TektronixMSO2000andDPO2000Series Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes
Feature-Rich Tools for Debugging Mixed Signal Designs
The Power to Solve Problems Quickly - The MSO2000 and DPO2000 Series digital phosphor oscilloscopes (DPOs) deliver the performance and tools you
need to visualize your signals and find an swers quickly. The DPO2000 Series are the first oscilloscopes to provide 1 M points of usable record length on all
channels, serial trigger and decode analysis options, a variable low-pass filter that also allows you to see signal details to the oscilloscope’s full bandwidth and
all in a compact form factor. The MSO2000 Series adds 16 integrated digital channels, enabling you to visualize and time correlate analog and digital signals
on a single instrument. This integration extends triggering functionality across all 20 channels – which is ideal for debugging mixed analog and digital designs.
Digital phosphor technology enables 5,000 waveforms/second waveform capture and real-time intensity grading on the MSO2000 and DPO2000 Series
Designed to Make Your Work Easier
Wave Inspector® Navigation and Search
Imagine trying to efficiently use the Internet if search engines such as Google and Yahoo didn’t exist and Web browser features such as Favorites and Links
didn’t exist. Now you know how most modern oscilloscope users feel when trying to use the long record length in their digital oscilloscope. Record length, one
of the key specifications of an oscilloscope, is the number of samples it can digitize and store in a single acquisition. The longer the record length, the longer
the time window you can capture with high timing resolution (high sample rate).
The first digital oscilloscopes could capture and store only 500 points, which made it very difficult to acquire all relevant information around the event being
investigated. Over the years, oscilloscope vendors have provided longer and longer record lengths to meet market demands for long capture windows with
high resolution. These mega-point record lengths often represent thousands of screens worth of signal activity. While standard record lengths have increased
greatly over the years and can now satisfy the vast majority of applications in the marketplace, tools for effectively and efficiently viewing, navigating, and
analyzing long record length acquisitions have been sorely neglected until now.
The Tektronix MSO/DPO2 000 Series redefines expectations for working with long record lengths with the following innovative Wave Inspector controls:
Wave Inspector controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing, navigating, and analyzing waveform data. Zip through your 1 M point r ecord 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).
Zoom/Pan – A d edicated, two-tier front-panel control provides intuitive control of both zooming and pa nning. The inner control adjusts the zoom factor
(or zoom scale); turning it clockwise activates zoom and goes to progre ssively higher zoom facto rs, while turning it counterclockwise results in lower
zoom factors and eventually turning zoom off. The outer control pans the zoom box across the waveform to quickly get to the portion of the 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. No longer do you need to navigate through multiple
menus to adjust your zoom view.
Play/Pause – A dedicated play/pause button on the front panel scrolls the waveform across the display automatically while you look for anomalies or an event
of interest. Playback speed an
d 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 – See something interesting on your waveform? Press the Set Mark button on the front panel to leave one or more “bookmarks” on the waveform.
Navigating between marks is as simple as pressing the Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons on the front panel.
Search Marks – Don’t want to take the time to inspect the entire acquisition manually to find the event you’re looking for? The MSO/DPO2000 Series features
a robust automatic waveform search feature that allows you to search through your long acquisition based on user-defined criteria. All occurrence s 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

Search step 1: You define what you would like to find
C, SPI, RS-232/422/485/UART, CAN, and LIN packet content.
Search step 2: MSO/DPO2000 automatica
Search step 3: Use previous and next buttons to jump from one event to the next
1. Zoom/Pan – Dedicated front-pa nel controls for zooming and pa nning. Get from the start to the end of your 1 M record in seconds. The inne
lly searches through the record and marks each event with a hollow white triangle
r control
adjusts the zoom factor while the outer ring adjust pans the zoom box across the waveform. Navigating your waveform has never been easier.
2. Marks – Want to mark yo ur waveform for future reference or for quick navigation between events of interest? Simply press the Set Mark b utton to place
“bookmarks” on your waveform. Use the next and previous buttons to navigate through user marks a nd search generated marks.
3. Search – Tired of turning the horizontal position control en dlessly on your current scope to find the event you’re looking for? Use the MSO/DPO2000’s
powerful Search feature to automatically find and mark all occurrences of an event based on user spe cified criteria. Search types include edge, pulse

4. 2 or 4 Analog Channels and 16 Dig ital Channels – View and trigger on up to 20 time-correlated signals on the same display.
(16 Digital Channe ls on MSO models only.)
5. Parallel and Serial Buses – Trigger on parallel or serial packet level content, view acquired data as a bus with all data de co ded into hex, binary, or ASCII,
search through acquisitions for specific content and even view all decoded data in a tabular format, much like you would see on a logic analyzer.

Standards supported include I
C, SPI, CAN, LIN, and RS-232/422/485/UART. Analyze up to two buses at the same time.
(Parallel is available on MSO models only.)
6. Dedicated Vertical Controls – Vertical controls provide simple and intuitive operation. No longer do you need to share one set of vertical controls
across all four channels.

7. Large Widescreen, digital phosphor disp lay – The MSO/DPO20 00 Series boasts a bright, 7 inch (180 mm), widescreen display. Discover and
troubleshoot design problems faster with 5,000 waveforms/second continuous waveform capture rate and real-time intensity grading. Continuous high
waveform capture rate saves time by quickly revealing the nature of faults so advanced triggers can be applied to isolate them.
Real-time intensity grading exposes the “history” of a signal’s activity as they accumulate. The digital phosphor display makes its easier to understand the
cteristics of the transients you have captured. It intensifies the areas where the signal trace occurs more frequently.

8. FilterVu™ Variable Low-Pass Filter – Tired of dealing with unwanted noise on your signal? Ever wished your oscilloscope had bandwidth limiters below
20 MHz? Simply turn on FilterVu and adjust the variable low-pass noise filter. Unlike other variable low pass filters, FilterVu filters out the unwanted
noise from your signal while still capturing glitches and o ther signal details up to the full bandwidth of the oscilloscope. FilterVu is ideal for repetitive,
single-shot, and nonrepetitive events.
9. Serial Trigger and Dec ode Application Module – MSO/DPO2000 Series have 2 slots for application modules. Application specific modules extend how
you use your oscilloscope by adding serial bus triggering and decode.

Serial Triggering and Analysis
One of the most common applications requiring long record length is serial data analysis in embedded system design. Embedded systems are virtually
everywhere. They can contain many different types of devices including microprocessors, microcontrollers, DSPs, RAM, EEPROMs, FPGAs, ADCs, DACs,
and I/O. These various devices have traditionally communicated with each other and the outside world using wide parallel buses. Today, however, more
