MagniVu high-speed acquisition
The main digital acquisition mode on the MSO4000B Series will capture up
to 20M points at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main record,
the oscilloscope provides an ultra high-resolution record called MagniVu
which acquires 10,000 points at up to 16.5 GS/s (60.6 ps resolution). Both
main and MagniVu waveforms are acquired on every trigger and can be
switched between in the display at any time, running or stopped. MagniVu
provides significantly finer timing resolution than comparable MSOs on the
market, instilling confidence when making critical timing measurements on
digital waveforms.
White edges indicate additional information is available by zooming in. As shown here,
zooming in on the white edge reveals a hidden glitch.
You can group digital waveforms and enter waveform labels by using a
USB keyboard. By simply placing digital waveforms next to each other, they
form a group.
The MagniVu high-resolution record provides 60.6 ps timing resolution, enabling you to
make critical timing measurements on your digital waveforms.
P6616 MSO probe
This unique probe design offers two eight-channel pods. Each channel
ends with a probe tip featuring a recessed ground for simplified connection
to the device under test. The coax on the first channel of each pod is
colored blue making it easy to identify. The common ground uses an
automotive-style connector making it easy to create custom grounds for
connecting to the device under test. When connecting to square pins, the
P6616 has an adapter that attaches to the probe head extending the probe
ground flush with the probe tip so you can attach to a header. The P6616
offers outstanding electrical characteristics, having only 3 pF of capacitive
loading, a 100 kΩ input resistance, and is capable of acquiring toggle rates
>500 MHz and pulses as short as 1 ns in duration.
With color-coded digital waveform display, groups are created by simply placing digital
channels together on the screen, allowing digital channels to be moved as a group. You
can set threshold values for each channel, enabling support for up to 16 different logic
families.
Once a group is formed, you can position all the channels contained in that
group collectively. This greatly reduces the normal setup time associated
with positioning channels individually.
