Feature-rich tools for debugging mixed
signal designs
With Wave Inspector® controls for rapid waveform navigation, automated
serial and parallel bus analysis, and automated power analysis – your
Tektronix oscilloscope provides the feature-rich tools you need to simplify
and speed debug of your complex design.
Comprehensive features speed every stage
of debug
These oscilloscopes offer a robust set of features to speed every stage of
debugging your design – from quickly discovering an anomaly and
capturing it, to searching your waveform record for the event and analyzing
its characteristics and your device’s behavior.
Discover
To debug a design problem, first you must know it exists. Every design
engineer spends time looking for problems in their design, a time-
consuming and frustrating task without the right debug tools.
The industry’s most complete visualization of signals provides fast insight
into the real operation of your device. A fast waveform capture rate –
greater than 50,000 waveforms per second – enables you to see glitches
and other infrequent transients within seconds, revealing the true nature of
device faults. A digital phosphor display with intensity grading shows the
history of a signal’s activity by intensifying areas of the signal that occur
more frequently, providing a visual display of just how often anomalies
occur.
Discover ‒ Fast waveform capture rate - over 50,000 wfm/s - maximizes the probability
of capturing elusive glitches and other infrequent events.
Capture
Discovering a device fault is only the first step. Next, you must capture the
event of interest to identify root cause.
The MSO/DPO3000 Series provides a complete set of triggers – including
runt, logic, pulse width/glitch, setup/hold violation, serial packet, and
parallel data – to help quickly find your event. With up to a 5 Mpoint record
length, you can capture many events of interest, even thousands of serial
packets, in a single acquisition for further analysis while maintaining high
resolution to zoom in on fine signal details.
From triggering on specific packet content to automatic decode in multiple
data formats, the MSO/DPO3000 Series provides integrated support for the
industry’s broadest range of serial buses – I2C, SPI, MIL-STD-1553, CAN,
LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM. The ability to
decode up to two serial and/or parallel buses simultaneously means you
gain insight into system-level problems quickly.
To further help troubleshoot system-level interactions in complex
embedded systems, the oscilloscope offers 16 digital channels in addition
to its analog channels. Since the digital channels are fully integrated into
the oscilloscope, you can trigger across all input channels, automatically
time-correlating all analog, digital, and serial signals. The MagniVu™ high-
speed acquisition enables you to acquire fine signal detail around the
trigger point for precision measurements. MagniVu is essential for making
accurate timing measurements for setup and hold measurements, clock
delay, signal skew, and glitch characterization.
Capture ‒ Triggering on a specific transmit data packet going across an RS-232 bus. A
complete set of triggers, including triggers for specific serial packet content, ensures you
quickly capture your event of interest.
Search
Finding your event of interest in a long waveform record can be time
consuming without the right search tools. With today’s record lengths
pushing beyond a million data points, locating your event can mean
scrolling through thousands of screens of signal activity.

The innovative Wave Inspector® controls give you the industry’s most
comprehensive search and waveform navigation capability. These controls
speed panning and zooming through your record. With a unique force-
feedback system, you can move from one end of your record to the other in
just seconds. User marks allow you to mark any location that you may want
to reference later for further investigation. Or, automatically search your
record for criteria you define. Wave Inspector will instantly search your
entire record, including analog, digital, and serial bus data. Along the way it
will automatically mark every occurrence of your defined event so you can
quickly move between events.
Search ‒ I2C decode showing results from a Wave Inspector search for Address value
50. Wave Inspector controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing and navigating
waveform data.
Analyze
Verifying that your prototype’s performance matches simulations and meets
the project’s design goals requires analyzing its behavior. Tasks can range
from simple checks of rise times and pulse widths to sophisticated power
loss analysis and investigation of noise sources.
The oscilloscope offers a comprehensive set of integrated analysis tools
including waveform- and screen-based cursors, automated measurements,
advanced waveform math including arbitrary equation editing, FFT
analysis, and trend plots for visually determining how a measurement is
changing over time. Specialized application support for serial bus analysis,
power supply design, and video design and development is also available.
For extended analysis, National Instrument’s LabVIEW SignalExpress®
Tektronix Edition provides over 200 built-in functions including time and
frequency domain analysis, limit testing, data logging, and customizable
reports.
Analyze ‒ FFT analysis of a pulsed signal. A comprehensive set of integrated analysis
tools speeds verification of your design's performance.
Wave Inspector® navigation and search
With long record lengths, a single acquisition can include thousands of
screens of waveform data. Wave Inspector®, the industry’s best tool for
navigation and search, enables you to find events of interest in seconds.
Wave Inspector controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing, navigating, and
analyzing waveform data. Zip through your long record by turning the outer pan control
(1). Get details from the beginning to end in seconds. See something of interest and want
to see more details? Just turn the inner zoom control (2).
Zoom and pan
A dedicated, two-tier front-panel control provides intuitive control of both
zooming and panning. The inner control adjusts the zoom factor (or zoom
scale); turning it clockwise activates zoom and goes to progressively higher
zoom factors, while turning it counterclockwise results in lower zoom
factors and eventually turning zoom off. No longer do you need to navigate
through multiple menus to adjust your zoom view. The outer control pans
the zoom box across the waveform to quickly get to the portion of waveform
you are interested in. The outer control also utilizes force-feedback to
determine how fast to pan on the waveform. The farther you turn the outer
control, the faster the zoom box moves. Pan direction is changed by simply
turning the control the other way.

