Introducing the Mixed Domain Oscilloscope

The MDO4000B Series is the world's first oscilloscope with a built in

spectrum analyzer. This integration enables you to continue to use your

debug tool of choice, the oscilloscope, to investigate frequency domain

issues rather than having to find and re-learn a spectrum analyzer.

However, the power of the MDO4000B Series goes well beyond simply

observing the frequency domain as you would on a spectrum analyzer. The

real power is in its ability to correlate events in the frequency domain with

the time domain phenomena that caused them.

When both the spectrum analyzer and any analog or digital channels are

on, the oscilloscope display is split into two views. The upper half of the

display is a traditional oscilloscope view of the Time Domain. The lower half

of the display is a Frequency Domain view of the spectrum analyzer input.

Note that the Frequency Domain view is not simply an FFT of the analog or

digital channels in the instrument, but is the spectrum acquired from the

spectrum analyzer input.

Datasheet

2 www.tektronix.com

Another key difference is that with traditional oscilloscope FFTs, you can

typically either get the desired view of the FFT display, or the desired view

of your other time domain signals of interest, but never both at the same

time. This is because traditional oscilloscopes only have a single

acquisition system with a single set of user settings such as record length,

sample rate, and time per division that drive all data views. But with the

MDO4000B Series, the spectrum analyzer has its own acquisition system

that is independent, but time correlated, to the analog and digital channel

acquisition systems. This allows each domain to be configured optimally,

providing a complete time correlated system view of all analog, digital, and

RF signals of interest.

The spectrum shown in the Frequency Domain view is taken from the

period of time indicated by the short orange bar in the time domain view –

known as the Spectrum Time. With the MDO4000B Series, Spectrum Time

can be moved through the acquisition to investigate how the RF spectrum

changes over time. And this can be done while the oscilloscope is live and

running or on a stopped acquisition.

The upper half of the MDO4000B Series display shows the Time Domain view of the

analog and digital channels, while the lower half shows the Frequency Domain view of

the spectrum analyzer channel. The orange bar - Spectrum Time - shows the period of

time used to calculate the RF spectrum.

Figures 1 through 4 show a simple everyday application – tuning of a PLL.

This application illustrates the powerful connection between the time

domain and the frequency domain that the MDO4000B Series provides.

With its wide capture bandwidth and ability to move Spectrum Time

throughout the acquisition, this single capture includes the same spectral

content as approximately 1,500 unique test setups and acquisitions on a

traditional spectrum analyzer. For the first time ever, correlating events,

observing interactions, or measuring timing latencies between the two

domains is exceptionally easy, giving you quick insight to your design’s

operation.

Figure 1 - Time and Frequency Domain view showing the turn-on of a PLL. Channel

1 (yellow) is probing a control signal that enables the VCO. Channel 2 (cyan) is probing

the VCO tune voltage. The SPI bus which is programming the PLL with the desired

frequency is probed with three digital channels and automatically decoded. Notice

Spectrum Time is placed after the VCO was enabled and coincident with the command

on the SPI bus telling the PLL the desired frequency of 2.400 GHz. Note that the RF is at

2.5564 GHz when the circuit turns on.

Figure 2 - Spectrum Time is moved about 90 μs to the right. At this point, the spectrum

shows that the PLL is in the process of tuning to the correct frequency (2.400 GHz). It

has made it down to 2.4924 GHz.

Figure 3 - Spectrum Time is moved another 160 μs to the right. At this point the spectrum

shows that the PLL has actually overshot the correct frequency and gone all the way

down to 2.3888 GHz.

Figure 4 - The PLL eventually settles on the correct 2.400 GHz frequency about 320 μs

after the VCO was enabled.

Built on the award-winning MSO4000B Series

of Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes

The MDO4000B Series provides you with the same comprehensive set of

features available in the MSO4000B Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Series.

This robust set of tools will help you speed through 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 340,000 waveforms per second with FastAcq™ – enables you

to see glitches and other infrequent transients within seconds, revealing the

true nature of device faults. A digital phosphor display with color- and

intensity-grading shows the history of a signal’s activity by using color or

intensity in areas of the signal that occur more frequently, providing a visual

display of just how often anomalies occur.

