Comprehensive Features Speed Every Stage
of Debug

The MSO/DPO3000 Series offers a robust set of features to speed every
stage of debugging your design – from quickly discovering an anomaly and
capturing it, to se arching 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 MSO/DPO3000 Series o ffers the industry’s most complete visualization
of signals, providing fast insight into the real operation of yo ur device. A
fast waveform capture rate - greater than 50,000 waveforms per second ­enables you to see glitches and other infrequent transients within seconds,

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 findyourevent.Withuptoa5Mpointrecordlength,

pushing beyond a million data points, locating your event can mean scrolling
through thousands of screens of signal activity.

location that you may want to reference later for further investigation. Or,
automatically search your record for criteria you define. Wave Inspector

Data Sheet

Wave Inspector controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing, navigating, and
analyzing waveform data. Zip through your 5 Mpoint record by turning the outer pan
control (1). Get from the beginning to end in seconds. See something of interest and want
to see more details? Just turn the inner zoom control (2).

Wave Inspector®Navigation and Search

A 5 Mpoint record length represents thousands of screens of information.
The MSO/DPO3000 Series enables you to find your event in seconds with
Wave Inspector, the industry’s best tool for navigation and search.

Wave Inspector offers the following innovative controls:

Zoom/Pan

A dedicated, two-tier front-panel control provides intuitive c ontrol of both
zooming and panning. The inner control adjusts the zoom factor (or zoo m
scale); turning it clockwise activates zoom and goes to progressively higher
zoom factors, while turning it counterclockwise results in lowe r zoom factors
and eventually turning zoo m 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 oute r 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 int erest.

ack speed and direction are controlled using the intuitive pan control.

Playb
Once again, turning the control further makes the waveform scroll faster and
changing direction is as simple as turning the control the other way.

Search step

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.

1: You define what you would like to find.

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 ()andNext () buttons on the front panel.

Search Marks

The Search button allows you to automatically search through your lon g
acquisition looking for user-defined events. All occurrences of the event
are highlighted with search marks and are easily navigated to, using the

Digital phosphor technology enables greater than 50,000 wfm/s waveform capture rate
and real-time intensity grading on the MSO/DPO3000 Series.

Digital Phosphor Technology

The MSO/DPO3000 Series’ 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 probabil

ity of quickly
seeing the infrequent problems commo n 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 mo re often or, in the case of infrequent anomalies,
occur less often.

With the MSO/DPO3000 Series, 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.

Mixed Signal Design and Analysis

The MSO3000 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes provide 16 digital

Data Sheet

White edges indicate additional information is available by zooming in. As shown here,
zooming in on the white edge reveals a hidden glitch.

The P6316 MSO probe offers two eight-channel pods to simplify connecting to your
device.

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.

The MagniVu high-resolution record provides 121.2 ps timing resolution, enabling you to
make critical timing measurements on your digital waveforms.

The multiple transition detection hardware of the MSO3000 Series will
show 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 zoomi

ng 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.

The MSO3000 Series simplifies channel setup by allowing you to group

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. With
the MSO/DPO3000 Series, you can have the oscilloscope automatically

ix Edition

A fully interactive measurement software
environment optimized for the MSO/DPO3000
Series, enables you to instantly acquire,
generate, analyze, compare, import, and save
measurement data and signals using an intuitive
drag-and-drop user interface that does not require
any programming.
Standard MSO/DPO3000 Series support for
acquiring, controlling, viewing, and exporting
your live signal data is permanently available
through the software. The full version (SIGEXPTE)
adds additional signal processing, advanced
analysis, mixed signal, sweeping, limit testing, and
user-defined step capabilities and is available for a
30-day trial period standard with each instrument.

OpenChoice

®

Enables fast and easy communication between
a W indows PC and the MSO/DPO3000
Series. Transfer and save settings, waveforms,
measurements, and screen images. Included
Word and Excel toolbars automate the transfer
of acquisition data and screen images from
the oscilloscope into Word and Excel for quick
reporting or further analysis.

IVI Driver Provides a standard instrument programming

interface for common applications such as
LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft .NET, and
MATLAB.

eScope Enables control of the MSO/DPO3000 Series over

a network connection through a standard web
browser. Simply enter the IP address or network
name of the oscilloscope and a web page will be