Play/Pause
A dedicated Play/Pause front-panel button scrolls the waveform across the
display automatically while you look for anomalies or an event of interest.
Playback speed and direction are controlled using the intuitive pan control.
Once again, turning the control further makes the waveform scroll faster
and changing direction is as simple as turning the control the other way.
User marks
Press the Set Mark front-panel button to place one or more marks on the
waveform. Navigating between marks is as simple as pressing the
Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons on the front panel.
Search marks
The Search button allows you to automatically search through your long
acquisition looking for user-defined events. All occurrences of the event are
highlighted with search marks and are easily navigated to, using the front-
panel Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons. Search types include edge,
pulse width/glitch, timeout, runt, logic, setup and hold, rise/fall time, parallel
bus, and I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-
STD-1553, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM packet content.
Search step 1: You define what you would like to find.
Search step 2: Wave Inspector automatically searches through the record and marks
each event with a hollow white triangle. You can then use the Previous and Next buttons
to jump from one event to the next.
Digital phosphor technology
Digital phosphor technology provides you with fast insight into the real
operation of your device. Its fast waveform capture rate – greater than
50,000 wfm/s – gives you a high probability of quickly seeing the infrequent
problems common in digital systems: runt pulses, glitches, timing issues,
and more.
Waveforms are superimposed with one another and waveform points that
occur more frequently are intensified. This quickly highlights the events that
over time occur more often or, in the case of infrequent anomalies, occur
less often.
You can choose infinite persistence or variable persistence, determining
how long the previous waveform acquisitions stay on-screen. This allows
you to determine how often an anomaly is occurring.
Digital phosphor technology enables greater than 50,000 wfms/s waveform capture rate
and real-time intensity grading.

Mixed signal design and analysis (MSO
series)
The MSO models provide 16 digital channels which are tightly integrated
into the oscilloscope's user interface. This simplifies operation and makes it
possible to solve mixed-signal issues easily.
The MSO Series provides 16 integrated digital channels enabling you to view and
analyze time-correlated analog and digital signals.
Color-coded digital waveform display
This oscilloscope has redefined the way you view digital waveforms. One
common problem shared by both logic analyzers and mixed-signal
oscilloscopes is determining if data is a one or a zero when zoomed in far
enough that the digital trace stays flat all the way across the display. Color-
coded digital traces display ones in green and zeros in blue.
The multiple transition detection hardware shows you a white edge on the
display when the system detects multiple transitions. White edges indicate
that more information is available by zooming in or acquiring at faster
sampling rates. In most cases zooming in will reveal the pulse that was not
viewable with the previous settings. If the white edge is still present after
zooming in as far as possible, this indicates that increasing the sample rate
on the next acquisition will reveal higher frequency information than the
previous settings could acquire.
White edges indicate additional information is available by zooming in. As shown here,
zooming in on the white edge reveals a hidden glitch.
You can group digital waveforms and enter waveform labels by using a
USB keyboard. By simply placing digital waveforms next to each other, they
form a group.
With color-coded digital waveform display, groups are created by simply placing digital
channels together on the screen, allowing digital channels to be moved as a group. You
can set threshold values for each channel, enabling support for up to 16 different logic
families.
Once a group is formed, you can position all the channels contained in that
group collectively. This greatly reduces the normal setup time associated
with positioning channels individually.