Discover ‒ Digital phosphor technology with FastAcq enables greater than

340,000 wfms/s waveform capture rate and real-time color-intensity grading.

Capture

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

event of interest to identify root cause.

Accurately capturing any signal of interest begins with proper probing. Low-

capacitance probes are included with the oscilloscope, one for each analog

channel. These industry-first high-impedance passive voltage probes have

3.9 pF of capacitive loading to minimize the effect of the probe on your

circuit's operation, offering the performance of an active probe with the

flexibility of a passive probe.

Datasheet

4 www.tektronix.com

A complete set of triggers - including runt, timeout, logic, pulse width/glitch,

setup/hold violation, serial packet, and parallel data - help you quickly find

your event. With up to a 20M point 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 oscilloscope provides integrated support for the industry's

broadest range of serial buses - I2C, SPI, USB, Ethernet, CAN, LIN,

FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-STD-1553, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM. The

ability to decode up to four 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

time correlating all analog, digital, serial, and RF signals. The MagniVu™

high-speed acquisition on these channels enables you to acquire fine signal

detail (up to 60.6 ps resolution) around the trigger point for precision timing

measurements. MagniVu is essential for making accurate timing

measurements for setup and hold, clock delay, signal skew, and glitch

characterization.

Capture ‒ Triggering on a specific transmit data packet going across a SPI bus. A

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

quickly capture your event of interest.

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.

The innovative Wave Inspector® controls give you the industry’s most

comprehensive search and waveform navigation capability. These controls

speed panning and zooming through your record. With a unique force-

feedback system, you can move from one end of your record to the other in

just seconds. User marks allow you to mark any location that you may want

to reference later for further investigation. Or, automatically search your

record for criteria you define. Wave Inspector will instantly search your

entire record, including analog, digital, serial-bus, and RF-versus-time data.

Along the way it will automatically mark every occurrence of your defined

event so you can quickly move between events.

Search ‒ RS-232 decode showing results from a Wave Inspector search for data value

"n". Wave Inspector controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing and navigating

waveform data.

Analyze

Verifying that your prototype’s performance matches simulations and meets

the project’s design goals requires analyzing its behavior. Tasks can range

from simple checks of rise times and pulse widths to sophisticated power

loss analysis and investigation of noise sources.

The MDO4000B Series offers a comprehensive set of integrated analysis

tools including waveform- and screen-based cursors, automated

measurements, advanced waveform math including arbitrary equation

editing, spectral math, FFT analysis, and trend plots for visually determining

how a measurement is changing over time. Specialized application support

for serial bus analysis, power supply design, and video design and

development is also available.

Analyze – Waveform histogram of a falling edge showing the distribution of edge position

(jitter) over time. Included are numeric measurements made on the waveform histogram

data. A comprehensive set of integrated analysis tools speeds verification of your

design's performance.

Digital phosphor technology with FastAcq™

Digital phosphor technology with FastAcq provides you with fast insight into

the real operation of your device. Its fast waveform capture rate – greater

than 340,000 wfms/s – gives you a high probability of quickly seeing the

infrequent problems common in digital systems: runt pulses, glitches, timing

issues, and more.

To further enhance the visibility of rarely occurring events, intensity grading

is used to indicate how often rare transients are occurring relative to normal

signal characteristics. There are four waveform palettes available in

FastAcq acquisition mode.

The Temperature palette uses color-grading to indicate frequency of

occurrence with hot colors like red/yellow indicating frequently

occurring events and colder colors like blue/green indicating rarely

occurring events.

The Spectral palette uses color-grading to indicate frequency of

occurrence with colder colors like blue indicating frequently occurring

events and hot colors like red indicating rarely occurring events.

The Normal palette uses the default channel color (like yellow for

channel one) along with gray-scale to indicate frequency of occurrence

where frequently occurring events are bright.

The Inverted palette uses the default channel color along with gray-

scale to indicate frequency of occurrence where rarely occurring events

are bright.

These color palettes quickly highlight the events that over time occur more

often or, in the case of infrequent anomalies, occur less often.

Infinite or variable persistence choices determine how long waveforms stay

on the display, helping you to determine how often an anomaly is occurring.

