Tektronix 6 Series B MSO Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Datasheet

Confidence in numbers Input channels • 4, 6, or 8 FlexChannel® inputs • Each FlexChannel provides: • One analog signal that can be displayed as a waveform view, a spectral view, or both simultaneously • Eight digital logic inputs with TLP058 logic probe Bandwidth (all analog channels) • 1 GHz, 2.5 GHz, 4 GHz, 6 GHz, 8 GHz, 10 GHz (upgradable) Sample rate (all analog / digital channels) • Real-time: 50 GS/s (2 channels), 25 GS/s (4 channels), 12.5 GS/s (> 4 channels) • Interpolated: 2.5 TS/s Record length (all analog / digital channels) • 62.5 Mpoints standard • 125, 250, 500 Mpoints, or 1...

USB Host (7 ports), USB 3.0 Device (1 port), LAN (10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet), Display Port, DVI-I, VGA Remotely view and control the oscilloscope over a network connection through a standard web browser FlexChannel® technology enables maximum flexibility and broader system visibility The 6 Series MSO redefines what a Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) should be. FlexChannel technology enables each channel input to be 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...

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.

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...

Stacked display mode enables easy visibility of all waveforms while maintaining maximum ADC resolution on each input for the most accurate measurements. The 6 Series MSO offers a revolutionary new Stacked display mode. Historically, scopes have overlaid all waveforms in the same graticule, forcing difficult tradeoffs: • To make each waveform visible, you vertically scale and position each waveform so that they don't overlap. Each waveform uses a small percentage of the available ADC range, leading to less accurate measurements. For measurement accuracy, you vertically scale and position...

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...

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...

Sample rate 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. A new High Res mode applies a hardware-based unique Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter based on the selected sample rate. The FIR filter maintains the maximum 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 • Pulse width • Rise/Fall time • Setup and Hold violation • Serial packet • Parallel data • Visual Trigger With up to a 1 Gpoint record length, you can capture many events of interest, even thousands of serial packets in a single acquisition, providing high-resolution to zoom in on fine signal details and record reliable measurements. Visual trigger - Finding the signal of interest...

acquisitions. In seconds or minutes, you can find the critical events and complete your debug and analysis efforts. Visual Trigger even works across multiple channels, extending its usefulness to complex system troubleshooting and debug tasks. Convenient high speed passive voltage probing The TPP Series passive voltage probes included with every 6 Series MSO offer all the benefits of general-purpose probes - high dynamic range, flexible connection options, and robust mechanical design while providing the performance of active probes. Up to 1 GHz analog bandwidth enables you to see high...
