Remotely view and control the oscilloscope over a network connection through a standard web browser used as a single analog channel, eight digital logic inputs (with the TLP058 logic probe), or simultaneous analog and spectrum views with independent acquisition controls for each domain. Imagine the flexibility and configurability this provides. You can change the configuration at any time by simply adding or removing TLP058 logic probes, so you always have the right number of digital channels. With the lowest input noise and up to 10 GHz analog bandwidth, the 6 Series MSO provides the best...

Figure 3: Channel 2 has a TLP058 Logic Probe connected to the eight inputs of a DAC. Notice the green and blue color coding, where ones are green and zeros are blue. Another TLP058 Logic Probe on Channel 3 is probing the SPI bus driving the DAC. The white edges indicate higher frequency information is available by either zooming in or moving to a faster sweep speed on the next acquisition.

Figure 4: Beyond just analog and digital, FlexChannel inputs include Spectrum View. This Tektronix-patented technology enables you to simultaneously view both analog and spectral views of all your analog signals, with independent controls in each domain. For the first time ever, oscilloscope-based frequency-domain analysis is as easy as using a spectrum analyzer while retaining the ability to correlate frequency-domain activity with other time-domain phenomena.

Unprecedented signal viewing capability The stunning 15.6" (396 mm) display in the 6 Series MSO is the largest display in the industry. It is also the highest resolution display, with full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080), enabling you to see many signals at once with ample room for critical readouts and analysis. The viewing area is optimized to ensure that the maximum vertical space is available for waveforms. The Results Bar on the right can be hidden, enabling the waveform view to use the full width of the display. Figure 5: Stacked display mode enables easy visibility of all waveforms...

Figure 6: Viewing three analog channels, eight digital channels, a decoded serial bus waveform, decoded serial packet results table, four measurements, a measurement histogram, measurements results table with statistics and a search on serial bus events - simultaneously! Exceptionally easy-to-use user interface lets you focus on the task at hand The Settings Bar - key parameters and waveform management Waveform and scope operating parameters are displayed in a series of “badges” in the Settings Bar that runs along the bottom of the display. The Settings Bar provides Immediate access for the...

Touch interaction finally done right Scopes have included touch screens for years, but the touch interface has been an afterthought. The 6 Series MSO's 15.6" display includes a capacitive touchscreen and provides the industry's first oscilloscope user interface truly designed for touch. The touch interactions that you use with phones and tablets, and expect in a touch enabled device, are supported in the 6 Series MSO. • • • • Drag waveforms left/right or up/down to adjust horizontal and vertical position or to pan a zoomed view Pinch and expand to change scale or zoom in/out in either...

Variable font size Historically, oscilloscope user interfaces have been designed with fixed font sizes to optimize viewing of waveforms and readouts. This implementation is fine if all users have the same viewing preferences, but they don't. Users spend a significant amount of time staring at screens, and Tektronix recognizes this. The 6 Series MSO offers a user preference for variable font sizes; scaling down to 12 points or up to 20 points. As you adjust the font size, the user interface dynamically scales so you can easily choose the best size for your application. Figure 9: Comparison...

Setup, Auto-set and Quick-save functions are all available using dedicated front panel buttons. Windows or not - you choose The 6 Series MSO offers you the choice of whether to include a Microsoft Windows™ operating system. The 6 Series MSO comes with a standard removable SSD that contains a closed embedded operating system that will boot as a dedicated scope with no ability to run or install other programs. An optional SSD with Windows 10 operating system is available that will boot to an open Windows 10 configuration, so you can minimize the oscilloscope application and access a Windows...

Figure 11: FastAcq's high waveform capture rate enables you to discover infrequent problems common in digital design. Industry leading vertical resolution and low noise The 6 Series MSO provides the performance to capture the signals of interest while minimizing the effects of unwanted noise when you need to capture high-amplitude signals while seeing smaller signal details. At the heart of the 6 Series MSO are 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that provide 16 times the vertical resolution of traditional 8-bit ADCs. Figure 12: The 6 Series MSO's 12-bit ADC, along with the new High...

Table 1: 50 Ω, RMS voltage, typical Bandwidth Triggering Discovering a device fault is only the first step. Next, you must capture the event of interest to identify root cause. The 6 Series MSO provides a complete set of advanced triggers, including: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Runt Logic Pulse width Window Timeout Rise/Fall time Setup and Hold violation Serial packet Parallel data Sequence Video Visual Trigger RF Frequency vs. Time RF Magnitude vs. Time With up to a 1 Gpoint record length, you can capture many events of interest, even thousands of serial packets in a single acquisition,...