Digital phosphor technology enables a greater than 340,000 wfm/s waveform capture

rate and real-time intensity grading.

Accurate high-speed probing

The TPP Series probes, included standard with every MDO4000B Series

oscilloscope, provide up to 1 GHz of analog bandwidth, and 3.9 pF of

capacitive loading. The extremely low capacitive loading minimizes adverse

effects on your circuits and is more forgiving of longer ground leads. And,

since the probe bandwidth matches or exceeds your oscilloscope

bandwidth, you can see the high-frequency components in your signal

which is critical for high-speed applications. The TPP Series passive

voltage probes offer all the benefits of general-purpose probes like high

dynamic range, flexible connection options, and robust mechanical design,

while providing the performance of active probes. In addition, a low-

attenuation, 2X version of the TPP probes is available for measuring low

voltages. Unlike other low-attenuation passive probes, the TPP0502 has

high bandwidth (500 MHz) as well as low capacitive loading (12.7 pF).

Mixed signal design and analysis

The MDO4000B provides 16 digital channels which are tightly integrated

into the oscilloscope's user interface. This simplifies operation and makes it

possible to solve mixed-signal issues easily.

Datasheet

6 www.tektronix.com

The MDO4000B Series provides 16 integrated digital channels enabling you to view and

analyze time-correlated analog and digital signals.

Color-coded digital waveform display

This oscilloscope has redefined the way you view digital waveforms. One

common problem shared by both logic analyzers and mixed-signal

oscilloscopes is determining if data is a one or a zero when zoomed in far

enough that the digital trace stays flat all the way across the display. Color-

coded digital traces display ones in green and zeros in blue.

The multiple transition detection hardware shows you a white edge on the

display when the system detects multiple transitions. White edges indicate

that more information is available by zooming in or acquiring at faster

sampling rates. In most cases zooming in will reveal the pulse that was not

viewable with the previous settings. If the white edge is still present after

zooming in as far as possible, this indicates that increasing the sample rate

on the next acquisition will reveal higher frequency information than the

previous settings could acquire.

You can group digital waveforms and enter waveform labels by using a

USB keyboard. By simply placing digital waveforms next to each other, they

form a group.

With color-coded digital waveform display, groups are created by simply placing digital

channels together on the screen, allowing digital channels to be moved as a group. You

can set threshold values for each channel, enabling support for up to 16 different logic

families.

Once a group is formed, you can position all the channels contained in that

group collectively. This greatly reduces the normal setup time associated

with positioning channels individually.

MagniVu® high-speed acquisition

The main digital acquisition mode on the MSO4000B Series will capture up

to 20M points at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main record,

the oscilloscope provides an ultra high-resolution record called MagniVu

which acquires 10,000 points at up to 16.5 GS/s (60.6 ps resolution). Both

main and MagniVu waveforms are acquired on every trigger and can be

switched between in the display at any time, running or stopped. MagniVu

provides significantly finer timing resolution than comparable MSOs on the

market, instilling confidence when making critical timing measurements on

digital waveforms.

The MagniVu high-resolution record provides 60.6 ps timing resolution, enabling you to

make critical timing measurements on your digital waveforms.

P6616 MSO probe

This unique probe design offers two eight-channel pods. Each channel

ends with a probe tip featuring a recessed ground for simplified connection

to the device under test. The coax on the first channel of each pod is

colored blue making it easy to identify. The common ground uses an

automotive-style connector making it easy to create custom grounds for

connecting to the device under test. When connecting to square pins, the

P6616 has an adapter that attaches to the probe head extending the probe

ground flush with the probe tip so you can attach to a header. The P6616

offers outstanding electrical characteristics, having only 3 pF of capacitive

loading, a 100 kΩ input resistance, and is capable of acquiring toggle rates

>500 MHz and pulses as short as 1 ns in duration.

The P6616 MSO probe offers two eight-channel pods to simplify connecting to your

device.

