarz.
