Usability and Display

Touch Interaction Done Right

These next-generation oscilloscopes feature the industry’s first oscilloscope user interface truly designed for touch. The same intuitive gestures you use with your phone or tablet work on the big HD displays and the gestures are common among the 3, 4, 5 and 6 Series.

Control inputs, triggers and acquisitions by tapping badges in the settings bar at the bottom of the display
Drag waveforms to adjust position or to pan
Pinch to change horizontal or vertical scale

Stunning HD Displays

The 15.6" displays on 5 and 6 Series MSOs have 1920 × 1080 HD resolution. You can see many signals at once, along with critical readouts and plots for an extensive view of your system.

Even with their bench-friendly footprints, the 3 and 4 Series offer the largest displays in their classes, with full 1920 × 1080 HD resolution.

Performance and Measurements

More Inputs and Mixed Signal Analysis

The 4, 5 and 6 Series MSOs let you see more signals by going beyond the traditional 4-channel limit, offering up to 8 analog input channels.

FlexChannel™ inputs on the 4, 5, and 6 Series MSOs expand your visibility even further. Whenever you need to see more signals, just plug a TLP058 logic probe into any input. The single analog channel converts to 8 digital channels. FlexChannel inputs are compatible with TekVPI probes.

The 3 Series MDO offers 16 digital channels through a dedicated logic probe, included with the MSO option.

Industry-leading Vertical Resolution

See more signal detail. The 4, 5, and 6 Series MSOs feature 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that provide 16 times more vertical resolution than common 8-bit ADCs.

A new High Res mode further boosts vertical resolution and uses smart filtering to limit noise. High Res mode always provides at least 12 bits and extends all the way to 16 bits of vertical resolution.

Stacked Display Mode

Most scopes display all waveforms in the same graticule and rely on vertical scale controls to fit signals on the display. Each waveform uses a fraction of the available ADC range, leading to less accurate measurements.

New stacked display mode lets you view each waveform in its own "slice" of the display. Each slice represents the full ADC range for the waveform for more accurate measurements.

The more traditional overlay display mode is also available, for easy direct comparison of waveforms.

Powerful Measurements

The Results Bar on the right side of the display includes immediate, one-tap access to the most common analytical tools such as:

Cursors
Automated measurements
Measurement statistics
Searches
Bus decode tables

Gain rich insights with easy access to measurement statistics. Turn on statistics in the Results Bar to get a quick overview.

Advanced Measurements and Analysis

Dive into measurements with Results Tables. Results Tables show statistics for the current acquisition and for all acquisitions. Get insight into one measurement, a hundred measurements, or millions of measurements at a glance.

Plots, such as measurement trends and histograms, provide quick visualizations.

FastAcq™ High Speed Waveform Capture

FastAcq captures at high speed to increase the probability of seeing infrequent problems such as runt pulses, glitches, timing issues, and more.

FastFrame™ Segmented Memory and History Mode

Make the most efficient use of acquisition memory by not storing deadtime between serial packets or bursts. Capture many triggered frames in a single record.

Integrated Spectrum Analysis

Spectrum View

Because traditional scope FFTs are driven by the same acquisition system that delivers the analog time-domain view, it is virtually impossible to get optimized views in both domains at once.

Spectrum View is different. It lets you independently adjust time and frequency-domain views, by using patented technology behind each FlexChannel input. You can turn on a spectrum view for any analog channel, enabling multi-channel mixed domain analysis.

Intuitive spectrum analyzer controls like center frequency, span and resolution bandwidth (RBW) make setups easy, and RF vs time triggers make capturing anomalies straightforward.

Built-in Spectrum Analyzer

The Tektronix 3 Series MDO offers an integrated, hardware-based spectrum analyzer ranging from 9 kHz to 1 GHz (standard) or 3 GHz enabling spectral analysis on IoT and most consumer wireless standards.

Built-in Arbitrary/Function Generator (AFG)

An integrated function generator is perfect for testing frequency response, simulating sensor signals, and adding noise to signals for stress testing.

13 standard waveform functions
50 MHz Sine / 25 MHz Square and Pulse (100 MHz Sine / 50 MHz Square and Pulse on 5 Series B MSO)
128k, 250 MS/s arbitrary waveforms

Connectivity

Every instrument includes a USB device port and LXI-compliant Ethernet port for remote control. A thoroughly documented programming interface supports custom programming.

With e*Scope built-in, you can control the oscilloscope over a network using only a standard web browser.

Optional Windows OS

The 5 and 6 Series MSOs offer the option of including a Microsoft Windows™ operating system. The option provides a Windows desktop where you can install and run additional applications on the oscilloscope.

Upgrading to Windows is as simple as plugging in a pre-configured SSD.

Applications and Advanced Analysis.Emphasis on Analysis.

Built-in features, available probes, and optional analysis packages support a wide range of applications.
