Features:

5 Series B MSO; (4) FlexChannels with 1 GHz bandwidth, 62.5 Mpoint record length, 6.25 GS/s sampling rate (all channels), 15.6 inch touchscreen

  • 1 GHz bandwidth
  • 4 Flex Channels
  • Each Flex Channel provides one analog signal or eight digital logic inputs with an 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.

Unprecedented Signal Viewing Capability

The stunning 15.6" (396 mm) display in the 5 Series MSO is the largest display in the industry, providing 100% more display area than a scope with a 10.4" (264 mm) display. It is also the highest resolution display, with full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080), enabling you to see many signals at once with ample room for critical readouts and analysis.

The viewing area is optimized to ensure that the maximum vertical space is available for waveforms. The Results Bar on the right can be hidden, enabling the waveform view to use the full width of the display.

The 5 Series MSO also offers a revolutionary new Stacked display mode. Historically, scopes have overlaid all waveforms in the same graticule, forcing difficult tradeoffs:

  • To make each waveform visible, you vertically scale and position each waveform so that they don't overlap. Each waveform uses a small percentage of the available ADC range, leading to less accurate measurements.
  • For measurement accuracy, you vertically scale and position each waveform to cover the entire display. The waveforms overlap each other, making it hard to distinguish signal details on individual waveforms

The new Stacked display eliminates this tradeoff. It automatically adds and removes additional horizontal waveform 'slices' (additional graticules) as waveforms are created and removed. Each slice represents the full ADC range for the waveform. All waveforms are visually separated from each other while still using the full ADC range, enabling maximum visibility and accuracy. And it's all done automatically as waveforms are added or removed! Channels can easily be reordered in stacked display mode by dragging and dropping the channel and waveform badges in the Settings bar at the bottom of the display. Groups of channels can also be overlaid within a slice to simplify the visual comparison of signals.

The massive display in the 5 Series MSO also provides plenty of viewing area not only for signals, but also for plots, measurement results tables, bus decode tables, and more. You can easily resize and relocate the various views to suit your application.
