Feature-rich tools for debugging mixed

signal designs

serial and parallel bus analysis, and automated power analysis – your

Tektronix oscilloscope provides the feature-rich tools you need to simplify

and speed debug of your complex design.

Comprehensive features speed every stage

of debug

These oscilloscopes offer a robust set of features to speed every stage of

debugging your design – from quickly discovering an anomaly and

capturing it, to searching your waveform record for the event and analyzing

its characteristics and your device’s behavior.

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 industry’s most complete visualization of signals provides fast insight

into the real operation of your device. A fast waveform capture rate –

greater than 50,000 waveforms per second – enables you to see glitches

and other infrequent transients within seconds, revealing the true nature of

device faults. A digital phosphor display with intensity grading shows the

history of a signal’s activity by intensifying areas of the signal that occur

more frequently, providing a visual display of just how often anomalies

occur.

Discover ‒ Fast waveform capture rate - over 50,000 wfm/s - maximizes the probability

of capturing elusive glitches and other infrequent events.

Capture

Discovering a device fault is only the first step. Next, you must capture the

event of interest to identify root cause.

The MSO/DPO3000 Series provides a complete set of triggers – including

runt, logic, pulse width/glitch, setup/hold violation, serial packet, and

parallel data – to help quickly find your event. With up to a 5 Mpoint 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.

From triggering on specific packet content to automatic decode in multiple

data formats, the MSO/DPO3000 Series provides integrated support for the

decode up to two 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 oscilloscope 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

speed acquisition enables you to acquire fine signal detail around the

trigger point for precision measurements. MagniVu is essential for making

accurate timing measurements for setup and hold measurements, clock

delay, signal skew, and glitch characterization.

Capture ‒ Triggering on a specific transmit data packet going across an RS-232 bus. A

complete set of triggers, including triggers for specific serial packet content, ensures you

quickly capture your event of interest.

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.