Visualizing changes in your RF signal

The time domain graticule on the MDO4000B Series display provides

support for three RF time domain traces that are derived from the

underlying I and Q data of the spectrum analyzer input including:

Amplitude - The instantaneous amplitude of the spectrum analyzer

input vs. time

Frequency - The instantaneous frequency of the spectrum analyzer

input, relative to the center frequency vs. time

Phase - The instantaneous phase of the spectrum analyzer input,

relative to the center frequency vs. time

Each of these traces may be turned on and off independently, and all three

may be displayed simultaneously. RF time domain traces make it easy to

understand what's happening with a time-varying RF signal.

The orange waveform in the Time Domain view is the frequency vs. time trace derived

from the spectrum analyzer input signal. Notice that Spectrum Time is positioned during

a transition from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, so the energy is spread

across a number of frequencies. With the frequency vs. time trace, you can easily see

the different frequency hops, simplifying characterization of how the device switches

between frequencies.

Datasheet

Advanced triggering with analog, digital and

spectrum analyzer channels

In order to deal with the time-varying nature of modern RF applications, the

MDO4000B Series provides a triggered acquisition system that is fully

integrated with the analog, digital and spectrum analyzer channels. This

means that a single trigger event coordinates acquisition across all

channels, allowing you to capture a spectrum at the precise point in time

where an interesting time domain event is occurring. A comprehensive set

of time domain triggers are available, including Edge, Sequence, Pulse

Width, Timeout, Runt, Logic, Setup/Hold Violation, Rise/Fall Time, Video,

and a variety of parallel and serial bus packet triggers. In addition, you can

trigger on the power level of the spectrum analyzer input. For example, you

can trigger on your RF transmitter turning on or off.

The optional MDO4TRIG application module provides advanced RF

triggering. This module enables the RF power level on the spectrum

analyzer to be used as a source for Sequence, Pulse Width, Timeout, Runt,

and Logic trigger types. For example, you can trigger on a RF pulse of a

specific length or use the spectrum analyzer channel as an input to a logic

trigger, enabling the oscilloscope to trigger only when the RF is on while

other signals are active.

Fast and accurate spectral analysis

When using the spectrum analyzer input by itself, the MDO4000B Series

display becomes a full-screen Frequency Domain view.

Key spectral parameters such as Center Frequency, Span, Reference

Level, and Resolution Bandwidth are all adjusted quickly and easily using

the dedicated front-panel menus and keypad.

Key spectral parameters are adjusted quickly with the dedicated front-panel menus and

keypad.

Intelligent, efficient markers

In a traditional spectrum analyzer, it can be a very tedious task to turn on

and place enough markers to identify all your peaks of interest. The

MDO4000B Series makes this process far more efficient by automatically

placing markers on peaks that indicate both the frequency and the

amplitude of each peak. You can adjust the criteria that the oscilloscope

uses to automatically find the peaks.

The highest amplitude peak is referred to as the reference marker and is

shown in red. Marker readouts can be switched between Absolute and

Delta readouts. When Delta is selected, marker readouts show each peak's

delta frequency and delta amplitude from the reference marker.

Two manual markers are also available for measuring non-peak portions of

the spectrum. When enabled, the reference marker is attached to one of

the manual markers, enabling delta measurements from anywhere in the

spectrum. In addition to frequency and amplitude, manual marker readouts

also include noise density and phase noise readouts depending on whether

Absolute or Delta readouts are selected. A "Reference Marker to Center"

function instantly moves the frequency indicated by the reference marker to

center frequency.

Mixed Domain Oscilloscopes — MDO4000B Series

www.tektronix.com 9

Automated peak markers identify critical information at a glance. As shown here, the five

highest amplitude peaks that meet the threshold and excursion criteria are automatically

marked along with the peak's frequency and amplitude.

Spectrogram

The MDO4000B Series includes a spectrogram display which is ideal for

monitoring slowly changing RF phenomena. The x-axis represents

frequency, just like a typical spectrum display. However, the y-axis

represents time, and color is used to indicate amplitude.

Spectrogram slices are generated by taking each spectrum and "flipping it

up on its edge" so that it's one pixel row tall, and then assigning colors to

each pixel based on the amplitude at that frequency. Cold colors (blue,

green) are low amplitude and hotter colors (yellow, red) are higher

amplitude. Each new acquisition adds another slice at the bottom of the

spectrogram and the history moves up one row. When acquisitions are

stopped, you can scroll back through the spectrogram to look at any

individual spectrum slice.

