Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes — MSO5000, DPO5000 Series
The P6616 MSO probe offers two eight-channel pods to simplify connecting to your
device.
P6616 MSO
Probe
This unique probe design offers two eight-channel pods. Each channel end s
withapro
be tip featuring a recessed ground for simplified connection to the
device under test. The coax o n the first channel of each pod is colored blue
making it easy to identify. The c ommon ground use s an automotive-style
connector making it easy to create custom gro unds for c onnecting to your
device. When connecting to square pins, the P6616 has an adapter that
attaches to the probe head, extending the probe ground flushwiththeprobe
tipsoyo
u can attach to a header. The P66 16 offers outstanding electrical
characteristics, having only 3 pF of capacitive loading, a 100 k input
resistance, and capable of acqu iring togg le rates as fast as 500 MHz and
pulses as short as 1 ns in duration.
Visual Trigger (Optional)
The Visual Trigger option add s an ad ditional dimension to the sta ndard
trigger system that provides a n intuitive method of triggering based on
shapes in the oscilloscope’s graticule. It e nables the user to define shapes
on the o scilloscope’s display that qualify trigger events for the incoming
signal
s. Areas can be created using a variety of sh apes including triangles,
rectangles, hexagons, or trapezoids to fit the area to the particular trigger
behavior desired. Once shapes a re created on the oscilloscope’s display,
they can be positioned and/or re-sized dynamically while the oscilloscope
is in Run mode to create ideal trigger conditions. Visual Trigger can be
combined with the standard triggers and act as a Boolean l ogic qualifier
for the
“A” and “B” events.
Serial Triggering and Analysis (Optional)
On a serial bus, a single signal often includes address, control, data,
and clock information. This can make isolating events of interest
difficult. T he MSO/DPO5000 Series offers a robust set of t ools for
Eye Diagram triggering using optional Visual Trigger.
Triggering on a specific OUT Token packet on a USB full-speed serial bus. A bus
waveform provides decoded packet content including Start, Sync, PID, Address, End
Point, CRC, Data values, and Stop.

Serial Triggering
Trigger on packet conte nt such as start of packet, specificaddresses,
specific data con tent, unique identifiers, etc. on popular serial interfaces
such as I

C, SPI, RS-232/422/485/UART, and USB.
Bus Display
Provides a higher-level, combined view of the individual signals (clock, data,
chip enable, etc.) that make up your bus, making it easy to identify w here
packets begin and end and identifying subpacket components s uch as
address, data, identifier, CRC, etc.
