Tektronix 4 Series MSO oscilloscopes

The 4 Series MSO oscilloscopes, from Tektronix, feature an intuitive touchscreen user interface incorporating touch interactions similar to phones and tablets, a large, high-resolution display and modern industrial design. 12-bit ADCs provide 16 times the vertical resolution of traditional 8-bit ADCs, enabling users to capture signals of interest while minimising the effects of unwanted noise.

The MSO has been built to meet a diverse range of application requirements alongside enhanced user experience. Typical applications include embedded design and IoT, power design, education, manufacturing, test and troubleshooting, and service installation and maintenance.

The 13.3″ (1920 x 1080 HD resolution) capacitive touch display features a stacked display mode, automatically adding and removing additional horizontal waveform ‘slices’ (additional graticules) as waveforms are created and removed. Bandwidths range from 200 MHz to 1.5 GHz.

The product offers six input channels, avoiding the introduction of a second scope for complex applications such as embedded systems or power supply design. Innovative FlexChannel technology enables any input channel to be converted from an analog to eight digital channels simply by connecting a logic probe.

Other features include an optional spectrum view, arbitrary function generator, power measurement and analysis, and Serial Bus Decode, Triggering and Search. Bandwidth and options are all field upgradeable.
