Stacked Display Mode
Most scopes display all waveforms in the same graticule and rely on vertical
scale controls to fit signals on the display. Each waveform uses a fraction of
the available ADC range, leading to less accurate measurements.
New stacked display mode lets you view each waveform in its own “slice”
of the display. Each slice represents the full ADC range for the waveform for
more accurate measurements.
The more traditional overlay display mode is also available, for easy direct
comparison of waveforms.
More Inputs and Mixed Signal Analysis
The 4 and 5 Series MSOs let you see more signals by going beyond
the traditional 4-channel limit, offering up to 8 analog input channels.
FlexChannel
®
inputs on the 4, 5, and 6 Series MSOs expand your
visibility even further. Whenever you need to see more signals, just
plug a TLP058 logic probe into any input. The single analog channel
converts to 8 digital channels. FlexChannel inputs are backward-
compatible with TekVPI probes.
The 3 Series MDO offers 16 digital channels through a dedicated
logic probe, included with the MSO option.
Industry-leading Vertical Resolution
See more signal detail. The 4, 5, and 6 Series MSOs feature 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that provide 16 times
more vertical resolution than common 8-bit ADCs.
A new High Res mode further boosts vertical resolution and uses smart filtering to limit noise. High Res mode always provides
at least 12 bits and extends all the way to 16 bits of vertical resolution.
