6 Series Low Profile Digitizer
Applications requiring high-speed digitizers shouldn’t trade-off performance when turning on channels. The 6 Series Low Profile Digitizer sets a new standard by not interleaving sample rate, bandwidth or record length. You get the fastest and most accurate performance from your digitizer – all in a 2U space.
- 25 GS/s on all 4 channels
- DC to 8 GHz on all 4 channels
- 12-bit analog-to-digital converters
- Up to 1 billion samples (1 Gpt) on all 4 channels
- Up to 2 GHz RF DDC bandwidth on all channels
- 2U rack ready digitizer
- Best in class low noise and ENOB
Big Physics – Machine Diagnostics
Physics is constantly leading the world to exciting new scientific discoveries in both matter and energy. These experiments require digitizers and oscilloscopes with new levels of precision, performance and size when monitoring target test points. The 6 Series Low Profile Digitizer exceed these by bringing an award winning oscilloscope user interface, industry leading performance, small form factor and Tektronix’s class of reliability. Test equipment just got better.

Built-in Spectrum View inputs with DDC & IQ data offload
Whether you’re a spectrum analyzer expert or an occasional user, you’ll be able to put the built-in Spectrum View right to work. The Tektronix TEK049 ASIC has patented dual signal paths with an ADC and DDC that allow independent controls of both time domain and frequency domain.
Highlights
- Up to 2 GHz bandwidth with Digital Down Converter (DDC)
- Individual time domain and frequency domain controls
- Fast raw IQ data offloading to PC
- RF vs Time Triggering (trigger on frequency or magnitude changes)
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

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
Transition from design to manufacturing test, effortlessly
Eliminate work by using exactly the same software and test routines in production that you developed during design. Use the benchtop 6 Series MSO with its 15.6-inch HD display and pinch-swipe-zoom touchscreen for design validation. Run the same user interface, similar hardware while using the compact low-profile digitizer version in manufacturing.
