TEKTRONIX SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
THE PROGRAM, OR PROGRAMS, ENCODED OR INCORPORATED WITHIN EQUIPMENT OR ACCOMPANYING THIS
AGREEMENT, IS FURNISHED SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. RETENTION OF THE
PROGRAM FOR MORE THAN THIRTY DAYS OR USE OF THE PROGRAM IN ANY MANNER WILL BE CONSIDERED
ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGREEMENT TERMS. IF THESE TERMS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE, THE UNUSED PROGRAM AND
ANY ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION SHOULD BE RETURNED PROMPTLY TO TEKTRONIX FOR A FULL REFUND
OF THE LICENSE FEE PAID. (FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE RETURN OF PROGRAMS ENCODED OR
INCORPORATED WITHIN EQUIPMENT, CONTACT THE NEAREST TEKTRONIX SALES OFFICE.)
DEFINITIONS.
"Tektronix" means Tektronix, Inc., an Oregon corporation, or local Tektronix legal entity that is supplying the equipment.
"Program" means the Tektronix software product (executable program and/or data) enclosed with this Agreement or included
within the equipment with which this Agreement is packed.
"Customer" means the person or organization in whose name the Program was ordered.
LICENSE.
Customer may:
1. Use the Program on a single machine at any one time; and
2. Copy the Program for archival or backup purposes, provided that no more than one (1) such copy is permitted to exist at any
one time.
Each copy of the Program made by Customer must include a reproduction of any copyright notice or restrictive rights legend
appearing in or on the copy of the Program as received from Tektronix.
Customer may not:
1. Use the Program on more than one machine at any one time;
2. Transfer the Program to any person or organization outside of Customer or the corporation of which Customer is a part without
the prior written consent of Tektronix, except in connection with the transfer of the equipment within which the programs are
encoded or incorporated;
3. Export or re-export, directly or indirectly, the program, any associated documentation, or the direct product thereof, to any
country to which such export or re-export is restricted by law or regulation of the United States or any foreign government having
jurisdiction without the prior authorization, if required, of the Office of Export Administration, Department of Commerce,
Washington, D.C. and the corresponding agency of such foreign government;
4. Modify the Program, create derivative works, or merge the Program with another program;
5. Copy the documentation accompanying the Program; or
6. Decompile, decrypt, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, techniques, processes, algorithms, know-
how, or other information (collectively "Reverse Engineer") from the Program or permit or induce any third party to do so. If
however, any directly applicable law prohibits enforcement of the foregoing, Customer may engage in Reverse Engineering
solely to obtain information necessary to achieve interoperability of independently created software with the Program, or as
otherwise and to the limited extent permitted by directly applicable law, but only if Reverse Engineering is strictly necessary to
obtain such information. If the Program contains any technology from a third-party that explicitly permits Reverse Engineering in
its license, Customer may Reverse Engineer such third-party technology only to the limited extent permitted by that third-party
license.
Title to the Program and all copies thereof, but not the media on which the Program or copies may reside, shall be and remain
with Tektronix or others for whom Tektronix has obtained a respective licensing right.
Customer shall pay when due all property taxes that may now or hereafter be imposed, levied or assessed with respect to the
possession or use of the Program or this license and shall file all reports required in connection with such taxes.
If the Program or any related documentation is acquired by or for an agency of the U.S. Government, the Program and
documentation shall be considered "commercial computer software" or "commercial computer software documentation"
respectively, as those terms are used in 48 CFR Sec. 12.212, 48 CFR Sec. 227.7202, or 48 CFR Sec. 252.227-7014, and are
licensed with only those rights as are granted to all other licensees as set forth in this Agreement.
THE PROGRAM MAY NOT BE USED, COPIED, MODIFIED, MERGED, OR TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY PERMITTED BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
UPON TRANSFER OF ANY COPY, MODIFICATION, OR MERGED PORTION OF THE PROGRAM, THE LICENSE GRANTED
HEREIN IS AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATED WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTY THAT TRANSFERS THE PROGRAM.
TERM.
The license granted herein is effective upon acceptance by Customer, and shall remain in effect until terminated as provided
herein. The license may be terminated by Customer at any time upon written notice to Tektronix. The license may be terminated
by Tektronix or any third party from whom Tektronix may have obtained a respective licensing right if Customer fails to comply
with any term or condition and such failure is not remedied within thirty (30) days after notice hereof from Tektronix or such third
party. Upon termination by either party, Customer shall return to Tektronix or destroy, the Program and all associated
documentation, together with all copies in any form.
LIMITED WARRANTY.
The Program is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied. Tektronix does not warrant that the
functions contained in the Program will meet Customer's requirements or that the operation of the Program will be uninterrupted
or error-free.
TEKTRONIX AND ITS VENDORS DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, IN NO EVENT SHALL TEKTRONIX, ITS RESELLERS, OR OTHERS FROM WHOM TEKTRONIX
HAS OBTAINED A LICENSING RIGHT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH CUSTOMER'S POSSESSION OR USE OF THE PROGRAM, EVEN IF
TEKTRONIX OR SUCH OTHERS HAS ADVANCE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
THIRD-PARTY DISCLAIMER.
Except as expressly agreed otherwise, third parties from whom Tektronix may have obtained a licensing right do not warrant the
program, do not assume any liability with respect to its use, and do not undertake to furnish any support or information relating
thereto.
GENERAL.
This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the use, reproduction, and transfer of the
Program. Neither this Agreement nor the license granted herein is assignable or transferable by Customer without the prior
written consent of Tektronix.
This Agreement and the license granted herein shall be governed by the laws of the state of Oregon.
All questions regarding this Agreement or the license granted herein should be directed to the nearest Tektronix Sales Office.

This oscilloscope provides 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

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 (the number of waveforms depends on
available system memory)
Integrated options include a 50 MHz arbitrary/function generator (AFG), and a Digital Voltmeter (DVM) and trigger frequency
counter
Automated compliance testing solutions add compliance measurement features.
See the Compliance Testing options Help
topic
