The WavePro HD high-definition oscilloscopes combine HD4096 12-bit technology and 8 GHz bandwidth for low noise and pristine signal fidelity. With a maximum of 5 Gpoints of fast, responsive, and easily navigable acquisition memory, WavePro HD oscilloscopes also acquire extremely fine waveform details over long periods of time. A deep, powerful toolset quickly exposes underlying […]
Mixed-signal Oscilloscope
Oscilloscopes get in step with the times
A behind-the-scenes look at the making of the new Tektronix 5 Series mixed signal oscilloscope reveals its next-generation design. Dave Pereles Tektronix As embedded systems used in everything from automobiles and airplanes to household appliances to IoT devices have gotten more complex, so too have the demands placed on test and measurement equipment. Oscilloscopes are […]
Mid-range oscilloscope sports capacitive touch screen, up to eight analog, 64 digital channels
The new 5 Series MSO mixed-signal oscilloscope is said to be the first to allow 4, 6 or 8 analog channels and up to 64 digital channels, integrated protocol analysis and signal generator, a new 12-bit signal acquisition system, a massive high-definition capacitive touch display, and a highly intuitive Direct Access user interface. Developed by […]
Minimizing noise in oscilloscope measurements
As with many medium to high-end scopes, the Tektronix MDO 3000 Series Oscilloscope has an internal built-in arbitrary function generator. It is capable of producing 13 different waveforms – sine wave, square wave, pulse, ramp, dc, noise, sin(x/x), Gaussian, Lorentz, exponential rise, exponential decay, Haversine and cardiac. Any of these waveforms can be displayed on […]
H-P, Agilent, Keysight: New name, same reputation
Those of us who have been around electronic instrumentation for a while can remember the days when Hewlett-Packard instruments were considered the cream of the crop. Where I worked, we always tried to get to the lab early on the days we had tests to run so we could get our hands on the highly […]
Tektronix Adds to Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Family
Tektronix introduced the new MSO/DPO70000DX Series of performance oscilloscopes that feature models with 23GHz, 25GHz, and 33GHz bandwidth and enhanced tools for debugging digital and analog circuits. The company also announced the world’s fastest and lowest noise oscilloscope probe with 33GHz bandwidth and industry leading sensitivity for low-voltage, high-speed serial and RF signals. With the new MSO70000DX […]
Digital Design Tips and Tricks with a Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
by Faride Akretch, Technical Marketing Manager, Tektronix Use an MSO to efficiently implement digital designs while verifying and debugging signals. As electronic products become faster and more complex, they are harder to design, verify and debug. Extensive verification of these designs must be performed to ensure reliable product operation. When problems occur, it is critical […]
Agilent Technologies Introduces Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
Agilent Technologies Inc. announced the expansion of its Infiniium 90000 X-Series oscilloscope family to include the mixed-signal oscilloscope, or MSO. The expansion adds six new MSO models, as well as 13-GHz DSO and DSA models, to the X-Series. Engineers and developers use MSOs to accelerate testing by employing the additional trigger flexibility for debugging and validating their […]
