Data Sheet
With the co
lor-coded digital waveform display, low values are shown in blue and high
values are
shown in green, enabling instant understanding of the bus value whether
transitio
ns are visible or not. You can set threshold values for each channel, enabling
support fo
r up to 16 different logic families.
Accurate High-speed Probing
The TPP Series probes, included standa rd with every MSO/DPO5000
Series oscilloscope, provide up to 1 GHz of analog bandwidth, and less than
4 pF of capacitive loading. The extremely low capacitive loading minimizes
adverse affects on your circuits and is more forgiving of longer ground
leads. And with the probe's wide bandwidth, you can see the high-frequency
componen
ts in your signal, which is critical for high-speed applications. T he
TPP Series passive voltage probes offer all the benefits of general-purpose
probes like h igh dynamic ra nge, flexible connection options, and robust
mechanical design, while providing the performance of active probes.
Mixed Signal Design and Analysis
(MSO Series)
The MSO5
000 Series mixed-signal oscilloscopes provide 16 digital
channels. These channe ls are tightly integrated into the oscilloscope's user
interface, simplifying opera tion and making it possible to solve mixed-signal
issues easily.
Color-coded Digita l Waveform Display
The MSO5000 Series has redefined the way you view digital waveforms.
One common problem with other mixed-signal oscilloscopes is determining
The MagniVu high-resolution record provides 60.6 ps timing resolution, enabling you to
make critical timing measurements on your digital waveforms.
if dat
a is a one or a zero when zoomed in far enough that the digital
trace stays flat all the way across the display. To avoid this problem, the
MSO5000 Series has color-coded digital tra ces, displaying ones in green
and zeros in blue.
The mul
tiple transition detection hardw are of the MSO5000 Series will show
you when the system detects more than one transition. This indicates that
more information is a vailable by zoom ing in or acquiring at faster sampling
rates. In most cases zooming in will reveal a glitch that was not viewable
with the previous settings.
MagniVu™ High-speed Acquisition
The main digital acquisition mode on the MSO5000 Series will capture up
to 40M points at 50 0 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main record,
the MSO5000 provides an ultra high-resolution record called Magn iVu
which acquires 10 ,000 points at up to 16.5 GS/s (60.6 ps resolution).
Both the main and MagniVu waveforms are acquired on every trigg er
and eith
er can be displayed at any time, running or stopped. MagniVu
provides significantly finer timing resolution than comparable mixed-signal
oscilloscopes on the market, instilling con fidence whe n making critical
timing measurements on digital waveforms.
