Key features
Welcome to the 5 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope. The 5 Series MSO Oscilloscopes (MSO54, MSO56, and MSO58) are 4-, 6-,
and 8-channel oscilloscopes with the world's first FlexChannel
™
-based inputs, enabling you to efficiently and cost-effectively
perform mixed signal debugging on virtually any design.
■
Bandwidths from 350 MHz to 2 GHz
■
4-, 6-, and 8-channel models with FlexChannel inputs
■
Each FlexChannel input supports one analog channel or eight digital channels, in any combination
■
FlexChannel inputs are compatible with TekVPI
®
probes
■
Large 15.6” HD (1920 x 1080 pixel) capacitive touch-screen display
■
User interface designed to optimize touch screen use and quickly access key settings
■
Stacked mode places each channel or waveform in its own horizontal 'slice' on the screen, allowing for cleaner signal
viewing and measuring
■
Maximum 6.25 GS/s sample rate
■
62.5 M points record length on all channels (optional 125 M record length available)
■
500,000 waveforms/second maximum waveform capture rate
■
No set limit on the number of math, reference, and bus waveforms you can display