Spectrogram display illustrates slowly moving RF phenomena. As shown here, a signal

that has multiple peaks is being monitored. As the peaks change in both frequency and

amplitude over time, the changes are easily seen in the Spectrogram display.

Triggered versus Free Run operation

When both the time and frequency domains are displayed, the spectrum

shown is always triggered by the system trigger event and is time

correlated with the active time-domain traces. However, when only the

frequency domain is displayed, the spectrum analyzer can be set to Free

Run. This is useful when the frequency domain data is continuous and

unrelated to events occurring in the time domain.

Ultra-wide capture bandwidth

Today's wireless communications vary significantly with time, using

sophisticated digital modulation schemes and, often, transmission

techniques that involve bursting the output. These modulation schemes can

have very wide bandwidth as well. Traditional swept or stepped spectrum

analyzers are ill equipped to view these types of signals as they are only

able to look at a small portion of the spectrum at any one time.

The amount of spectrum acquired in one acquisition is called the capture

bandwidth. Traditional spectrum analyzers sweep or step the capture

bandwidth through the desired span to build the requested image. As a

result, while the spectrum analyzer is acquiring one portion of the spectrum,

the event you care about may be happening in another portion of the

spectrum. Most spectrum analyzers on the market today have 10 MHz

capture bandwidths, sometimes with expensive options to extend that to

20, 40, or even 160 MHz in some cases.

In order to address the bandwidth requirements of modern RF, the

MDO4000B Series provides ≥1 GHz of capture bandwidth. At span settings

of 1 GHz and below, there is no requirement to sweep the display. The

spectrum is generated from a single acquisition, thus guaranteeing you'll

see the events you're looking for in the frequency domain.

900 MHz and out of the device through Bluetooth at 2.4 GHz, captured with a single

Spectrum traces

The MDO4000B Series spectrum analyzer offers four different traces or

views including Normal, Average, Max Hold, and Min Hold. You can set the

detection method used for each trace type independently or you can leave

the oscilloscope in the default Auto mode that sets the detection type

optimally for the current configuration. Detection types include +Peak, -

Peak, Average, and Sample.

Normal, Average, Max Hold, and Min Hold spectrum traces

RF measurements

The MDO4000B Series includes three automated RF measurements -

Channel Power, Adjacent Channel Power Ratio, and Occupied Bandwidth.

When one of these RF measurements is activated, the oscilloscope

automatically turns on the Average spectrum trace and sets the detection

method to Average for optimal measurement results.

Automated Channel Power measurement

EMI Troubleshooting

EMC testing is expensive regardless of whether you purchase the

equipment to perform in-house testing or you pay an external test facility to

certify your product. And that assumes that your product passes the first

time. Multiple visits to a test house can add significant cost and delay to

your project. The key to minimizing this expense is early identification and

debug of EMI issues. Traditionally, spectrum analyzers with near field

probe sets have been used to identify the location and amplitude of

offending frequencies, but their ability to determine the cause of the issue is

very limited. Designers are increasingly using oscilloscopes and logic

analyzers as EMI issues become more transient due to the complex

interactions of numerous digital circuits in modern designs.

The MDO4000B, with its integrated oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and

spectrum analyzer is the ultimate tool for debugging modern EMI issues.

Many EMI problems are caused from events rooted in the time domain,

such as clocks, power supplies, and serial data links. With its ability to

provide time correlated views of analog, digital, and RF signals, the

MDO4000B is the only instrument available that can discover the

connection between time-domain events and offending spectral emissions.

Series becomes the industry's widest bandwidth Vector Signal Analyzer

with up to 1 GHz capture bandwidth. Whether your design validation needs

include Wireless LAN, wideband radar, high data rate satellite links, or

frequency-hopping communications, SignalVu-PC vector signal analysis

software can speed your time-to-insight by showing you the time-variant

behavior of these wideband signals. Available analysis options include Wi-

Fi (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/j/n/p/ac) signal quality analysis, Bluetooth Tx

compliance, pulse analysis, audio measurements, AM/FM/PM modulation

analysis, general purpose digital modulation and more.

