The Agilent/Keysight MXR608A is an 8-channel, 6 GHz real-time oscilloscope engineered for high-fidelity signal capture and advanced analysis. Part of the Infiniium MXR-Series, this instrument delivers 16 GSa/s sampling across all channels with hardware-accelerated eye diagram generation exceeding 750,000 UI/s at 10-bit resolution. The platform combines oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, logic analyzer, waveform generator, and counter functions in a single integrated instrument—enabling rapid troubleshooting from symptom identification to root cause resolution.
