• 2- and 4- channel digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) models.
• 2+16- channel and 4+16- channel mixed- signal oscilloscope (MSO)
models.
An MSO lets you debug your mixed- signal designs using analog signals
and tightly correlated digital signals simultaneously. The 16 digital
channels have a 1 GSa/s sample rate (1.25 GSa/s for the 1 GHz
models), with a 50 MHz toggle rate.
•8.5inchWVGAdisplay.
• Interleaved 2 Mpts or non-interleaved 1 Mpts MegaZoom IV memory
for the fastest waveform update rates, uncompromised. Upgradeable to
4 Mpts/2 Mpts.
• All knobs are pushable for making quick selections.
• Trigger types: edge, edge then edge, pulse width, pattern, OR, rise/fall
time, Nth edge burst, runt, setup & hold, video, and USB.
• Serial decode/trigger options for: CAN/LIN, FlexRay, I2C/SPI, I2S,
UART/RS232, and MIL- STD- 1553/ARINC 429. Lister for serial decode
• Math waveforms: add, subtract, multiply, FFT, d/dt, integrate, and
square root. With the DSOX3ADVMATH option, you get these additional
math waveforms: Ax+B, square, absolute value, common logarithm,
natural logarithm, exponential, base 10 exponential, low pass filter,
high pass filter, magnify, measurement trend, chart logic bus timing,
and chart logic bus state.
• Reference waveform locations (2) for comparing with other channel or
math waveforms.
• Many built- in measurements and a measurement statistics display.
• Built- in license- enabled waveform generator with: arbitrary, sine,
square, ramp, pulse, DC, noise, sine cardinal, exponential rise,
exponential fall, cardiac, and gaussian pulse.
• USB ports make printing, saving and sharing data easy.
• Optional LAN/VGA module for connecting to a network and displaying
the screen on a different monitor.
• Optional GPIB module.
• A Quick Help system is built into the oscilloscope. Press and hold any
key to display Quick Help. Complete instructions for using the quick
help system are given in “Access the Built-In Quick Help" on page 47.

TIP
Abbreviated instructions for pressing a series of keys and softkeys
Instructions for pressing a series of keys are written in an abbreviated manner. Instructions
for pressing [Key1], then pressing Softkey2, then pressing Softkey3 are abbreviated as
follows:
Press [Key1]> Softkey2 > Softkey3.
The keys may be a front panel [Key] or a Softkey. Softkeys are the six keys located directly
below the oscilloscope display.
