8 Series

Increased throughput by disaggregation

The 8 Series enables inexpensive, adaptable, and scalable solutions by leveraging the separation of acquisition hardware from analysis software. Stream waveform data from the instrument through high-speed Ethernet to the analysis platform, limiting oscilloscope downtime and maximizing investment.

Enhanced analysis with TSOVu

TSOVu is the advanced application software for controlling the TSO820 Sampling Oscilloscope. This new software architecture is flexible, intuitive, and natively supports complex measurement of optical NRZ and PAM4 signals, including measurements such as TDECQ. Compare up to four optical channels side by side using various measurement and visualization tools.

  • Parallel channel acquisition and analysis
  • Streamlined programmatic interface for automation
  • Dynamic measurement report generation and data management solutions

Save time, space, and money with modular design

Optimize test setups with the 8 Series’ compact form factor and user-swappable modules to quickly adapt to changes in workflow and accommodate next generation technologies. The smaller form factor of 8 Series instruments, driven by higher density devices, significantly reduces overall production floor space. The TSO820 Sampling Oscilloscope Mainframe also features up to 8 times faster pattern acquisition as compared to the previous generation, increasing test throughput.

  • 3U High, half-rack wide
  • Scalable channel count
  • Up to 4 optical channels per system
