MSO56B 5-BW-1000 Tektronix Mixed Signal Oscilloscope

Features:

• 1 GHz bandwidth
• 6 Flex Channels
• Each Flex Channel provides one analog signal or eight digital logic inputs with optional TLP058 logic probe
• Real time sample rate: 6.25 GS/s (all analog/digital channels)
• Record length: 62.5Mpoints (expandable via option)
• Waveform capture rate: > 500,000 waveforms/s
• Vertical resolution: 12-bit ADC, up to 16-bit in High Res mode
• 15.6” capacitive touchscreen (1920 x 1080 resolution)
• 5 Series B features several upgrades from the original Series 5
• Digital voltmeter option provided free from Tektronix with product registration

The 5 Series MSO offers better visibility into complex systems by offering four, six, and eight-channel models with a large 15.6-inch high-definition (1,920 x 1,080) display. Many applications, such as embedded systems, three-phase power electronics, automotive electronics, power supply design, and DC-to-DC power converters, require the observation of more than four analog signals to verify and characterize device performance and to debug challenging system issues.

5 Series vs 5 Series B

Tektronix now offers the 5 Series B MSO with several enhancements over the original Series 5.

New features include

• New auxiliary trigger input that lets users synchronize the oscilloscope to an external signal without consuming any of the 4, 6, or 8 full-capability input channels
• Maximum frequency for the optional, built-in arbitrary/function generator increased from 50MHz to a best in class 100 MHz
• A faster processor makes controls even more responsive and will support additional, more complex measurement analysis in the future
• History Mode leverages the 5 Series B's extended memory, allowing users to capture thousands of triggered events and easily review them to find events of interest
• Solid State Drive System ensures all user data is stored on a removable drive. For secure labs where measurement data integrity is mission-critical

FlexChannel Technology enables maximum Flexibility and Broader System Visibility

The 5 Series MSO redefines what a Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) should be. FlexChannel technology enables each channel input to be used as a single analog channel, eight digital logic inputs (with the TLP058 logic probe), or simultaneous analog and spectrum views with independent acquisition controls for each domain. Imagine the flexibility and configurability this provides.

With an eight FlexChannel model, you can configure the instrument to look at eight analogs and zero digital signals. Or seven analog and eight digital. Or six analog and 16 digital, five analog and 24 digital, and so on. You can change the configuration at any time by simply adding or removing TLP058 logic probes, so you always have the right number of digital channels.
