Data Sheet
White edges indicate additional information is available by zooming in. As shown here,
zooming in on the white edge reveals a hidden glitch.
The MagniVu high-resolution record provides 60.6 ps timing resolution, enabling you to
make critical timing measurements on your digital waveforms.
The multiple transition detection hardware of the MSO4000 Series will
show you a white edge on the display when the system detects multiple
transitions. White edges indicate that more information is available by
zooming in or acquiring at faster sampling rates. In most cases zooming in
will reveal the pulse that was not viewable with the previous settings. If the
white edge is still present after zooming in as far as possible, this indicates
that increasing the sample rate on the next acquisition will reveal higher
frequency information than the previous settings could acquire.
The P6516 MSO probe offers two eight-channel pods to simplify connecting to your
device.
The MSO4000 Series simplifies channel setup by allowing you to 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.
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.
MagniVu™ High-speed Acquisition
The main digital acquisition mode on the MSO4000 Series will capture up
to 10M points at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main record,
the MSO4000 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.
P6516 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 P6516 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 P6516 offers
outstanding electrical characteristics, applying only 3 pF of loading.
