Welcome to the 5 Series MSO Help
The 5 Series MSO oscilloscopes (MSO54, MSO56, MSO58, and MSO58LP) provide FlexChannel
technology, enabling you to
efficiently and cost-effectively perform mixed signal debugging on virtually any design.
MSO54, MSO56, MSO58 Key features and benefits
Bandwidths from 350 MHz to 2 GHz
4-, 6-, and 8-channel models with FlexChannel
inputs
Each FlexChannel input is dual-purpose, letting you connect either an analog probe (TekVPI
®
or BNC) or an eight-channel
digital probe (the TLP058 FlexChannel Logic Probe)
Large 15.6” HD (1920 x 1080 pixel) capacitive touch-screen display
User interface optimized for touch screen use
Maximum 6.25 GS/s sample rate
62.5 M points record length on all channels (optional 125 M record length available)
500,000 waveforms/second maximum waveform capture rate
FastFrame
segmented memory acquisition uses multiple trigger events to capture widely spaced events of interest at high
sample rates while conserving acquisition memory
No set limit on the number of math, reference, and bus waveforms you can display
Integrated options include 50 MHz arbitrary/function generator (AFG), Digital Voltmeter (DVM), and a trigger frequency
counter
Automated compliance testing solutions add compliance measurement features
. See Compliance testing options on
page 12
Advanced serial bus triggering and analysis options let you decode and trigger on industry standard buses. See Serial bus
and trigger options on page 11
Measurement and analysis options provide additional measurement and analysis functions. See Advanced Power Analysis
(Option 5-PWR, SUP5-PWR, or 5-PS2) on page 13, Advanced Jitter Analysis (options 5-DJA, SUP5-DJA) on page 12
MSO58LP Key features and benefits
Low profile instrument with no display, comes ready to install in a 2U rack mount space
1 GHz bandwidth
8-channels with FlexChannel
inputs
Each FlexChannel input is dual-purpose, letting you connect either an analog probe (TekVPI
®
or BNC) or an eight-channel
digital probe (the TLP058 FlexChannel Logic Probe)
Maximum 6.25 GS/s sample rate
125 M points record length on all channels
500,000 waveforms/second maximum waveform capture rate
Actual number of waveforms depends on available system memory.
Compliance testing options require option 5-WIN (SSD with Microsoft Windows 10 operating system).
