Comprehensive features speed every stage
of debug
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.
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.
From triggering on specific packet content to automatic decode in multiple
data formats, the oscilloscope provides integrated support for the industry's
broadest range of serial buses - I2C, SPI, USB, Ethernet, CAN, LIN,
FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-STD-1553, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM. The
ability to decode up to four serial and/or parallel buses simultaneously
means you gain insight into system-level problems quickly.
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.
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
™
time correlating all analog, digital, and serial signals. The MagniVu high-
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.
Discover ‒ Fast waveform capture rate - over 50,000 wfm/s - maximizes the probability
of capturing elusive glitches and other infrequent events.
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.
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.
