  • Description

    More than just a new display and user interface. A new standard.

     

    Get the big picture and take total control, with the 15.6 HD touchscreen display. Use the capacitive pinch-zoom-swipe touchscreen, front panel controls, or mouse to analyze and manage multiple signals without fighting through menus.

     

    Don't run out of channels.

     

    Available with 4, 6, or 8 FlexChannel inputs. Each can be used to look at 1 analog signal or look at 8 digital logic signals, just by changing the probe. Display any analog signal as a high-resolution waveform, a spectrum, or both at the same time, with independent acquisition controls for each domain.

     

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

     

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

    Embedded serial bus analysis

    Serial bus decode and trigger options transform the 4 Series MSO into an indispensable tool for debugging serial buses with automatic decode, trigger, and search. Here are a few examples:

    • I2C, SPI
    • I3C
    • RS-232 / 422 / 485 / UART
    • USB 2.0
    • Ethernet

     

    Automotive Serial Bus Analysis

    Car designers rely on serial buses for error-free communications between ECUs, sensors and actuators. They can also rely on the 5 Series MSO, equipped with CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, PSI5 and SENT decoding to be able to get a synchronized view of their systems. The automated Automotive Ethernet compliance suite lets you test to the standard, without becoming a high speed bus expert.