MagniVu™ high-speed acquisition
The main digital acquisition mode on the MSO3000 Series will capture up
to 5 Mpoints at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main record,
the MSO3000 provides an ultra high-resolution record called MagniVu
which acquires 10,000 points at up to 8.25 GS/s (121.2 ps resolution). Both
main and MagniVu waveforms are acquired on every trigger and can be
switched between in the display at any time, running or stopped. MagniVu
provides significantly finer timing resolution than comparable MSOs on the
market, instilling confidence when making critical timing measurements on
digital waveforms.
The MagniVu high-resolution record provides 121.2 ps timing resolution, enabling you to
take critical timing measurements on your digital waveforms.
P6316 MSO probe
This unique probe design offers two eight-channel pods, simplifying the
process of connecting to the device-under-test. When connecting to square
pins, the P6316 can connect directly to 8×2 square pin headers spaced on
tenth-inch centers. When more attachment flexibility is required, you can
use the included flying lead sets and grabbers to clip onto surface mount
devices or test points. The P6316 offers outstanding electrical
characteristics applying only 8 pF of capacitive loading with 101 kΩ input
impedance.
The P6316 MSO probe offers two eight-channel pods to simplify connecting to your
device.
Serial triggering and analysis (optional)
On a serial bus, a single signal often includes address, control, data, and
clock information. This can make isolating events of interest difficult.
Automatic trigger, decode, and search on bus events and conditions gives
you a robust set of tools for debugging serial buses.
Triggering on a specific data packet going across an I2C bus. The yellow waveform is
clock and the blue waveform is the data. A bus waveform provides decoded packet
content including Start, Address, Read/Write, Data, and Stop.
Serial triggering
Trigger on packet content such as start of packet, specific addresses,
specific data content, unique identifiers, etc. on popular serial interfaces
such as I2C, SPI, MIL-STD-1553, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/
UART, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM.
Bus display
Provides a higher-level, combined view of the individual signals (clock,
data, chip enable, etc.) that make up your bus, making it easy to identify
where packets begin and end and identifying sub-packet components such
as address, data, identifier, CRC, etc.
Bus decoding
Tired of having to visually inspect the waveform to count clocks, determine
if each bit is a 1 or a 0, combine bits into bytes, and determine the hex
value? Let the oscilloscope do it for you! Once you’ve set up a bus, the
MSO/DPO3000 Series will decode each packet on the bus, and display the
value in hex, binary, decimal (LIN, FlexRay, and MIL-STD-1553 only),
signed decimal (I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM only), or ASCII (MIL-STD-1553 and
RS-232/422/485/UART only) in the bus waveform.
Datasheet
6 www.tektronix.com
Event table
In addition to seeing decoded packet data on the bus waveform itself, you
can view all captured packets in a tabular view much like you would see in
a software listing. Packets are time stamped and listed consecutively with
columns for each component (Address, Data, etc.). You can save the event
table data in .csv format.
Event table showing decoded identifier, DLC, DATA, and CRC for every CAN packet in a
long acquisition.
Search (serial triggering)
Serial triggering is very useful for isolating the event of interest, but once
you’ve captured it and need to analyze the surrounding data, what do you
do? In the past, users had to manually scroll through the waveform
counting and converting bits and looking for what caused the event. You
can have the oscilloscope automatically search through the acquired data
for user-defined criteria including serial packet content. Each occurrence is
highlighted by a search mark. Rapid navigation between marks is as simple
as pressing the Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons on the front panel.
Power analysis (optional)
Ever increasing consumer demand for longer battery-life devices and for
green solutions that consume less power require power-supply designers to
characterize and minimize switching losses to improve efficiency. In
addition, the supply’s power levels, output purity, and harmonic feedback
into the power line must be characterized to comply with national and
regional power quality standards. Historically, making these and many
other power measurements on an oscilloscope has been a long, manual,
and tedious process. The optional power analysis tools greatly simplify
these tasks, enabling quick and accurate analysis of power quality,
switching loss, harmonics, safe operating area (SOA), modulation, ripple,
and slew rate (di/dt, dv/dt). Completely integrated into the oscilloscope, the
power analysis tools provide automated, repeatable power measurements
with a touch of a button; no external PC or complex software setup is
required.

accurate analysis of common power parameters.

Video design and development
Many video engineers have remained loyal to analog oscilloscopes,
believing the intensity gradations on an analog display are the only way to
see certain video waveform details. The fast waveform capture rate,
coupled with its intensity-graded view of the signal, provides the same
information-rich display as an analog oscilloscope, but with much more
detail and all the benefits of digital scopes.
Standard features such as IRE and mV graticules, holdoff by fields, video
polarity, and an Autoset smart enough to detect video signals, make these
the easiest to use oscilloscopes on the market for video applications. And
with high bandwidth, four analog inputs, and a built-in 75 Ω input
termination, the oscilloscope provides ample performance for analog and
digital video use.
The video functionality is further extended with the optional video
application module, which provides the industry's most complete suite of
HDTV and custom (nonstandard) video triggers.

Application modules
Application modules have licenses which can be transferred between an application module and an oscilloscope. The license may be contained in the module; allowing the
module to be moved from one instrument to another. Or, the license can be contained in the oscilloscope; allowing the module to be removed and stored for safekeeping.
Transferring the license to an oscilloscope and removing the module permits the use of more than 4 applications simultaneously.
