Comprehensive features speed every stage

of debug

These oscilloscopes offer a robust set of features to speed every stage of

debugging your design – from quickly discovering an anomaly and

capturing it, to searching your waveform record for the event and analyzing

its characteristics and your device’s behavior.

Discover

To debug a design problem, first you must know it exists. Every design

engineer spends time looking for problems in their design, a time-

consuming and frustrating task without the right debug tools.

The industry’s most complete visualization of signals provides fast insight

into the real operation of your device. A fast waveform capture rate –

greater than 50,000 waveforms per second – enables you to see glitches

and other infrequent transients within seconds, revealing the true nature of

device faults. A digital phosphor display with intensity grading shows the

history of a signal’s activity by intensifying areas of the signal that occur

more frequently, providing a visual display of just how often anomalies

occur.

Discover ‒ Fast waveform capture rate - over 50,000 wfm/s - maximizes the probability

of capturing elusive glitches and other infrequent events.

Capture

Discovering a device fault is only the first step. Next, you must capture the

event of interest to identify root cause.

Accurately capturing any signal of interest begins with proper probing. Low-

capacitance probes are included with the oscilloscope, one for each analog

channel. These industry-first high-impedance passive voltage probes have

less than 4 pF of capacitive loading to minimize the affect of the probe on

your circuit's operation, offering the performance of an active probe with the

flexibility of a passive probe.

A complete set of triggers - including runt, timeout, logic, pulse width/glitch,

setup/hold violation, serial packet, and parallel data - help you quickly find

your event. With up to a 20M point record length, you can capture many

events of interest, even thousands of serial packets, in a single acquisition

for further analysis while maintaining high resolution to zoom in on fine

signal details.

From triggering on specific packet content to automatic decode in multiple

data formats, the oscilloscope provides integrated support for the industry's

ability to decode up to four serial and/or parallel buses simultaneously

means you gain insight into system-level problems quickly.

To further help troubleshoot system-level interactions in complex

embedded systems, the oscilloscope offers 16 digital channels in addition

to its analog channels. Since the digital channels are fully integrated into

the oscilloscope, you can trigger across all input channels, automatically

speed acquisition on these channels enables you to acquire fine signal

detail (up to 60.6 ps resolution) around the trigger point for precision timing

measurements. MagniVu is essential for making accurate timing

measurements for setup and hold, clock delay, signal skew, and glitch

characterization.

Capture - Triggering on a specific transmit data packet going across an RS-232 bus. A

complete set of triggers, including triggers for specific serial packet content, ensures you

quickly capture your event of interest.
