Comprehensive Features Speed Every Stage
of Debug
The MSO/DPO3000 Series offers a robust set of features to speed every
stage of debugging your design – from quickly discovering an anomaly and
capturing it, to searching your waveform record for the event and analyzing
its characteristics an d your device’s behavior.
Discover
To debug a design problem, first you must know it exists. Every
design engineer spends time looking f or problems in their design, a
time-consuming and frustrating task without the right debug tools.
The MSO/DPO3000 Series offers the industry’s most complete visualization
of signals, providing fast insight into the re al operation of your device. A
fast waveform ca pture rate - greater than 50,000 waveforms per second -
enables you to see glitches and other infrequent transients within seconds,
reveali
ng the true nature of device faults. A digital phosphor disp lay with
intensity grading shows the history of a signal’s activity by intensifying area s
of the signal that occur more frequently, providing a visual d isplay of just
how often anomalies occur.
Capture – Tr
iggering on a specific transmit data packet going across an RS-232 bus. A
complete se
t of triggers, including triggers for specific serial packet content, ensures you
quickly ca
pture your event of interest.
Capture
Discovering a device fault is only the first step. Next, you must capture the
event of interest to identify root cause.
The MSO/DPO3000 Series provides a complete set of triggers - including
runt, logic, pulse width/glitch, setup/hold violation, serial packet, and parallel
data - to help quickly findyourevent.Withuptoa5Mpointrecordlength,
you can capture many events of interest, even thousand s of serial packets,
in a single a cquisition for further analysis while maintaining high resolution
to zoom in
on fine signa l details.
From triggering on specific packet content to automatic de co de in multiple
data form
ats, the MSO/DPO3000 Series provides integrated support
for the industry’s broadest range of serial buses – I
2
C, SPI, CAN, LIN,
RS-232/422/485/UART, and I
2
S/LJ/RJ/TDM. The ability to decode up to
two serial and/or para llel buse s simultaneously means you gain insight into
system-level problems quickly.
To further help troubleshoot system-level interactions in complex embedded
systems, the MSO3000 S eries offers 16 digital channels in addition to
its analog c hannels. Since the digital channels are fully integrated into
the o sci
lloscope, you can trigge r across all input channels, automatically
time-correlating all a nalog, digital, and serial signals. The Mag niVu™
high-speed acquisition enables you to acquire fine signal detail (up to
121.2 ps resolution) a round the trigger point for precision measurements.
MagniVu is essen tial fo r making accura te timing measurements for
setup and hold measurements, clock delay, signal skew, and glitch
charact
erization.