RF probing

Signal input methods on spectrum analyzers are typically limited to cabled

connections or antennas. But with the optional TPA-N-VPI adapter, any

active, 50 Ω TekVPI probe can be used with the spectrum analyzer on the

MDO4000B Series. This enables additional flexibility when hunting for

noise sources and enables easier spectral analysis by using true signal

browsing on an RF input.

In addition, an optional preamplifier accessory assists in the investigation of

lower-amplitude signals. The TPA-N-PRE preamplifier provides 12 dB

nominal gain across the 9 kHz - 6 GHz frequency range.

The optional TPA-N-VPI adapter enables any active, 50 Ω TekVPI probe to be

Wave Inspector® navigation and search

With long record lengths, a single acquisition can include thousands of

screens of waveform data. Wave Inspector®, the industry’s best tool for

navigation and search, enables you to find events of interest in seconds.

Datasheet

12 www.tektronix.com

Wave Inspector controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing, navigating, and

analyzing waveform data. Zip through your long record by turning the outer pan control

(1). Get details from the beginning to end in seconds. See something of interest and want

to see more details? Just turn the inner zoom control (2).

Zoom and pan

A dedicated, two-tier front-panel control provides intuitive control of both

zooming and panning. The inner control adjusts the zoom factor (or zoom

scale); turning it clockwise activates zoom and goes to progressively higher

zoom factors, while turning it counterclockwise results in lower zoom

factors and eventually turning zoom off. No longer do you need to navigate

through multiple menus to adjust your zoom view. The outer control pans

the zoom box across the waveform to quickly get to the portion of waveform

you are interested in. The outer control also utilizes force-feedback to

determine how fast to pan on the waveform. The farther you turn the outer

control, the faster the zoom box moves. Pan direction is changed by simply

turning the control the other way.

Play/Pause

A dedicated Play/Pause front-panel button scrolls the waveform across the

display automatically while you look for anomalies or an event of interest.

Playback speed and direction are controlled using the intuitive pan control.

Once again, turning the control further makes the waveform scroll faster

and changing direction is as simple as turning the control the other way.

User marks

Press the Set Mark front-panel button to place one or more marks on the

waveform. Navigating between marks is as simple as pressing the

Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons on the front panel.

Search marks

The Search button allows you to automatically search through your long

acquisition looking for user-defined events. All occurrences of the event are

highlighted with search marks and are easily navigated to, using the front-

panel Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons. Search types include edge,

pulse width/glitch, timeout, runt, logic, setup and hold, rise/fall time, parallel

bus, and I2C, SPI, USB, Ethernet, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/

UART, MIL-STD-1553, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM packet content. A search mark

table provides a tabular view of the events found during the automated

search. Each event is shown with a time stamp, making timing

measurements between events easy.

Search step 1: You define what you would like to find.

Search step 2: Wave Inspector automatically searches through the record and marks

each event with a hollow white triangle. You can then use the Previous and Next buttons

to jump from one event to the next.

Search step 3: The Search Mark table provides a tabular view of each of the events

found by the automated search. Each event is shown with a time stamp making timing

measurements between events easy.

Serial triggering and analysis (optional)

On a serial bus, a single signal often includes address, control, data, and

clock information. This can make isolating events of interest difficult.

Automatic trigger, decode, and search on bus events and conditions gives

you a robust set of tools for debugging serial buses. The optional serial

protocol triggering and analysis functionality is offered free for a 30-day trial

period. This free trial period starts automatically when the instrument is

powered on for the first time.

Triggering on a specific OUT Token packet on a USB full-speed serial bus. The yellow

waveform is the D+ and the blue waveform is the D-. A bus waveform provides decoded

packet content including Start, Sync, PID, Address, End Point, CRC, Data values, and

Stop.

Serial triggering

Trigger on packet content such as start of packet, specific addresses,

specific data content, unique identifiers, etc. on popular serial interfaces

such as I2C, SPI, USB, Ethernet, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/

UART, MIL-STD-1553, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM.

Bus display

Provides a higher-level, combined view of the individual signals (clock,

data, chip enable, etc.) that make up your bus, making it easy to identify

where packets begin and end and identifying sub-packet components such

as address, data, identifier, CRC, etc.

