Power Analysis ( Op tional)
Ever increasing consumer dem and for longe r battery-life devices and for
green solutions that consume less power require power-supply de signers
to characterize and minimize switching losses to improve efficiency. In
addition, the supply’s power levels, output purity, and harmonic feedback
into the power line must be characterized to comply with national and
regional
power qu ality standards. Historically, making these and many
other power measurements on an oscilloscope has been a long, manual,
and tedious process. The MSO/DPO3000 Series optional power analysis
tools greatly simplify these tasks, enabling quick and accurate analysis
of power quality, switching loss, harmonics, safe operating area (SOA),
modulation, ripple, and slew rate (di/dt, dv/dt). Completely integrated into
the osci
lloscope, the power analysis tools provide automated, repeatable
power measurements w ith a touch of a button; no external PC or complex
software setup is required.

Video Design and Development
Many video engineers have remained loyal to analog oscilloscopes,
believing the intensity gradations on an analog display are the only way
to se e certain video waveform details. The MSO/DPO3000 Series fast
waveform capture rate, coupled with its intensity-graded v iew of the signal,
provides the same information-rich display as an analog oscilloscope, but
with much m
ore detail and a ll t he benefits of digital scopes.
Standard features such as IRE and mV graticules, holdoff by fields, video
polarity,
and an Autoset smart enough to detect video signals, make the
MSO/DPO3000 Series the easiest to use oscilloscope on the market for
video applications. And with up to a 500 MHz bandwidth, four analog inputs,
and a built-in 75  input termination, the MSO/DPO3000 Series provides
ample perfo rmance for analog and digital video use.
The MSO/DPO3000 Series video functionality is further exte nded with
the optional DPO3VID video application module. DPO3VID provides the
industry’s most complete suite of HDTV and custom (nonstandard) video
triggers
