New affordable MDO and MSO scopes are based on test equipment vendor’s
award-winning design, and offer the largest displays in their class
LONDON, UK, 9 July 2019 – RS Components (RS), the trading brand of
Electrocomponents plc (LSE: ECM), a global multi-channel provider of
industrial and electronic products and solutions, has announced
availability of two brand-new ranges of test and measurement devices
from Tektronix: the 3 Series MDO (mixed-domain oscilloscope) and the 4
Series MSO (mixed-signal oscilloscope).
Created to suit a wide range of demanding debugging and signal
analysis applications at an affordable price, the scopes offer the
largest display sizes in their class and highly intuitive touchscreen
user interfaces, as well as excellent performance and advanced analysis
capabilities. The design of the scopes is based upon the award-winning
industrial design that Tektronix introduced in its 5 and 6 Series MSOs.
In particular, they implement touchscreens and front panels that make
the tool very easy to use with key controls readily available, rather
than forcing engineers to search through multiple menus to find the
right settings.
Key features of the 4 Series MSOs (https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/test-measurement/oscilloscopes-accessories/mixed-signal-oscilloscopes/?applied-dimensions=4294964703,4291325978)
include a 13.3-in display with 1920 x 1080 HD resolution, the use of
12-bit ADCs and bandwidths starting at 200MHz and going up to 1.5GHz. It
is also the first scope in its class to offer six input channels, as
well as the company’s innovative FlexChannel™ technology, which enables
any input channel to be converted to eight digital channels via the
connection of a logic probe. Support is also offered for options such as
serial decode and analysis, arbitrary/function generator and
DVM/frequency counter. In addition, the device’s Spectrum View delivers
time-correlated frequency domain analysis with independent spectrum
controls; and a power analysis package is also available to automate AC
line, switching device, ripple and sequencing measurements.
The 3 Series MDOs (https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/test-measurement/oscilloscopes-accessories/mixed-signal-oscilloscopes/?applied-dimensions=4294964703,4291324506)
offer a 11.6-in HD display, a similar set of knobs and buttons to the 4
Series, but also come with a depth of less than 6 inches, therefore not
taking up too much room on the desktop. Available in bandwidths
starting at 100MHz and extending to 1GHz, other key features include a
built-in spectrum analyser up to 3GHz with a separate RF input and
specifications comparable to a standalone analyser, which allows
engineers to quickly debug components or find unwanted EMI emissions
without having to use another instrument. Various models are available
offering 2.5-GS/s or 5-GS/s rates on all analogue and digital channels.
Both the 3 Series MDOs and 4 Series MSOs, and associated software,
are available to order now in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. (https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/test-measurement/oscilloscopes-accessories/oscilloscope-software/?applied-dimensions=4294964703,4291325967,4291325969)
