Key features
Welcome to the 5 Series B Mixed Signal Oscilloscope. The 5 Series B MSO includes FlexChannel® 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, or 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 view, or both an analog and spectral
view of the same channel at the same time with independent controls for each view
• 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, 250 M, and 500 M record lengths 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
• No set limit on the number of math, reference, and bus waveforms you can display (the number of waveforms depends on available
system memory)
• Integrated optional features include a 100 MHz arbitrary function generator (AFG), and a DVM and trigger frequency counter
• Optional serial triggering features enable you to isolate protocol-level events of interest in common aerospace, audio, automotive,
computer, and embedded serial buses. See the Serial bus and trigger options topic in the instrument Help, or the Serial Triggering and
Analysis Applications Datasheet (Tektronix part number 48W-61353-X) for more information.
• Power, DPM, Spectrum measurements, IMDA, and Jitter options provide additional measurement and analysis functions. See the
Advanced Power Analysis, DPM Analysis, and Advanced Jitter Analysis Help topics. IMDA application is available on MSO56B and
MSO58B only.
