Datasheet

Digital Channels (optional)
The logic analyzer (option 3-MSO) 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 3 Series MDO with 3-MSO option is used to simultaneously view analog and digital
signals by probing both sides of a D/A converter.
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 easily on the
touchscreen. 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 3 Series MDO will capture up to
10 M at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main record, the
3 Series MDO 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.
P6316 MSO probe
This unique probe design offers two eight-channel pods, simplifying the
process of connecting to the device-under-test. When connecting to square
pins, the P6316 can connect directly to 8×2 square pin headers spaced on
tenth-inch centers. When more attachment flexibility is required, you can
use the included flying lead sets and grabbers to clip onto surface mount
devices or test points. The P6316 offers outstanding electrical
characteristics applying only 8 pF of capacitive loading with 101 kΩ input
impedance.
The P6316 MSO probe offers two eight-channel pods to simplify connecting to your
device.
