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).
