The year 2020 is destined to go down in the history of mankind and even every individual, but Keysight Technologies is still going against the current. In May of this year, it released the industry-leading MXR series of 8-in-1 real-time oscilloscopes with AI functions. It is like an arrow in the forest, a sprout in late winter, a banner of love for workers who dare to innovate, and a monument of contempt for the industry's unenterprising competitors!

However, for more ordinary electronic engineers in the industry, as workers, in the face of the continuous upgrading of industry and technology, they have been struggling to find a more economical and powerful mid-to-low-end entry-level Windows oscilloscope!

Keysight Technologies has never forgotten the working people and has always listened to the voice of the market. On November 10, it launched the affordable EXR series 7-in-1 oscilloscope to the world for millions of "working people".

The disciple is better than the master! EXR's "device life creed" is: powerful, economical and practical, intuitive operation! "If the name is not right, the words will not flow", based on the above four questionnaires, we will answer your calls from the industry.

What kind of perfect answer will the latest EXR series products give?

1. Standard Win10 operating system.
As the result data of the first question calls for, the EXR series directly runs the standard operation interface and programs of the Infiniium series platform. The operation is intuitive and easy to use. It not only provides the most efficient operation interface that is most in line with engineers' habits, but also facilitates the subsequent upgrade to add consistency analysis software based on the Windows system, such as Ethernet and USB2.0.

2. Industry-leading vertical and horizontal time base accuracy and high-speed sampling rate.

For the second question, 39% of the participants expressed high expectations for a high sampling rate.

What exciting performance will EXR have?

The EXR series uses real hardware 10-bit ADC in all gears and model bandwidths, and can reach 16-bit in high-resolution mode. At the same time, it provides industry-leading horizontal time base accuracy, up to 8ppb (parts per billion), which not only provides industry-leading horizontal time parameter measurement, but also is an effective guarantee for achieving high ENOB. What is particularly rare is that among all products of the same level in the industry, it provides a rare high sampling rate. When all channels are turned on, whether it is 4 channels or 8 channels, it is up to 16GSa/s. The total cumulative sampling capacity of a single oscilloscope is up to 128GSa/s, providing a sampling resolution that is far ahead of products of the same level in the industry!

3. 7-in-1 multi-function oscilloscope, with standard voltmeter and frequency meter, powerful functions.

For the third question, the most requested functions are voltmeter, frequency meter and Bode plot analysis. The EXR series will provide the standard functions of voltmeter and frequency meter as you wish! However, real-time spectrum analysis is a relatively low priority for entry-level R&D. Therefore, in order to improve the competitiveness of the EXR series, the RTSA option function will not be provided.

In fact, as a pioneer brand in the industry in creating all-in-one function oscilloscopes, HP launched the MSO—Mixed Signal Oscilloscope as early as the 1990s; in the 21st century, Agilent launched the 3-in-1 9000 series oscilloscopes and the 6-in-1 InfiniiVision series 3000/4000/6000 series products in 2009, both of which were industry-leading products at the time.

In 2020, Keysight continued to innovate on the MXR series and launched 8-in-1 products. The EXR series is more powerful than the original, adhering to the MXR's integrated functions---7-in-1, high integration density--up to 8 channels of 16GSa/s sampling analog channels and 16-channel MSO that can be used independently. In addition to the real-time spectrum analyzer, all other optional functions except the standard voltmeter and frequency meter support software upgrades after purchase, and the upgrade from 4 channels to 8 channels is a hardware upgrade.

4. Provide the most commonly used consistency test capabilities and power-related tests.
Provide consistency tests for common medium and low-speed standards and interfaces such as USB2.0/Ethernet and automotive Ethernet, as well as increasingly common jitter and eye diagram tests. For power-related tests, in addition to switching power supply and power semiconductor parameter measurements, there are also the industry's most popular power ripple and noise test capabilities and PMIC power-on timing measurements.
Especially for USB2.0, according to the latest USB2.0 CTS specification of USB-IF in 2019,
https://www.usb.org/document-library/usb-20-electrical-compliance-test-specification-version-107 :

Figure 4 USB2.0 CTS test bandwidth requirements

EXR254/8 has a 2.5GHz bandwidth, which provides the association-recommended analog bandwidth for USB2.0 compliance testing. Many other 2GHz bandwidth products in the industry cannot meet the basic bandwidth requirements of compliance testing.

Compared with the MXR series, the EXR series is more focused on entry-level R&D applications, with a maximum bandwidth of 2.5GHz, and will be sold through global distribution channels. Compared with the MXR series, except for the lack of real-time spectrum analysis and standard storage depth of 100M points, the other configurations are exactly the same as the MXR series, especially the standard Fault Hunter function with AI function, which is the first in the industry launched by Keysight, reinterpreting the simple and easy-to-use and intuitive operation characteristics of entry-level R&D oscilloscopes. For details, please refer to "Fault Hunter adds AI wings to MXR's general signal debugging applications" - Therefore, the EXR pricing is more competitive than the MXR, which will make it easier for electronic engineers to own a real-time oscilloscope on Windows!

The EXR series is powerful and versatile,
economical and affordable,
making it something that even "workers" can dream of!
"Workers", it's time to shout out your voice
to your PM, boss, and buyers during the "Double 11" shopping festival!
