4 Series MSO Never let a lack of channels slow down your verification and debug process again! The 4 Series MSO offers better visibility into complex systems by offering four and six channel models with a 13.3-inch high-definition (1,920 x 1,080) display.
Datasheet Channel 2 has a TLP058 Logic Probe connected to the eight inputs of a DAC. Notice the green and blue color coding, where ones are green and zeros are blue. Another TLP058 Logic Probe on Channel 3 is probing the SPI bus driving the DAC. The white edges indicate higher frequency information is available by either zooming in or moving to a faster sweep speed on the next acquisition. Beyond just analog and digital, FlexChannel inputs include Spectrum View.
4 Series MSO Unprecedented signal viewing capability The stunning 13.3-inch (338 mm) display in the 4 Series MSO is the largest display in its class. It is also the highest resolution display, with full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080), enabling you to see many signals at once with ample room for critical readouts and analysis. The viewing area is optimized to ensure that the maximum vertical space is available for waveforms.
Datasheet Viewing three analog channels, eight digital channels, a decoded serial bus waveform, decoded serial packet results table, four measurements, a measurement histogram, measurements results table with statistics and a search on serial bus events - simultaneously! Exceptionally easy-to-use user interface lets you focus on the task at hand The Settings Bar - key parameters and waveform management Waveform and scope operating parameters are displayed in a series of “badges” in the Settings Bar that r
4 Series MSO Touch interaction finally done right Scopes have included touch screens for years, but the touch interface has been an afterthought. The 4 Series MSO's display includes a capacitive touchscreen and provides the industry's first oscilloscope user interface truly designed for touch. The touch interactions that you use with phones and tablets, and expect in a touch enabled device, are supported in the 4 Series MSO.
Datasheet Experience the performance difference Digital Phosphor technology with FastAcq™ highspeed waveform capture To debug a design problem, first you must know it exists. Digital phosphor technology with FastAcq provides you with fast insight into the real operation of your device. Its fast waveform capture rate - greater than 500,000 waveforms per second - gives you a high probability of seeing the infrequent problems common in digital systems: runt pulses, glitches, timing issues, and more.
4 Series MSO Multiple channel triggering. Visual Trigger areas can be associated with events spanning multiple channels, such as triggering on a specific burst-width on channel 1 and a specified bit pattern on channel 2. The wide variety of trigger types and context-sensitive help in the trigger menu make it easier than ever to isolate the event of interest.
Datasheet TekVPI Probe Interface ® The TekVPI probe interface sets the standard for ease of use in probing. In addition to the secure, reliable connection that the interface provides, many TekVPI probes feature status indicators and controls, as well as a probe menu button right on the comp box itself. This button brings up a probe menu on the oscilloscope display with all relevant settings and controls for the probe.
4 Series MSO Comprehensive analysis for fast insight Basic waveform analysis Verifying that your prototype's performance matches simulations and meets the project's design goals requires careful analysis, ranging from simple checks of rise times and pulse widths to sophisticated power loss analysis, characterization of system clocks, and investigation of noise sources.
Datasheet Navigation and search Finding your event of interest in a long waveform record can be time consuming without the right search tools. With today's record lengths of many millions of data points, locating your event can mean scrolling through literally thousands of screens of signal activity. The 4 Series MSO offers the industry's most comprehensive search and ® waveform navigation with its innovative Wave Inspector controls. These controls speed panning and zooming through your record.
4 Series MSO Serial protocol triggering and analysis (optional) During debugging, it can be invaluable to trace the flow of activity through a system by observing the traffic on one or more serial buses. It could take many minutes to manually decode a single serial packet, much less the thousands of packets that may be present in a long acquisition.
Datasheet Spectrum View (optional) Intuitive spectrum analyzer controls like center frequency, span and resolution bandwidth (RBW), independent from time domain controls, provide easy setup for frequency domain analysis. A spectrum view is available for each FlexChannel analog input, enabling multi-channel mixed domain analysis. It is often easier to debug an issue by viewing one or more signals in the frequency domain.
4 Series MSO Spectrum Time gates the range of time where the FFT is being calculated. Represented by a small graphical rectangle in the time domain view, it can be positioned to provide time correlation with the time domain waveform. Perfect for conducting Mixed Domain Analysis. Up to 11 automated peak markers provide frequency and magnitude values of each peak. The Reference marker is always the highest peak shown and is indicated in red. www.tek.
Datasheet Power analysis (optional) The 4 Series MSO has also integrated the optional 4-PWR-BAS/SUP4PWR-BAS power analysis package into the oscilloscope's automatic measurement system to enable quick and repeatable analysis of power quality, input capacitance, in-rush current, harmonics, switching loss, safe operating area (SOA), modulation, ripple, efficiency, amplitude and timing measurements, and slew rate (dv/dt and di/dt). The Power Analysis measurements display a variety of waveforms and plots.
4 Series MSO Designed with your needs in mind Connectivity The 4 Series MSO contains a number of ports which you can use to connect the instrument to a network, directly to a PC, or to other test equipment. Three USB 2.0 ports on the front and two more USB 2.0 host ports on the rear panel enable easy transfer of screen shots, instrument settings, and waveform data to a USB mass storage device. A USB mouse and keyboard can also be attached to USB host ports for instrument control and data entry.
Datasheet Help when you need it The 4 Series MSO includes several helpful resources so you can get your questions answered rapidly without having to find a manual or go to a website: Graphical images and explanatory text are used in numerous menus to provide quick feature overviews. All menus include a question mark icon in the upper right that takes you directly to the portion of the integrated help system that applies to that menu.
