Digital Phosphor technology with FastAcq
™
high-
speed waveform capture
To debug a design problem, first you must know it exists. Digital phosphor
technology with FastAcq provides you with fast insight into the real
operation of your device. Its fast waveform capture rate - greater than
500,000 waveforms per second - gives you a high probability of seeing the
infrequent problems common in digital systems: runt pulses, glitches, timing
issues, and more. To further enhance the visibility of rarely occurring
events, intensity grading indicates how often rare transients are occurring
relative to normal signal characteristics.
FastAcq's high waveform capture rate enables you to discover infrequent problems
common in digital design.
Industry leading vertical resolution
The 4 Series MSO provides the performance to capture the signals of
interest while minimizing the effects of unwanted noise when you need to
capture high-amplitude signals while seeing smaller signal details. At the
heart of the 4 Series MSO are 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs)
that provide 16 times the vertical resolution of traditional 8-bit ADCs.
A new High Res mode applies a hardware-based unique Finite Impulse
Response (FIR) filter based on the selected sample rate. The FIR filter
maintains the maximum bandwidth possible for that sample rate while
preventing aliasing and removing noise from the oscilloscope amplifiers
and ADC above the usable bandwidth for the selected sample rate. High
Res mode always provides at least 12 bits of vertical resolution and
extends all the way to 16 bits of vertical resolution at ≤125 MS/s sample
rates.
New lower-noise front end amplifiers further improve the 4 Series MSO's
ability to resolve fine signal detail.
The 4 Series MSO's 12-bit ADC, along with the new High Res mode, enable industry
leading vertical resolution.
Triggering
Discovering a device fault is only the first step. Next, you must capture the
event of interest to identify root cause. The 4 Series MSO provides a
complete set of advanced triggers, including:
Runt
Logic
Pulse width
Window
Timeout
Rise/Fall time
Setup and Hold violation
Serial packet
Parallel data
Sequence
Visual Trigger
With up to a 62.5 Mpoint record length, you can capture many events of
interest, even thousands of serial packets in a single acquisition, providing
high-resolution to zoom in on fine signal details and record reliable
measurements.
