Video design and development

Many video engineers have remained loyal to analog oscilloscopes,

believing the intensity gradations on an analog display are the only way to

see certain video waveform details. The fast waveform capture rate,

coupled with its intensity-graded view of the signal, provides the same

information-rich display as an analog oscilloscope, but with much more

detail and all the benefits of digital scopes.

Standard features such as IRE and mV graticules, holdoff by fields, video

polarity, and an Autoset smart enough to detect video signals, make these

the easiest to use oscilloscopes on the market for video applications. And

with high bandwidth and four analog inputs, the oscilloscope provides

ample performance for analog and digital video use.

The video functionality is further extended with an optional video application

module, which provides the industry's most complete suite of HDTV and

custom (nonstandard) video triggers.

Designed to make your work easier

The MSO/DPO4000B Series is designed to make your work easier. The large, high-

resolution display shows intricate signal details. Dedicated front-panel controls simplify

operation. Two USB host ports on the front panel allow you to easily transfer screen

shots, instrument settings, and waveform data to a USB mass storage device.

Large, high-resolution display

The MSO/DPO4000B Series features a 10.4 in. (264 mm) bright, LED

backlit XGA color display for seeing intricate signal details.

Dedicated front-panel controls

Per-channel vertical controls provide simple and intuitive operation. No

longer do you need to share one set of vertical controls across all four

channels.

Connectivity

Two USB host ports on the front panel enable easy transfer of screenshots,

instrument settings, and waveform data to a USB mass storage device. The

rear panel contains two additional USB host ports and a USB device port

for controlling the oscilloscope remotely from a PC or for connecting a USB

keyboard. The USB device port can also be used to print directly to a

port enables easy connection to networks and a Video Out port allows the

oscilloscope display to be exported to an external monitor or projector. The

instrument can mount external network drives for easy storage of screen

images, setup files, or data files. Setup or data files can then be directly

recalled and loaded into the oscilloscope from the network drive location.

The MSO/DPO4000B Series is LXI Class-C compliant.

Compact form factor

With the compact, portable form factor, you can easily move the

oscilloscope between labs. And with a depth of just 5.8 inches (147 mm), it

saves you valuable space on your test bench.

The MSO/DPO4000B Series compact form factor frees up valuable space on your bench

or desktop.

The TekVPI probe interface sets the standard for ease of use in probing. In

addition to the secure, reliable connection that the interface provides,

TekVPI probes feature status indicators and controls, as well as a probe

menu button right on the comp box itself. This button brings up a probe

menu on the oscilloscope display with all relevant settings and controls for

the probe. The TekVPI interface enables direct attachment of current

probes without requiring a separate power supply. TekVPI probes can be

controlled remotely through USB, GPIB, or LAN, enabling more versatile

solutions in ATE environments.
