Key features
Welcome to the 5 Series MSO Low Profile. The 5 Series MSO Low Profile (MSO58LP) is an 8-channel oscilloscope with the world's first
FlexChannel
®
-based inputs, enabling you to efficiently and cost-effectively perform mixed signal debugging on virtually any design.
• Low profile instrument with no display, comes ready to install in a 2U rack mount space
• 500 MHz (upgradeable) and 1 GHz bandwidths
• 8 channels with FlexChannel
®
inputs
• Each FlexChannel input is dual-purpose, letting you connect either an analog probe (TekVPI
®
or BNC) or an eight-channel digital probe
(the TLP058 FlexChannel Logic Probe)
• Each FlexChannel can display 8 digital channels (with TLP058), an analog waveform, a spectrum trace, or both an analog and spectral
view of the same channel at the same time with independent controls for each view
• Maximum 6.25 GS/s sample rate
• 125 M points record length on all channels (optional 250, 500 M record length available)
• 500,000 waveforms/second maximum waveform capture rate
• Cursors analysis: Waveform, V Bars, H Bars, V&H Bars, Multi source cursor (readouts)
• Spectrum View enables simple, intuitive frequency domain analysis, independent of time domain controls, to show a spectral trace for
each channel
• FastFrame
™
segmented memory acquisition uses multiple trigger events to capture widely spaced events of interest at high sample
rates while conserving acquisition memory
• No set limit on the number of math, reference, and bus waveforms you can acquire (the number of waveforms depends on available
system memory)
• Integrated options include a 50 MHz arbitrary/function generator (AFG), and a Digital Voltmeter (DVM) and trigger frequency counter
• Advanced serial bus triggering and analysis options let you decode and trigger on industry standard buses. See the Serial bus and
trigger options Help topic
• Power, WBG-DPT, Spectrum measurements, DPM, IMDA, and Jitter options provide additional measurement and analysis functions.
See the Advanced Power Analysis, DPM Analysis, and Advanced Jitter Analysis Help topics.
