Data Sheet
Advanced Search and Mark – Highlights important events, skips unimportant ones, and
navigates between events of interest effortlessly.
FastFrame
When the key events you are interested in are widely spaced in time, such
as bursts of activity on a bus, FastFrame segmented memory feature on
the DPO/DSA70000B and MSO70000 Series enables you to capture the
events of interest while conserving acquisition memory. Using multiple
trigger events, FastFrame captures and stores short bursts of signals and
saves them as frames for later viewing and analysis. On the MSO70000,
FastFrame and bus or logic triggering enable you to capture your fastest,
bursty signals on the analog channels at the highest sample rate while
the logic channel trigger recognizes the bus cycle of interest. Capturing
thousands frames is possible, so long term trends and changes in the
bursting signal can be analyzed.
Advanced Search and Mark
Isolating the key event causing your system failure can often be a tedious
task. With the Advanced Event Search and Mark (Option ASM) feature
examining data and highlighting important events, skipping the unimportant
ones, and enhancing the comprehension of event relationships is made
easy. With ASM, you’ll be able to navigate between the events of interest
effortlessly and uncover that rare event you have been trying to find.
Embedded Serial Bus (I 2 C, SPI) Decoding and
Triggering (MSO70000 only)
The MSO70000 Series instruments provide I 2 C and SPI serial bus decoding
and bus triggering that enable you to monitor or debug subsystems and
components, such as frequency synthesizers, D/A converters, and Flash
Memory that are controlled or monitored using I
2 C or SPI serial buses.
While monitoring or debugging these serial buses alone is relatively easy,
decoding events on the serial bus can also enable more complex system
level debugging. When you experience an issue with a higher-speed
serial interface, the clue to what is going wrong may be found by using the
The low-cost solder tips available for the P7500 TriMode probes allow quick connection so
moving the probe to various solder points is fast and easy.
Solder tip accessories designed for the P6780 differential logic probes provide access to
signals on tightly spaced vias and fine-pitched components.
MSO70000 Series bus decode feature to observe the data on your I 2 C or
SPI interface.
Probing – Analog And Digital
Often the biggest challenge in debugging a system is getting access to
the required signals. Tektronix offers a wide array of probing solutions,
including the P7500 TriMode probing system with bandwidths that are
perfectly matched to the DPO/DSA70000B and MSO70000 Series. The
P7500 TriMode probes allow you to switch among differential, single-ended,
and common-mode measurements without moving the probe from its
connection points. The P7500 Series offers probes with performance
from 4 GHz to 20 GHz and offers several low-cost solder tips with quick
connection features that allow moving the probe to various solder points
fast and easy.
On the MSO70000, the P6780 and P6717 logic probes provide connectivity
to low-speed and high-speed digital signals with low loading, small size and
a range of accessories for soldering and browsing.
