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/DPO5000 Series offers the industry’s most complete visualization
of signals, providing fast insight into the real operation of your device.

et of triggers, including triggers for specific serial packet content, ensures you
pture your event of interest.
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 begins with proper probing. The
MSO/DPO5000 Series includes four high-impedance 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 effect of the probe on your circuit’s operation, offering the
performa

The MSO/DPO5000 Series provides a complete set of triggers – including
itch, width, timeout, transition, pattern, state, setup/hold violation,
runt, gl
serial packet, and parallel data – to help quickly find your event. Enhanced
Triggering reduces trigger jitter at the trigger point. In this mode, the trigger
point can be used a s a measurement reference.
With up to a 250M 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.

tiView Zoom™ to quickly compare events in real time. FastFrame™
with Mul
Segmented Memory mode enables you to make efficient use of large
records by capturing many trigger events in a single record eliminating large
time gaps between events of interest. View and measure the segments
individually or as an overlay.
From triggering on specific packet content to automatic decode in multiple
data formats, the MSO/DPO5000 Series provides integrated support for a
broad range of serial buses – I

means you gain insight into system-level problems quickly.
Search – Results of an advanced search for a runt pulse within a long waveform record.
Each instance of the runt is automatically marked for easy reference. Wave Inspector
controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing and navigating waveform data.
To further help troubleshoot system-level interactions in complex embedded
systems, the M SO500 0 Series offers 16 digital channe ls 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™
high-speed acquisition enables you to acquire fine signal detail (up to
60.6 ps resolution) around the trigger point for precision measuremen ts.
MagniVu is essential for making accurate timing measurements for setup
and hold, clock delay, signal skew, and glitch characterization.
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 screen s of signal activity.
The MSO/DPO5000 Series offers the industry’s most comprehensive
search and waveform navigation with its innovative Wave Inspecto r
®
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
n that you may want to reference later for further investigation. Or,
locatio
automatically search your record for c riteria you define. Wave Inspector
will instantly search your entire record, including analog and digital data.
Along the way it will automatically mark every occurrence of your defined
event so you can quickly move between events. The advanced search and
mark capability of the MSO/DPO5000 Series can even search for up to eight
nt events simultaneously and stop a live acquisition when it finds an
differe
event of interest, sa ving even more time.

Digital Phosphor Technology

glitches, timing issues, and more.
Waveforms are superimposed with one a nother and waveform points are
color coded by frequency of occurrence. This quickly highlights the events
that occur more often over time or, in the case of infrequent anomalies,
occur less often.
With the MSO/DPO5000 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

Accurate High-speed Probing
The TPP Series probes, included standard with every MSO/DPO5000
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 affects on your circuits and is more forgiving of longer ground
leads. And with the probe’s wide bandwidth, you can see the high-frequency
componen
ts in your signal, which is critical for high-speed applications. The
TPP Series passive voltage probes offer all the benefits of ge neral-purpose
probes like high dynamic range, flexible connection options, and robust
mechanical design, while providing the performance of active probes.

MagniVu™ High-speed Acquisition
The main digital acquisition mode on the MSO5000 Series will capture up
to 40M points at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main record,
the MSO5000 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 can be
d between on the display at any time, running or stopped. MagniVu
switche
provides significantly finer timing resolution than comparable mixed-signal
oscilloscopes on the market, instilling confidence when making critical
timing measurements on digital waveforms.
