of Debug
The MSO/DPO4000B Series offers a robust set of features to speed every
stage of debugging your design – from quickly d iscovering 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 M SO/DPO40 00B Series offers the industry’s most comp lete
visualization of signals, providing 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

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 b egins with proper probing. The
MSO/DPO4000B Series includes four low-capacitance probes for accurate
signal capture. 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 flexib
ility of a passive probe.
The MSO/DPO4000B Series provides a complete set of triggers – including
meout, logic, pulse width/glitch, setup/hold violation, serial packet,
runt, ti
and parallel data – to help 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 p acket content to au tomatic decode in
multiple data formats, the MSO/DPO4000B Series provides integrated
support for the industry’s broadest range of serial buses – I

simultaneously means you gain insight into system-level problems quickly.
To further help troubleshoot system-level interactions in complex embedded
systems, the MSO4000B Series 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™
peed acquisition enables you to acquire fine signal detail (up to
high-s
60.6 ps resolution) around the trigger point for precision measurements.
MagniVu is essential for making accurate timing measurements for setup
and hold, clock delay, signal skew, and glitch characterization.

The MSO/DPO4000B 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 control of both
zooming and panning. The inner control adjusts the zoom factor (or zoom
scale); turning it clockwise activat es zoom and goes to progressively higher

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
the zoom box moves. Pan direction is changed by simply turning the

event with a hollow white triangle. You can then use the Previous and Next buttons to
jump from one event to the next.
