Datasheet

Designed with your needs in mind
Connectivity
The 4 Series MSO contains a number of ports which you can use to
connect the instrument to a network, directly to a PC, or to other test
equipment.
Three USB 2.0 ports on the front and two more USB 2.0 host ports on
the rear panel enable easy transfer of screen shots, instrument
settings, and waveform data to a USB mass storage device. A USB
mouse and keyboard can also be attached to USB host ports for
instrument control and data entry.
The rear panel USB Device port is useful for controlling the
oscilloscope remotely from a PC.
The standard 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port on the rear of the
instrument enables easy connection to networks and provides LXI Core
2011 compatibility.
The HDMI port on the rear of the instrument lets you duplicate the
instrument display on an external monitor or projector with 1,920 x
1,080 resolution.
The I/O you need to connect the 4 Series MSO to the rest of your design environment.
Remote operation to improve collaboration

The embedded e*Scope
®
capability enables fast control of the oscilloscope
over a network connection through a standard web browser. Simply enter
the IP address or network name of the oscilloscope and a web page will be
served to the browser. Control the oscilloscope remotely in the exact same
way that you do in-person.
The industry-standard TekVISA
™
protocol interface is included for using
and enhancing Windows applications for data analysis and documentation.
IVI-COM instrument drivers are included to enable easy communication
with the oscilloscope using LAN or USBTMC connections from an external
PC.
e*Scope provides simple remote viewing and control using common web browsers.
Arbitrary/Function Generator (AFG)
The 4 Series MSO contains an optional integrated arbitrary/function
generator, perfect for simulating sensor signals within a design or adding
noise to signals to perform margin testing. The integrated function
generator provides output of predefined waveforms up to 50 MHz for sine,
square, pulse, ramp/triangle, DC, noise, sin(x)/x (Sinc), Gaussian, Lorentz,
exponential rise/fall, Haversine and cardiac. The arbitrary waveform
generator provides 128 k points of record for loading saved waveforms
from an internal file location or a USB mass storage device. The 4 Series
MSO is compatible with Tektronix' ArbExpress PC-based waveform
creation and editing software, making creation of complex waveforms fast
and easy.
Digital Voltmeter (DVM) and Trigger Frequency
Counter
The 4 Series MSO contains an integrated 4-digit digital voltmeter (DVM)
and 8-digit trigger frequency counter. Any of the analog inputs can be a
source for the voltmeter, using the same probes that are already attached
for general oscilloscope usage. The counter provides a very precise
readout of the frequency of the trigger event on which you’re triggering.
Both the DVM and trigger frequency counter are available for free and are
activated when you register your product.
Enhanced security option
The optional 4-SEC enhanced security option enables password-protected
enabling/disabling of all instrument I/O ports and firmware upgrades. In
addition, option 4-SEC provides the highest level of security by ensuring
that internal memory is clear of all setup and waveform data in compliance
with National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) DoD
5220.22-M, Chapter 8 requirements as well as Defense Security Service
Manual for the Certification and Accreditation of Classified Systems under
the NISPOM. This ensures you can confidently move the instrument out of
a secure area.
