Unprecedented signal viewing capability

The stunning 13.3-inch (338 mm) display in the 4 Series MSO is the largest

display in its class. It is also the highest resolution display, with full HD

resolution (1,920 x 1,080), enabling you to see many signals at once with

ample room for critical readouts and analysis.

The viewing area is optimized to ensure that the maximum vertical space is

available for waveforms. The Results Bar on the right can be hidden,

enabling the waveform view to use the full width of the display.

Stacked display mode enables easy visibility of all waveforms while maintaining maximum ADC resolution on each input for the most accurate measurements.

The 4 Series MSO offers a revolutionary new Stacked display mode.

Historically, scopes have overlaid all waveforms in the same graticule,

forcing difficult tradeoffs:

To make each waveform visible, you vertically scale and position each

waveform so that they don't overlap. Each waveform uses a small

percentage of the available ADC range, leading to less accurate

measurements.

For measurement accuracy, you vertically scale and position each

waveform to cover the entire display. The waveforms overlap each

other, making it hard to distinguish signal details on individual

waveforms

The new Stacked display eliminates this tradeoff. It automatically adds and

removes additional horizontal waveform 'slices' (additional graticules) as

waveforms are created and removed. Each slice represents the full ADC

range for the waveform. All waveforms are visually separated from each

other while still using the full ADC range, enabling maximum visibility and

accuracy. And it's all done automatically as waveforms are added or

removed! Channels can easily be reordered in stacked display mode by

dragging and dropping the channel and waveform badges in the Settings

bar at the bottom of the display. Groups of channels can also be overlaid

within a slice to simplify visual comparison of signals.

The large display in the 4 Series MSO also provides plenty of viewing area

not only for signals, but also for plots, measurement results tables, bus

decode tables and more. You can easily resize and relocate the various

views to suit your application.
