Use the Application Modules
Optional application module packages extend the capability of your oscilloscope. (See page 14, Application Module Free
Trial.) (See page 14, Installing an Application Module.)
Refer to the MDO3000 Series Application Module Installation Instructions that came with your application m odule for
instructions on installing and testing an application module. Some modules are described in the following list. Additional
modules may be available. Contact your Tektronix representative or visit our Web site at www.tektronix.com for more
information. Also, refer to Contacting Tektronix at the beginning of the manual.
You purchase application modules as stand-alone products. You can purchase them at the time of initial MDO3000
purchase or at a later time.
Application modules have licenses. You can transfer a license between an application module and an oscilloscope. The
license m ay be contained in the module; allowing you to move the module from one instrument to another. Alternatively, you
can contain the license in the oscilloscope; allowing you to remove the module and store it for safekeeping. You can transfer
the license back to the module for use in another MDO3000 oscilloscope. Transferring the license to an oscilloscope and
removing the module permits the use of more than two applications simultaneously.
The MDO3AERO Aerospace Serial Triggering and Analysis Module enables triggering on packet-level information on
ARINC429 and MIL-STD-1553 buses as well as use of analytic al tools such as digital views of the signal, bus views,
