I spent two months "vibe testing" with my oscilloscope: handing a Rohde & Schwarz MXO38 to an AI agent through MCP (Model Context Protocol) to find out when it actually helps, and when it's a waste of time. In this video, I connect Claude to the scope with MXO AI Connect, an MCP server for R&S MXO oscilloscopes. Then I let the AI run three real bench measurements: Rise time measurement: a 10 MHz square wave from the scope's built-in waveform generator into channel 5, with the AI handling setup, autoset, and measurements. DC-DC converter characterization: turn-on, turn-off, loaded vs. unloaded output, and load regulation. FM radio spectrum monitoring: using the oscilloscope as a spectrum analyzer to compare a probe, a short antenna, and an extended antenna. Each test gets a grade on my Very Official Scoring System. You'll see what the AI got right, where it needed supervision, and how to turn a one-off AI chat into a repeatable test. Things I cover in this video: How to connect an AI assistant to your oscilloscope, and what an MCP server actually does The difference between a local MCP and an MCP server What you need before you start: physical connections, the scope on your network, the MCP setup, and an MCP-capable AI tool A five-step vibe testing workflow: plan, set up, proof of life, test, report Guardrails that protect your device under test, plus how to save setups and turn a session into a reusable script or skill Whether you're building a production test, automating lab measurements, or just tired of digging through the programmer's manual for the right SCPI command, this is a practical look at agentic test (vibe testing) and measurement on a real bench. #oscilloscope #AI #MCP #testandmeasurement #electronics #RohdeSchwarz #engineering #oscilloscope #electronics #VibeTesting #TestandMeasurement #RohdeSchwarz #DanielBogdanoff #Agentictesting #AgenticTestAndMeasurement #agenticengineering #AIOscilloscope #AIelecronics #OscilloscopeVibeTest
