Your Own Control Windows with
Only the Controls, Features and
Capabilities that You Care About

Easily create your own personalized
“toolbox” of oscilloscope features in a
matter of minutes using a simple, visual,
drag-and-drop process. Once created,
these custom-control windows are easily
accessed through a dedicated MyScope
button and menu selection on the oscillo­scope button/menu bar, just like any
other control window. You can make an
unlimited number of custom control
windows, enabling each person who
uses the oscilloscope in a shared environ­ment, to have their own unique control
window. Everything you need is found in
one control window rather than having to
constantly navigate through menu after
menu to repeat similar tasks.

The TAP2500 Active FET probe achieves
high-speed signal acquisition and measure­ment fidelity.

Maximize the probability of capturing
elusive glitches and other infrequent events
with FastAcq acquisition mode.

Accelerate the Debug of
Complex Electrical Designs

FastAcq Acquisition Mode
Expedites Debugging by Clearly
Showing Imperfections

More than just color-grading, FastAcq
enabled by Tektronix proprietary DPX
acquisition technology, captures signals at
more than 250,000 waveforms per second
on all four channels simultaneously,
dramatically increasing the probability of
discovering infrequent fault events. And
with a simple turn of the intensity knob
you can clearly see “a world others don’t
see,” because frequency of occurrence is
color coded. Some oscilloscope vendors
claim high waveform capture rates for
short bursts of time, but only DPO7000
Series Oscilloscopes, enabled by DPX
technology , can deliver these fast wave­form capture rates on a sustained basis –
saving minutes, hours or even days by
quickly revealing the nature of faults so
sophisticated trigger modes can be
applied to isolate them.

The Ability to Trigger an
Oscilloscope on Events of Interest
is Paramount in Complex Signal
Debug and Validation

Whether you’re trying to find a system
error or need to isolate a section of a
complex signal for further analysis,
Tektronix’ Pinpoint™ triggering provides
the solution. The Pinpoint trigger system
uses Silicon Germanium (SiGe) tech­nology to provide trigger sensitivity of up
to the bandwidth of the instrument, and
allows selection of all trigger types on
both A and B trigger circuits. It can
capture very narrow glitches with very little
trigger jitter. Other trigger systems offer
multiple trigger types only on a single
event (A event), with delayed trigger (B
event) selection limited to edge type trig­gering and often do not provide a way to
reset the trigger sequence if the B event
doesn’t occur. But Pinpoint triggering
provides the full suite of advance trigger
types on both A and B triggers with
Reset triggering to begin the trigger
sequence again after a specified time,
state or transition so that even events in
the most complex signals can be
captured. Other oscilloscopes typically

offer less than 20 trigger combinations;
Pinpoint triggering offers over 1400
combinations, all at full performance.
Now you can even use a probe and the
full functionality of the trigger system with
the Auxiliary trigger input.

Trigger on the Most Relevant
Bit Sequence of the Industry
Standard Serial Bus

I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) triggering is a

standard feature of the DPO7000 Series
Oscilloscopes, and includes Start condition,
Missing Acknowledge, Restart, Data Read,
Address and/or Data Frame, in a 10-Bit
or 7-Bit format.

SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) triggering

is a standard feature of the DPO7000
Series Oscilloscopes, and includes
triggering on a data pattern within a
user-definable frame.

CAN (Controller Area Network) triggering

is an optional feature (Opt. LSA), and
includes synchronization to the Start or
End of a CAN frame on any CAN high
or CAN low signal, triggering on Type of
Frame (Data, Remote, Error, Overload),
Identifier, Data, Missing Acknowledge
and Bit Stuffing error.

addition, IRE and mV graticules can be
selected for easier measurements and
