See the performance difference
With up to 2 GHz analog bandwidth and sampling rates up to 10 GS/s, the
MSO/DPO5000B series ensures you have the performance you need to
capture waveforms with the best possible signal fidelity and resolution for
seeing small waveform details.
Probing - Up to 1 GHz bandwidth and less than 4 pF capacitive loading provides active
probe performance and superior performance over passive probes included with other
mid-range oscilloscopes.
Performance - With up to 2 GHz bandwidth and 10 GS/s sample rate capture
USB2.0 480 Mb/s differential signals with true fidelity and 100 ps resolution.
Accurate high-speed probing
The TPP Series probes, included standard with every MSO/DPO5000B
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 effects on your circuits and is more forgiving of longer
ground leads. And with the probe's wide 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.
Fast discovery
To debug a design problem, first you must know it exists. Every design
engineer spends time looking for problems in their design, a timeconsuming and difficult task without the right debug tools. The MSO/
DPO5000B Series offers the industry's most complete performance to
capture and isolate events, providing fast insight into the real operation of
your device. Tektronix proprietary FastAcq™ technology delivers a fast
waveform capture - greater than 250,000 waveforms per second - that
enables you to see glitches and other infrequent transients within seconds,
revealing the true nature of device faults. A digital phosphor display with
color intensity grading shows the history of a signal's activity by using color
to identify areas of the signal that occur more frequently, providing a visual
display of just how often anomalies occur across all channels.
2 www.tektronix.com
Discover – fast waveform capture rate - over 250,000 wfm/s - maximizes the probability
of capturing elusive glitches and other infrequent events.
High vertical resolution
If the measurement requirement is to capture high-amplitude signals while
seeing smaller signal details the MSO/DPO5000B provides the acquisition
flexibility needed to capture the signals of interest while removing the
effects of unwanted noise. With HiRes acquisition vertical resolution can be
increased to over 11 bits while reducing signal noise. Signal fidelity can be
further increased by using channel input filters or applying a wide choice of
DSP filters.
Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes - MSO5000B, DPO5000B Series
Capture - 100 Meg point acquisition with HiRes acquisition - increase vertical resolution
to >11 bits with dual zoom of waveform details.
Segmented memory
Capture - HiRes acquisition - increased vertical resolution to >11 bits while removing
noise on a 650 V Pk-Pk signal while seeing the smaller details of less than 1 V Pk-Pk
with or without apply low-pass filtering.
Long record length
With up to a 250 M 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.
For complex analysis like Time Interval Error (TIE) measurements the
longer record length ensures you have enough data captured for handling
clock recovery and creating jitter profiles. Unlike other oscilloscopes in its
class, the MSO/DPO5000B provides flexible setup of both record length
and sampling rate to ensure optimum resolution.
For more efficient data capture, partitioning of memory can extend the total
time captured. FastFrame™ Segmented Memory mode enables you to
select up to 290,000 memory segments with a trigger capture rate of over
310,000 triggers per second. Beyond memory flexibility, segments are time
stamped and can be viewed individually or as an overlay and analyzed
using advanced features like protocol decoding.

Datasheet
Mixed signal design and analysis (MSO
Series)
The MSO5000B Series mixed-signal oscilloscopes provide 16 digital
channels. These channels are tightly integrated into the oscilloscope's user
interface, simplifying operation and making it possible to solve mixed-signal
issues easily. MSO functionality can also be added later as a user upgrade.
Color-coded digital waveform display
The MSO5000B Series has redefined the way you view digital waveforms.
One common problem with other 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. To avoid this problem, the
MSO5000B Series has color-coded digital traces, displaying ones in green
and zeros in blue.
FastFrame™ - User selectable memory segments allow for efficient memory
management with time stamped capture of SPI bus data along with analysis of serial bus
decoding on multiple data packets. Frames 1, 2, and 9 are shown here.
With the color-coded digital waveform display, low values are shown in blue and high
values are shown in green, enabling instant understanding of the bus value whether
transitions are visible or not.
The multiple transition detection hardware of the MSO5000B Series will
show you when the system detects more than one transition. This indicates
that more information is available by zooming in or acquiring at faster
sampling rates. In most cases zooming in will reveal a glitch that was not
viewable with the previous settings.
MagniVu™ high-speed acquisition
The main digital acquisition mode on the MSO5000B Series will capture up
to 40 M points at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main record,
the MSO5000B 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
the main and MagniVu waveforms are acquired on every trigger and either
can be displayed at any time, running or stopped. MagniVu provides
significantly finer timing resolution than comparable mixed-signal
oscilloscopes on the market, instilling confidence when making critical
timing measurements on digital waveforms.

Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes - MSO5000B, DPO5000B Series
The MagniVu high-resolution record provides 60.6 ps timing resolution, enabling you to
make critical timing measurements on your digital waveforms.
Versatile trigger and search
Discovering a device fault is only the first step. Next, you must capture the
event of interest to identify root cause The MSO/DPO5000B Series
provides a complete set of triggers - including runt, glitch, width, timeout,
transition, pattern, state, setup/hold violation, serial packet, and parallel
data - to help quickly find your event.
Visual trigger
Finding the right characteristic of a complex signal can require hours of
collecting and sorting through thousands of acquisitions for the event of
interest. Defining a trigger that isolates the desired event and shows data
only when the event occurs speeds up this process. Visual Trigger and
Search makes the identification of the desired waveform events quick and
easy by scanning through all waveform acquisitions and comparing them to
on-screen areas (geometric shapes). Areas can be created using a variety
of shapes including triangles, rectangles, hexagons, trapezoids, and userspecified shapes to fit the area to the particular trigger behavior desired.
Set up to eight areas and condition based on Boolean logic conditions.
Visual Trigger- Capture signals on two channels with Visual triggering with multiple
defined areas and markers showing repeat occurrences.
Navigation and 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 MSO/DPO5000B Series offers the industry's most comprehensive
search and waveform navigation with its innovative Wave Inspector
®
controls. 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 bus data.
Along the way it will automatically mark every occurrence of your defined
event so you can quickly move between events. The standard Advanced
Search and Mark capability of the MSO/DPO5000B Series can even search
for up to eight different events simultaneously and stop a live acquisition
when it finds an event of interest, saving even more time.

Search - Results of an advanced search for a runt pulse or a narrow glitch within a long
waveform record.
Comprehensive analysis
The standard limit test package enables long-term signal monitoring,
characterizing signals during design, and production line testing. Limit test
compares a tested signal to a known good or "golden" version of the same
signal with user-defined vertical and horizontal tolerances. You can tailor a
limit test to your specific requirements by defining test duration in a number
of waveforms, setting a violation threshold that must be met before
considering a test a failure, counting hits with statistical information, and
setting actions upon violations, test failure, and test complete.
Custom analysis
When signal analysis needs extend beyond the standard or optional
analysis features, the Windows 7 based MSO/DPO5000B series has the
flexibility to support custom analysis. Apply your custom algorithms using
custom MATLAB and .NET math plug-ins for analysis functions that are
integrated in the oscilloscope user interface for more seamless operation.
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, characterization of system clocks, and investigation of noise
sources. The MSO/DPO5000B Series offers a comprehensive set of
integrated analysis tools including waveform- and screen-based cursors,
53 automated measurements, advanced waveform math including arbitrary
equation editing, waveform histograms, and FFT analysis.
Custom analysis - Waterfall display generated from oscilloscope data using MATLAB.
Jitter analysis
Every MSO/DPO5000B Series oscilloscope includes the DPOJET
Essentials jitter and eye pattern analysis software package, extending the
oscilloscope's measurement capabilities to take measurements over
contiguous clock and data cycles in a single-shot real-time acquisition. This
enables measurement of key jitter and timing analysis parameters such as
Time Interval Error and Phase Noise to help characterize possible system
timing issues. Analysis tools such as plots for time trends and histograms
quickly show how timing parameters change over time, and spectrum
analysis quickly shows the precise frequency and amplitude of jitter and
modulation sources.
Analyze - Waveform histogram of the rising and falling edge of a 622 Mb/s signal
showing the distribution of edge position (jitter) over time. Included are numeric
measurements made on the waveform histogram data.

analyzers with the wide bandwidth acquisition of Tektronix digital
oscilloscopes, you can now evaluate complex baseband signals directly on
your oscilloscope. You get the functionality of a vector signal analyzer, a
spectrum analyzer, and the powerful trigger capabilities of a digital
oscilloscope - all in a single package. Whether your design validation needs
include wideband radar, high data-rate satellite links, or frequency hopping
communications, SignalVu™ vector signal analysis software can speed
your time-to-insight by showing you time-variant behavior of these
wideband signals.
Power analysis (optional)
The optional power analysis software package (Option PWR) enables quick
and accurate analysis of power quality, switching loss, harmonics, magnetic
measurements, safe operating area (SOA), modulation, ripple, and slew
rate (di/dt, dv/dt). Automated, repeatable power measurements are
available with a touch of a button; no external PC or complex software
setup is required. The package includes a report generation tool to create
customizable, detailed reports to document your measurement results.

Protocol 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. The
MSO/DPO5000B Series offers a robust set of tools for debugging serial
buses with automatic trigger and decode on I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, FlexRay,
RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-STD-1553, Ethernet, and USB 2.0, and
decode for HSIC, 8b/10b, PCI Express, and MIPI D-PHY DSI-1 and
CSI-2 serial buses.
Event table display
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.).

content including Start, Sync, PID, Address, End Point, CRC, Data values, 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, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, MILSTD-1553, Ethernet, and USB 2.0.
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 subpacket 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/DPO5000B Series will decode each packet on the bus, and display
the value in hex, binary, decimal (USB only) or ASCII (USB and
RS-232/422/485/UART only) in the bus waveform.
