To debug a design problem, first you must know it exists. Every

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

Triggering reduces trigger jitter at the trigger point. In this m ode, the trigger

Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes — MSO5000, DPO5000 Series

Finding the right characteristic of a complex signal can require hours of
collecting and sorting through thousands of acquisitions for the event of
interest. Defin
only when the event occurs speeds up this process. The optional Visual
Trigger makes the identification of the desired waveform events quick and
easy by scanning through all waveform acquisitions and comp aring them to
on-screen areas (geometric shapes).

With up to a 250M po int 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.
Investigate m
with MultiView Zoom™ to quickly compare events in real time. FastFrame™
Segmented Memory mode enables you to make efficient use of large
records by capturing many trigger events in a single record e liminating large
time gaps between events of interest. View and measure the segments
individually or as an overlay.

From triggering on specific p acket content to automatic decode in
multiple data formats, the MSO/DPO5000 Series provides integrated
support for a
RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-STD-1553, and USB 2.0. The ability to decode
up to 16 serial and/or parallel buses simultaneously means you gain insight
into system-level problems quickly.

To further help troubleshoot system-level interactions in complex embedded
systems, the M SO5000 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

Wave Inspector controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing, navigating, and
analyzing waveform data. Zip through your long record 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).

Wave Inspector®Navigation and Advanced
Search and Mark

A 12.5M point standard record length represents thousands of screens of
information. The MSO/DPO5000 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 activates zoom and goes to progressively higher
zoom factors, while turning it counterclockwise results in lower zoom factors
and eventually turns zoom off. No longer do you need to navigate through
multiple menus to adjust your zoom view. The oute r control pans the zoom
box across the w aveform to quickly get to the portion you are interested
in. The oute r 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.

the MSO

Limit and Mask Testing (Optional)

The optional limit test (Option LT) and mask test (Option MTM) software
packages are useful for long-term signal monitoring, characterizing s

mask test software includes a robust set of masks for telecommunications
and computer standards for easily checking compliance to a standard.
Additionally, custom masks can be created and used for characterizin
signals. With both software packages you can tailor a 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 along with statistical information, and setting actions upon
violations, test failure, and test complete. Whether specifying a limit
template or a mask, conducting pass/fail tests in search of wavefor
anomalies such as glitches has never been easier.
