Tektronix introduced the 5 Series MSO (mixed signal oscilloscope). To better meet modern electronics design challenges, the midrange oscilloscope boasts a host of innovations including the industry’s first FlexChannel technology that allows 4, 6 or 8 analog channels and up to 64 digital channels, integrated protocol analysis and signal generator, and a new 12-bit signal acquisition system.
By default, the reconfigurable input is a TekVPI+ connector that accepts all TekVPI analog probes, but when the new TLP058 logic probe is connected the input is converted to 8 digital channels. The user can add as many logic probes as they need, enabling anywhere from 8 to 64 digital channels. Digital signals are sampled, triggered and stored the same as analog signals, greatly simplifying comparisons.
The 5 Series MSO has a 15,6” capacitive touch, high definition (1920 x 1080 pixel) display allowing for faster and more intuitive operation along with more space for viewing waveforms and correlating signals. For added flexibility, users can also drive the oscilloscope using a mouse and conventional front-panel controls.
The instruments can be purchased or field upgraded as needs change with an arbitrary/function generator (AFG), digital probes, extended record length up to 125 Mpoints, additional protocol support, and bandwidth up to 1 GHz (an upgrade to 2 GHz is available). They are backed by a three-year warranty.
