Don't run out of channels

Available with 4, 6 or 8 FlexChannel inputs. Each can be used to look at 1 high-resolution analog waveform or look at 8 digital logic waveforms just be changing the probe.

Let no detail go unseen, with up to 16 bits of vertical resolution.

B12-bit analog to digital converters deliver up to 16 bit of vertical resolution using advanced digital signal processing. See and measure small signal details, even if they're riding on large signals.

The core of the new 5 Series MSO - the T49 ASIC

The Tek49 is a Tektronix proprietry ASIC and the product of the largest ASIC investment ever in Tektronix's history. It is the core of MSO 5 Series oscilloscope and is what gives the scope its Multliple FlexChannel capability at such a High Resolution.
In this short video Director of Technology, Bart Mooyman-Beck talks about the design philosophy of the T49 and its impact on the new MSO 5 Series scope.

Upgrade Guide

5 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Low Profile

Instrument more of your experiment without adding racks

Replace your oscilloscopes and fit 6x more channels into your existing rack space. The 5 Series MSO LP offers 8 channels, plus an auxiliary trigger input, in a space-saving 2U instrument -- at a low cost-per-channel. Each the 8 FlexChannel™ inputs can be used as 1 analog channel or 8 digital channels.

Features & Applications

Feature: Creating an XYZ Plot

Watch how quick and easy it is to create an XYZ plot to analyse this composite video signal.

Application: Power Sequencing Verification with an 8-Channel Scope

In this article, published in "Electronic Design", 5th November 2017, David Pereles observes that, with the number of power supply rails on the rise and designers always under time-to-market pressure, 8-channel scopes are becoming the 'go-to' test instrument. He goes on to discuss how to apply them.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) troubleshooting

With the Spectrum View option, each analog channel on the 5 Series MSO can show you a time domain waveform, a spectrum or both. The time and frequency plots are synchronized to help you quickly determine which signals are the victims and which are the aggressors.
