CHOOSING YOUR OSCILLOSCOPE
TYPES OF OSCILLOSCOPES
Mixed Domain Oscilloscopes – 100 MHz to 1 GHz
The new standard for design and debug work. They offer
the same capabilities as mixed signal oscilloscopes, but they
also offer a built-in spectrum analyzer, adding RF debugging
to the analog/digital capabilities.
Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes – 70 MHz to 2 GHz
The engineer’s choice for design and debug. They combine
traditional oscilloscope input channels with 64 digital input
channels, long record length with powerful search features,
and protocol support for serial buses.
Advanced Signal Analysis Oscilloscopes –
350 MHz to 70 GHz
The emphasis is on analysis. They provide high acquisition
performance and run Windows, thus supporting a wide range
of analysis software. MSO versions include digital channels.
They can be equipped for serial data analysis, jitter analysis,
standards testing, and serial decoding capability.
