Tektronix launches two new oscilloscopes

With the new Series 3 MDO and Series 4 MSO with the largest display in its class, Tektronix provides more options for all engineers.

Tektronix adds two new products to its portfolio with the launch of the new Series 3 MDO and Series 4 MSO, which offer the greatest power, versatility and ease of use on the market. Building on the award-winning user experience first introduced in Series 5 and 6 MSOs, new Series 3 MDO and Series 4 MSO They feature a highly intuitive touchscreen user interface, the highest and highest resolution display in its class, and modern industrial design.

Now with more options in a range of demanding applications, Tektronix's cutting-edge product portfolio offers advanced measurement and analysis capabilities, plus provides a full range of performance options for engineers.

Chris Witt, vice president and general manager of the Time Domain Business Unit at Tektronix, says our teams spent hundreds of hours meeting with engineers around the world, testing and prototyping new features and designs, and we are excited to bring the products to market. “better oscilloscopes, based on information from everyday engineers.”

Witt goes on to highlight that “we made ease of use and versatility a priority, so engineers can spend time innovating and solving difficult problems and not trying to figure out how to use their oscilloscopes.”

The Series 3 and 4 interface design with touchscreens and front panels keep key controls within easy reach so that instead of searching through multiple menus to find settings, engineers can simply double-tap the reading or measurement. appropriate on the screen. Series 4 MSO: Large screen, up to 6 Flex Channel inputs

The new Series 4 MSO features a 13.3 inch screen with 1920 x 1080 HD resolution, the highest resolution in its class. It offers bandwidths up to 1.5 GHz and uses 12-bit ADCs for the highest vertical resolution in its class. It is the first oscilloscope in this class to offer six input channels and with innovative FlexChannel technology, any input channel can be converted from one analog channel to eight digital channels simply by connecting a logic probe.

To meet a wide range of application requirements, the Series 4 MSO is available with bandwidths starting at 200 MHz and is well supported with options including serial decoding and analysis, a function/arbitrary generator, and a frequency counter/DVM.

The new one Spectrum View function offers time-correlated frequency domain analysis with independent spectrum controls. A power analysis package is available to automate AC line, switching device, ripple and sequence measurements. Bandwidth and options can be updated in the field. All models offer a sample rate of 6.25 GS/s on all analog and digital channels. Standard record length is 31.25 Mpoints with option for 62.5 Mpoints.

New levels of versatility

The Series 3 MDO is intended to be the versatile, compact test instrument found on every engineer's desk. It features a sleek industrial design and the largest screen in its class at 11.6 inches. With full high definition resolution. Use the same intuitive user interface than the rest of the wallet, with a similar set of buttons, but takes up less than 6 inches of bench depth.

The new series is more than an oscilloscope and can cover a wide range of debugging and validation tasks. Offers a Built-in spectrum analyzer up to 3 GHz, with an independent RF input and specifications comparable to a standalone analyzer. This allows engineers to quickly debug wireless components in their designs or quickly track down sources of unwanted EMI emissions without having to use another instrument. 16 digital input channels are available for mixed signal analysis.

Las Comprehensive serial protocol debugging and activation options, optional power metering and an optional AFG set the standard for versatility. A DVM/frequency counter is included free of charge with product registration. The new Series 3 MDO is available in bandwidths starting at 100 MHz and extending to 1 GHz. Models are available with sample rates of 2.5 GS/s or 5 GS/s on all analog channels and up to 8.25 GS/s on digital channels with a time resolution of 121.2 ps. The standard record length is 10 points. For investment protection, bandwidths and options are fully upgradeable.

The distance between the front of the oscilloscope and the device under test is critical to better understanding problem circuits. Both the Series 3 MDO and Series 4 use the TekVPI probe interface, which provides access to the full range of Tektronix differential voltage probes, active voltage probes and current probes, in addition to the newly developed power rail probes. introduced and optically isolated differential probes.
