5 Series MSO 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.
High-fidelity captures and high-quality data
With 500 MHz or 1 GHz analog bandwidth, 6.25 GS/s sample rate on all channels, and 125 M record length, the 5 Series MSO Low Profile has the performance you need to capture accurate waveform data with the best possible signal integrity.
See more signal detail than ever with 12-bit vertical resolution and ENOB of 7.6 bits at 1 GHz
12-bit analog-to-digital converters provide 16 times the vertical resolution of traditional 8-bit ADCs. Measure small signal details, even if they are riding on large signals.
Combine multiple high-speed digitizers
Turn two or more remote digitizers into a single virtual instrument. Use TekScope PC software to get fast results from multiple instruments, without programming.
- View all channels simultaneously
- Rearrange or group channels
- Unlimited automated measurements
- Easy Ethernet access
- High speed data transfers with TekHSI enabled through both TekScope PC and a standalone python package
Remote Control and Automation
Test automation increases test speed, reduces mistakes, and ensures that every device meets the same standard of quality. Low profile oscilloscopes efficiently execute automated procedures without wasting valuable rack space. With the right resources, tools, and tutorials, it's easier than ever to produce fast, consistent results. Get started quickly with developer resources, Python instrument drivers, or user-friendly PC applications.
- Comprehensive, fully-supported programmable interfaces enable development of robust custom software
- Simplify automation with Tektronix' free Python packages: tm_devices, an enhanced driver package, and TekHSI for high speed data transfer
- TekScope PC Software offers the same analysis capability available on Tektronix oscilloscopes, on your PC. It supports the new TekHSI high speed interface for much faster data transfers to your PC
- Built-in *eScope or Windows Remote Desktop let you control your scope over any LAN

High-Energy Physics
Pulsed power measurement applications capture fleeting events that represent the world of particle physics, and require the acquisition of many signals with high dynamic range in challenging physical environments. The 5 Series MSO Low Profile provides more than 6X the channel density of a traditional bench oscilloscope with industry-leading performance enabling confident collection of accurate test data.
Highlights
- 12-bit analog-to-digital converters
- ENOB of 7.6 at 1 GHz
- 500 M record length acquires up to 80 ms of time at 6.25 GS/s
- 2 rack units high (3.5 inches)
ATE Systems
Automated test systems require robust programming capability and are often subject to rack-space constraints. The 5 Series MSO Low Profile oscilloscope packs 8 inputs into just 2 rack units and it comes ready to mount. Each input can work as a precision analog channel or 8 digital channels. And you can develop tests on the 5 Series MSO with it's 15.6-inch display for design validation and use the same programming on the Low Profile version for production.
Highlights
- 8 FlexChannel inputs plus auxiliary trigger input
- 2 rack units high (3.5 inches) with rackmount attached
- 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN for easy communication
- USB 3.0 device port for fast communication
- Built-in programming command translator
- TekHSI high speed interface for much faster data transfers to your PC
