Typical applications
Embedded design
Discover and solve issues quickly by performing system level debug on
mixed signal embedded systems including today's most common serial
bus and wireless technologies.
Power design
Make reliable and repeatable voltage, current, and power
measurements using automated power quality, switching loss,
harmonics, ripple, modulation, and safe operating area measurements
with the widest selection of power probes in an affordable solution.
EMI troubleshooting
Quickly track down the source of EMI in an embedded system by
determining which time domain signals may be causing unwanted EMI.
See in real-time the effects time domain signals have on system EMI
emissions.
Wireless troubleshooting
Whether using Bluetooth, 802.11 WiFi, ZigBee, or some other wireless
technology, the MDO4000C enables viewing an entire system - analog,
digital, and RF, time-synchronized to understand its true behavior.
Capture an ultra-wide band in a single capture to view interactions
among multiple wireless technologies, or to view an entire broadband
frequency range from a modern standard like 802.11/ad.
Education
Managing multiple instruments on a bench can be troublesome. The
MDO4000C eliminates the need to manage multiple instruments by
integrating six instrument types into a single instrument. The integration
of a spectrum analyzer enables teaching of advanced wireless
technology course work while minimizing the investment required. Full
upgradeability enables adding functionality over time as needs change
or budgets allow.
Manufacturing Test and Troubleshooting
Size and space constraints can play havoc on a manufacturing floor.
The unique 6-in-1 MDO4000C minimizes rack or bench space by
integrating multiple instruments into one small package. Integration
reduces cost associated with utilizing multiple different instrument types
in manufacturing test or troubleshooting stations.

1- Oscilloscope
At the core of the MDO4000C Series is a world-class oscilloscope, offering
comprehensive tools that speed each stage of debug - from quickly
discovering anomalies and capturing them, to searching your waveform
record for events of interest and analyzing their characteristics and your
device's behavior.
Digital phosphor technology with FastAcq
™
high-speed waveform
capture
– To debug a design problem, first you must know it exists. Every
design engineer spends time looking for problems in their design, a time-
consuming and frustrating task without the right debug tools.
Digital phosphor technology with FastAcq provides you with fast insight into
the real operation of your device. Its fast waveform capture rate - greater
than 340,000 wfms/s - gives you a high probability of quickly 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
is used to indicate how often rare transients are occurring relative to normal
signal characteristics. There are four waveform palettes available in
FastAcq acquisition mode.
The
Temperature palette
uses color-grading to indicate frequency of
occurrence with hot colors like red/yellow indicating frequently
occurring events and colder colors like blue/green indicating rarely
occurring events.
The
Spectral palette
uses color-grading to indicate frequency of
occurrence with colder colors like blue indicating frequently occurring
events and hot colors like red indicating rarely occurring events.
The
Normal palette
uses the default channel color (like yellow for
channel one) along with gray-scale to indicate frequency of occurrence
where frequently occurring events are bright.
The
Inverted palette
uses the default channel color along with gray-
scale to indicate frequency of occurrence where rarely occurring events
are bright.
These color palettes quickly highlight the events that over time occur more
often or, in the case of infrequent anomalies, occur less often.
Infinite or variable persistence choices determine how long waveforms stay
on the display, helping you to determine how often an anomaly is occurring.
