Introducing the New Tektronix MSO & DPO2000 Series Oscilloscope Family

Feature –rich tools for debugging mixed signal designs.

The MSO/DPO2000 Series, with innovative Wave Inspector controls and optional serial bus analysis, delivers advanced features at an attractive price point.

Debug faster and easier than ever before with Wave Inspector’s unique ability to zoom, pan, play, pause and set marks – helping you to efficiently navigate through long records. This makes it an ideal choice when working with today’s most common serial buses, such as I2C, SPI, RS-232/422/485/UART, CAN and LIN.

The MSO2000 Series adds 16 channels to the robust feature set of the DPO2000 series, enabling you to visualise analogue and digital signals on one instrument.

The power to solve quickly – The MSO2000 and DPO2000 Series digital phosphor oscilloscopes (DPOs) deliver the performance and tools you need to visualise your signals and find answers quickly. The DPO2000 Series are the first oscilloscopes to provide 1M points of usable record length on all channels, serial trigger and decode analysis options, a variable low-pass filter that also allows you to see signal detail to the oscilloscope’s full band-width and all the compact form factor. The MSO2000 Series adds 16 integrated digital channels, enabling you to visualise the time correlate analog and digital signals on a single instrument. The integration extends triggering functionality across all 20 channels – which are ideal for debugging mixed analogue and digital signals.

Designed to make your work easier – Wave Inspector Navigation and search imaging trying to efficiently use the internet if search engines such as Google and Yahoo didn’t exist and web browser features such as favourites and Links didn’t exist. Now you know how most modern oscilloscope users feel when trying to use long record length in their digital oscilloscope. Record length, one of the key specifications of an oscilloscope, is the number of samples that it can digitise and store within a single acquisition. The longer the record length, the longer the time window you can capture with high timing resolution (high sample rate).

The first digital oscilloscopes could capture and store only 500 points, which made it very difficult to acquire all relevant information around the event being investigated. Over the years Oscilloscope vendors have provided longer and longer record lengths to meet market demands for long capture windows and high resolution. These mega-point record lengths often represent thousands of screens worth of signal activity. While standard record lengths have increased greatly over the years and can now satisfy the vast majority of applications in the marketplace, tools for effectively and efficiently viewing, navigating and analysing long record length acquisitions have been sorely neglected until now.

The Tektronix MSO/DPO2000 Series redefines expectations for working with long record length with innovative Wave Inspector controls.
