Accurate high-speed detection technology

Each MSO/DPO5000 series oscilloscope comes standard with multiple TPP series probes, providing up to 1 GHz of analog bandwidth and <4 pF capacitive loading. Ultra-low capacitive loading minimizes negative impact on the circuit and can support longer ground wires more efficiently. Additionally, because the probe bandwidth matches the oscilloscope bandwidth, you can view high-frequency components in the signal, which is critical for high-speed applications. The TPP Series passive voltage probes offer all the benefits of a general-purpose probe, such as high dynamic range, flexible connection options, and a rugged and reliable mechanical design, while delivering the performance of an active probe.

Probes - With bandwidths up to 1 GHz and capacitive loading of ≤ 4 pF, they provide active probe performance that is superior to the passive probes included with other mid-range oscilloscopes.

Quick discovery

If you want to debug a design problem, you first have to know there is a problem. Every design engineer spends a lot of time looking for problems in circuits. Without suitable debugging tools, this task is time-consuming and very troublesome. The MSO/DPO5000B Series provides the industry's most complete event capture and isolation capabilities, enabling rapid and in-depth analysis of the real operating conditions of the equipment. Tektronix' proprietary FastAcq™ technology provides fast waveform capture, capable of capturing more than 250,000 waveforms per second. You can see glitches and other infrequent transients in seconds, revealing the true cause of problems in the device under test. reason. Digital fluorescent displays with color intensity levels display historical information on signal activity through different intensities in signal areas, thereby visually displaying the frequency of abnormal events.

Discovery – Fast waveform capture rates (over 250,000 wfm/s) maximize the chance of capturing elusive glitches and other infrequent events.

High vertical resolution

If your measurements require capturing high-amplitude signals while viewing smaller signal details, you can take advantage of the MSO/DPO5000B's flexible acquisition capabilities to capture the signal of interest and eliminate the effects of unnecessary noise. Using HiRes, the acquisition vertical resolution can be increased to 11 bits and signal noise can be reduced. In addition, channel input filters can be used or various DSP filters can be applied to further improve signal fidelity.

Capture - HiRes Acquisition - Increased vertical resolution to 11 bits and eliminates noise on 650 V Pk-Pk signals, allowing you to view even finer signal details below 1 V Pk-Pk, with or without a low-pass filter applied.

long record length

With a record length of up to 250M points, you can capture multiple events of interest, or even thousands of serial data packets, in one acquisition, while maintaining a high enough sampling rate to zoom in and observe signal details for further analysis. For complex analysis such as timing interval error (TIE) measurements, long record lengths ensure you capture sufficient data to handle clock recovery and create jitter profiles. Unlike other oscilloscopes in its class, the MSO/DPO5000B features flexible settings for record length and adoption rate to ensure optimal resolution.

Capture - 100M point acquisition and HiRes acquisition - increased vertical resolution to 11 bits, doubling the magnification to show waveform details.

Segmented storage

To improve data capture efficiency, delimited storage can extend the total capture time. FastFrame™ segmented memory mode lets you select up to 290,000 memory segments with capture rates of up to 310,000 triggers per second. In addition to storage flexibility, individual segments are time-stamped and multiple segments can be viewed individually or viewed and analyzed in an overlapping manner using advanced features such as protocol decoding.

FastFrame™ - Efficiently manage storage by capturing SPI bus data in a time-stamped manner and analyzing serial bus decodes over multiple packets using user-selectable memory segments. Shown here are frames 1, 2, and 9.

The MSO5000B series mixed-signal oscilloscope provides 16 digital channels. These channels are tightly integrated into the oscilloscope's user interface, simplifying operation and making it easy to solve mixed-signal problems. MSO functionality can also be added as a user upgrade option. Color-coded digital waveform display

The MSO5000B Series redefines the way you view digital waveforms. Other mixed-signal oscilloscopes share the problem of determining whether data is a 1 or a 0 when the zoom level is large enough so that the digital trace remains flat on the display. To avoid this problem, the MSO5000B Series has color-coded digital traces that display 1's in green and 0's in blue.

With a color-coded digital waveform display that indicates low logic values ​​in blue and high logic values ​​in green, bus values ​​are immediately understood regardless of whether the transition is visible or not.

The MSO5000B Series multi-transition detection hardware displays a white border on the display when the system detects multiple transitions. White edges indicate that more information can be obtained by zooming in or collecting at a faster sampling rate. In most cases, zooming in can reveal pulses not visible with previous setups. MagniVu™ high-speed acquisition technology

The main digital acquisition mode on the MSO5000 Series will capture up to 40 M points at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to main recording, the MSO5000 offers an ultra-high-resolution recording called MagniVu, which acquires 10,000 points at a sampling rate of up to 16.5 GS/s (60.6 ps). The main waveform and MagniVu waveform are acquired at every trigger, and the main waveform or MagniVu waveform can be displayed at any time while running or stopped. MagniVu's timing resolution is significantly finer than similar mixed-signal oscilloscopes on the market, giving you greater confidence when making critical timing measurements on digital waveforms.

MagniVu high-resolution recording provides 60.6 ps timing resolution, enabling critical timing measurements on digital waveforms.

Versatile triggering and searching

Discovering a circuit problem is only the first step; then, you must capture the events of interest to determine the root cause. The MSO/DPO5000B series provides a complete set of trigger functions, including runt trigger, glitch trigger, pulse width trigger, timeout trigger, transition trigger, pattern trigger, status trigger, setup time/hold time violation trigger, serial Packet triggering and parallel data triggering help you find events quickly.
