Tektronix (www.tek.com) has unveiled the two latest series of its performance oscilloscope families that range between 500 MHz and eight GHz, the DPO7000C Series and the MSO/DPO/DSA70000C Series. These new series of oscilloscopes have been specifically designed to offer embedded system design engineers faster troubleshooting of designs.

“The new series of oscilloscopes we’re announcing today provide industry leading tools to speed debug efforts of serial buses found in many embedded system designs,” said Roy Siegel, Oscilloscopes General Manager at Tektronix.

“We continue to provide industry-best solutions — such as MIPI serial analysis — to meet the latest challenges. And, we continue to drive innovation on our most popular scopes to support the latest architectures and deliver the comprehensive tools our customers need.”

The new DPO7000C Series provide engineers with an efficient device that harmoniously combines analysis functionality with numerous applications in one package. Using robust tools at every stage of debug, it provides time-saving serial analysis solutions that help designers focus on solving problems with their design. Featuring tools such as One Touch Jitter Wizard, the scope automates and simplifies even the most difficult testing tasks.

Meanwhile, the MSO/DPO/DSA70000C Series offers a deeper level of analysis on the most complex challenges in high-performance design and verification for serial data, RF/microwave and semiconductor characterization. The scope’s high-performance platform supports decode, trigger and search capability for famous embedded system buses and compliance packages for standards including USB 3.0, DDR3, PCIe 3.0 and others.

Engineers that need performance beyond the 3.5 GHz offered by the DPO7000C, the new four-, six-, and eight-GHz models of the MSO/DPO/DSA70000C Series provide the ideal fit. These latest models of Tektronix oscilloscopes deliver LXI Class C compliance, incorporate faster compute platform and use the Windows 7 operating system.
