Logic Analyzer (optional)
The logic analyzer (option MDO3MSO) provides 16 digital channels which
are tightly integrated into the oscilloscope's user interface. This simplifies
operation and makes it possible to solve mixed-signal issues easily.
The MDO3000 with MDO3MSO option provides 16 integrated digital channels enabling
you to view and analyze time-correlated analog and digital signals.
Color-coded digital waveform display
Color-coded digital traces display ones in green and zeros in blue. This
coloring is also used in the digital channel monitor. The monitor shows if
signals are high, low, or are transitioning so you can see channel activity at
a glance without having to clutter your display with unneeded digital
waveforms.
The multiple transition detection hardware shows you a white edge on the
display when the system detects multiple transitions. White edges indicate
that more information is available by zooming in or acquiring at faster
sampling rates. In most cases zooming in will reveal the pulse that was not
viewable with the previous settings. If the white edge is still present after
zooming in as far as possible, this indicates that increasing the sample rate
on the next acquisition will reveal higher frequency information than the
previous settings could acquire.
You can group digital waveforms and enter waveform labels by using a
USB keyboard. By simply placing digital waveforms next to each other, they
form a group.
With color-coded digital waveform display, groups are created by simply placing digital
channels together on the screen, allowing digital channels to be moved as a group.
Once a group is formed, you can position all the channels contained in that
group collectively. This greatly reduces the normal setup time associated
with positioning channels individually
MagniVu
high-speed acquisition
The main digital acquisition mode on the MDO3000 Series will capture up
to 10 M at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main record, the
MDO3000 provides an ultra high-resolution record called MagniVu which
acquires 10,000 points at up to 8.25 GS/s (121.2 ps resolution). Both main
and MagniVu waveforms are acquired on every trigger and can be switched
between in the display at any time, running or stopped. MagniVu provides
significantly finer timing resolution than comparable oscilloscopes on the
market, instilling confidence when making critical timing measurements on
digital waveforms.
