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.
Accurately capturing any signal of interest begins with proper probing. Low-
capacitance probes are included with the oscilloscope, one for each analog
channel. These industry-first high-impedance passive voltage probes have
less than 4 pF of capacitive loading to minimize the affect of the probe on
your circuit's operation, offering the performance of an active probe with the
flexibility of a passive probe.
A complete set of triggers - including runt, timeout, logic, pulse width/glitch,
setup/hold violation, serial packet, and parallel data - help you quickly find
your event. With up to a 20M point 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 oscilloscope provides integrated support for the industry's
broadest range of serial buses - I2C, SPI, USB, Ethernet, CAN, LIN,
FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-STD-1553, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM. The
ability to decode up to four 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 on these channels enables you to acquire fine signal detail (up
to 60.6 ps resolution) around the trigger point for precision timing
measurements. MagniVu is essential for making accurate timing
measurements for setup and hold, 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 – Waveform histogram of a falling edge showing the distribution of edge position
(jitter) over time. Included are numeric measurements made on the waveform histogram

oscilloscope platform, the MDO4000 Series offers a built-in spectrum
analyzer (up to 6 GHz). This combination offers you the ability to capture
time-correlated analog, digital, and RF signals in a single instrument. For
more information on the MDO4000 Series, please visit www.tektronix.com/
mdo4000.
Wave Inspector® navigation and search
With up to 20M 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).

www.tektronix.com 3
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, USB, Ethernet, 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.

Accurate high-speed probing
The TPP Series probes, included standard with every MSO/DPO4000B
Series oscilloscope, provide up to 1 GHz of analog bandwidth, and less
than 4 pF of capacitive loading. The extremely low capacitive loading
minimizes adverse affects on your circuits and is more forgiving of longer
ground leads. And, since the probe bandwidth matches or exceeds your
oscilloscope bandwidth, you can see the high-frequency components in
your signal which is critical for high-speed applications. The TPP Series
passive voltage probes offer all the benefits of general-purpose probes like
high dynamic range, flexible connection options, and robust mechanical
design, while providing the performance of active probes. In addition, a low-
attenuation, 2X version of the TPP probes is available for measuring low
voltages. Unlike other low-attenuation passive probes, the TPP0502 has
high bandwidth (500 MHz) as well as low capacitive loading (12.7 pF).
Mixed signal design and analysis (MSO
series)
The MSO models provide 16 digital channels that 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 MSO4000B Series will capture up
to 20M points at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main record,
the oscilloscope provides an ultra high-resolution record called MagniVu
which acquires 10,000 points at up to 16.5 GS/s (60.6 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 60.6 ps timing resolution, enabling you to
make critical timing measurements on your digital waveforms.
P6616 MSO probe
This unique probe design offers two eight-channel pods. Each channel ends
with a probe tip featuring a recessed ground for simplified connection to the
device under test. The coax on the first channel of each pod is colored blue
making it easy to identify. The common ground uses an automotive-style
connector making it easy to create custom grounds for connecting to the
device under test. When connecting to square pins, the P6616 has an
adapter that attaches to the probe head extending the probe ground flush
with the probe tip so you can attach to a header. The P6616 offers
outstanding electrical characteristics, having only 3 pF of capacitive loading,
a 100 kΩ input resistance, and is capable of acquiring toggle rates
>500 MHz and pulses as short as 1 ns in duration.
The P6616 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.

waveform is the D+ and the blue waveform is the D-. A bus waveform provides decoded
packet content including Start, Sync, PID, Address, End Point, CRC, Data values, and
Stop.
Datasheet

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, USB, Ethernet, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/
UART, MIL-STD-1553, 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/
DPO4000B Series will decode each packet on the bus, and display the
value in hex, binary, decimal (USB, Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553, LIN, and
FlexRay only), signed decimal (I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM only), or ASCII (USB,
Ethernet, and RS-232/422/485/UART only) in the bus waveform.
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.

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.
Safe operating area measurement. Automated power measurements enable quick and
accurate analysis of common power parameters.

Limit/Mask testing
A common task during the development process is characterizing the
behavior of certain signals in a system. One method, called limit testing, is
to compare a tested signal to a known good or "golden" version of the same
signal with user-defined vertical and horizontal tolerances. Another common
method, called mask testing, is to compare a tested signal to a mask,
looking for where a signal under test violates the mask. The MSO/
DPO4000B Series offers both limit and mask testing capability useful for
long-term signal monitoring, characterizing signals during design, or testing
on a production line. A robust set of telecommunications and computer
standards are provided to test for compliance to a standard. Additionally,
custom masks can be created and used for characterizing signals. Tailor a
test to your specific requirements by defining test duration in number of
waveforms or time, a violation threshold that must be met before
considering a test a failure, counting hits along with statistical information,
and actions upon violations, test failure, and test complete. Whether
specifying a mask from a known good signal or from a custom or standard
mask, conducting pass/fail tests in search of waveform anomalies such as
glitches has never been easier.

signal. Results showing statistical information about the test are displayed.
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 and four analog inputs, the oscilloscope provides
ample performance for analog and digital video use.
The video functionality is further extended with an optional video application
module, which provides the industry's most complete suite of HDTV and
custom (nonstandard) video triggers.

addition to the secure, reliable connection that the interface provides,
TekVPI probes feature status indicators and controls, as well as a probe
menu button right on the comp box itself. This button brings up a probe
menu on the oscilloscope display with all relevant settings and controls for
the probe. The TekVPI interface enables direct attachment of current
probes without requiring a separate power supply. TekVPI probes can be
controlled remotely through USB, GPIB, or LAN, enabling more versatile
solutions in ATE environments.