Bus decoding

Tired of having to visually inspect the waveform to count clocks, determine

if each bit is a 1 or a 0, combine bits into bytes, and determine the hex

value? Let the oscilloscope do it for you! Once you've set up a bus, the

MSO/DPO4000B Series will decode each packet on the bus, and display

the value in hex, binary, decimal (USB, Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553, LIN, and

FlexRay only), signed decimal (I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM only), or ASCII (USB,

Ethernet, and RS-232/422/485/UART only) in the bus waveform.

Event table

In addition to seeing decoded packet data on the bus waveform itself, you

can view all captured packets in a tabular view much like you would see in

a software listing. Packets are time stamped and listed consecutively with

columns for each component (Address, Data, etc.). You can save the event

table data in .csv format.

Search (serial triggering)

Serial triggering is very useful for isolating the event of interest, but once

you’ve captured it and need to analyze the surrounding data, what do you

do? In the past, users had to manually scroll through the waveform

counting and converting bits and looking for what caused the event. You

can have the oscilloscope automatically search through the acquired data

for user-defined criteria including serial packet content. Each occurrence is

highlighted by a search mark. Rapid navigation between marks is as simple

as pressing the Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons on the front panel.

Power analysis (optional)

Ever increasing consumer demand for longer battery-life devices and for

green solutions that consume less power require power-supply designers to

characterize and minimize switching losses to improve efficiency. In

addition, the supply’s power levels, output purity, and harmonic feedback

into the power line must be characterized to comply with national and

regional power quality standards. Historically, making these and many

other power measurements on an oscilloscope has been a long, manual,

and tedious process. The optional power analysis tools greatly simplify

these tasks, enabling quick and accurate analysis of power quality,

switching loss, harmonics, safe operating area (SOA), modulation, ripple,

and slew rate (di/dt, dv/dt). Completely integrated into the oscilloscope, the

power analysis tools provide automated, repeatable power measurements

with a touch of a button; no external PC or complex software setup is

required. The optional power analysis functionality is offered free for a 30-

day trial period. This free trial period starts automatically when the

instrument is powered on for the first time.

Safe operating area measurement. Automated power measurements enable quick and

accurate analysis of common power parameters.

Limit/Mask testing (optional)

A common task during the development process is characterizing the

behavior of certain signals in a system. One method, called limit testing, is

to compare a tested signal to a known good or "golden" version of the

same signal with user-defined vertical and horizontal tolerances. Another

common method, called mask testing, is to compare a tested signal to a

mask, looking for where a signal under test violates the mask. The

MDO4000B Series offers both limit and mask testing capability useful for

long-term signal monitoring, characterizing signals during design, or testing

on a production line. A robust set of telecommunications and computer

standards are provided to test for compliance to a standard. Additionally,

custom masks can be created and used for characterizing signals. Tailor a

test to your specific requirements by defining test duration in number of

waveforms or time, a violation threshold that must be met before

considering a test a failure, counting hits along with statistical information,

and actions upon violations, test failure, and test complete. Whether

specifying a mask from a known good signal or from a custom or standard

mask, conducting pass/fail tests in search of waveform anomalies such as

glitches has never been easier. The optional limit/mask test functionality is

offered free for a 30-day trial period. This free trial period starts

automatically when the instrument is powered on for the first time.

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, as well as a video picture mode

enabling you to see the picture of the video signal you are viewing - for

NTSC and PAL signals. The optional video analysis functionality is offered

free for a 30- day trial period. This free trial period starts automatically when

the instrument is powered on for the first time.

Viewing an NTSC video image. Video picture mode contains automatic contrast and

brightness settings as well as manual controls.

setup files, or data files.

A video out port on the rear of the instrument allows the display to be

exported to an external monitor or projector.

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.

TekVPI® probe interface

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. The instrument provides up to 50 W of

power to the front panel TekVPI connectors from the internal power supply,

giving you the confidence that it can meet any demanding probing

requirements you have.

TekVPI probe interface simplifies connecting your probes to the oscilloscope.

Remote connectivity and instrument control

Exporting data and measurements is as simple as connecting a USB cable

from the oscilloscope to your PC. Key software applications –
