  • Page 3: Multiscope Hardware Configuration, Uxr-Series-At A Glance

    MultiScope Hardware Configuration, UXR-Series—At a Glance In one equipment rack, you can connect multiple Infiniium UXR-Series oscilloscopes together to create an oscilloscope system with up to 20-channels. The Infiniium UXR-Series oscilloscope software supports up to 40 channels in a MultiScope N OTE system.
  • Page 4 For example, to set up a four-oscilloscope system, your configuration would include one N2164A kit (to go from one oscilloscope to two) and two N2165A kits (to go from two oscilloscopes to three and then from three oscilloscopes to four). Figure MultiScope To control MultiScope systems and analyze captured data, you can use:...
