With a remarkably innovative pinch-swipe-zoom touchscreen user interface, the industry’s largest high-definition display, and 4, 6, or 8 FlexChannel® inputs that let you measure one analog or eight digital signals per channel, the 5 Series MSO is ready for today’s toughest
challenges, and tomorrow’s too. It sets a new standard for performance, analysis, and overall user experience.
Never let a lack of channels slow down your verification and debug process again!
The 5 Series MSO offers better visibility into complex systems by offering four, six and eight channel models with a large 15.6- inch high-definition (1,920 x 1,080) display. Many applications, such as embedded systems, three-phase power electronics, automotive
electronics, power supply design, and DC-to-DC power converters, require the observation of more than four analog signals to verify and characterize device performance, and to debug challenging system issues.
Most engineers can recall situations in which they were debugging a particularly difficult problem and wanted greater system visibility and context, but the scope they were using was limited to two or four analog channels. Using a second scope involves significant effort to align trigger points, difficulty in determining timing relationships across the two displays, and documentation challenges.
And while you might assume that a six and eight channel scope would cost 50% or 100% more than a four-channel scope, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that six channel models are only ~25% more than four channel models and eight channel models are only ~67% more
than four channel models. The additional analog channels can pay for themselves quickly by enabling you to keep current and future projects on schedule.
FlexChannel® technology enables maximum flexibility and broader system visibility
The 5 Series MSO redefines what a Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) should be. FlexChannel technology enables each channel input to be used as a single analog channel, eight digital logic inputs (with the TLP058 logic probe), or simultaneous analog and spectrum views with
independent acquisition controls for each domain. Imagine the flexibility and configurability this provides.
With an eight FlexChannel model, you can configure the instrument to look at eight analog and zero digital signals. Or seven analog and eight digital. Or six analog and 16 digital, five analog and 24 digital and so on. You can change the configuration at any time by simply adding or
removing TLP058 logic probes, so you always have the right number of digital channels.
