Source: Tektronix Inc.“The 4 Series B MSO was engineered to enable designers to analyze their systems faster to combat time-to-market pressure,” said Daryl Ellis, general manager for the mainstream Tektronix portfolio. “The user interface, designed for touch, is intuitive, informative and now more responsive. With the 4 Series B MSO, our customers will be able to tackle 99% of their mixed-signal design challenges and actually enjoy doing it.”
Now there’s a promise you don’t hear every day.
According to a press release, the 4 Series B MSO is available with up to six input channels, making it well suited for three-phase power analysis, and its exclusive Spectrum View provides multichannel spectrum analysis in sync with time domain waveforms. Along with accelerating front-panel operation, the upgraded processor system also speeds up remote operation: It can be remotely accessed and controlled using a simple web browser, dedicated TekScope PC software or custom program via a full programming interface. The 4 Series B enhances time to answer on over 25 serial decode packages for inter-chip, automotive, power, aerospace buses and others. Additionally, it speeds up algorithms and plotting used in existing analysis packages for power supply measurements, motor drive analysis and double pulse testing.
“This instrument provides accuracy and analysis capabilities that make it ideal for challenges faced every day by design engineers, such as signal chain debugging, power analysis, protocol analysis and noise analysis, to name a few,” said Jeffrey Miller, 4 Series product planner. “What sets the 4 Series B MSO apart from the rest is the premier user experience and faster analysis capabilities.”
That “premier user experience” is supported by a 13.3 inch, 1920 x 1080 HD display that uses optical bonding for a greater screen contrast and viewing angle. Along with its 12-bit analog-to-digital converters and high sampling rate, the 4 Series B shows in-depth signal detail.
