Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes — MSO3000 Series, DPO3000 Series
Digital phosphor technology enables greater than 50,000 wfm/s waveform capture rate
and real-time intensity grading on the MSO/DPO3000 Series.
Digital Phosphor Technology
The MSO/DPO3000 Series’ digital phosphor technology provides you with
fast insight into the real operation of your device. Its fast waveform capture
rate – greater than 50,000 wfm/s – gives you a high probabil
ity of quickly
seeing the infrequent problems commo n in digita l systems: runt pulses,
glitches, timing issues, and more.
Waveforms are superimposed with one ano ther and waveform points that
occur more frequently are intensified . This quickly highlights the events
that over time occur mo re often or, in the case of infrequent anomalies,
occur less of ten.
With the MSO/DPO3000 Series, you can choose infinite persistence
or variable persisten ce, d etermining how long the previous waveform
acquisitions stay on screen. This allows you to determine how often an
anomaly is occurring.
Mixed Signal Design and An a lysis
(MSO Series)
The MSO3000 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes provide 16 digital
channels. These channels are tightly integrated into the oscilloscope’s user
interface, simplifying operation and making it possible to solve mixed-signal
issues easily.
The MSO Seri
es provides 16 integrated digital channels enabling you to view and analyze
time-corre
lated analog and digital signals.
With the color-coded digital waveform display, groups are created by simply placing digital
channels together on the screen, allowing the digital channels to be moved as a group.
You can set threshold values for each pod of eight channels, enabling support for up to
two different logic families.
Color-
coded Digital Waveform Display
The MSO3000 Series has redefined the way you view digital waveforms.
One com
mon problem sha red by both logic analyzers a nd mixed-signal
oscilloscopes is determining if data is a one o r a zero when zoomed in far
enough that the digital trace stays flat all the way across the display. The
MSO3000 Series has color-coded digital traces, displaying ones in green
and zeros in blue.
