Atec Tektronix-MSO7000 Series - Manual (Page 13)

Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes / Digital Serial Analyzers / Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes
Production Testing
In addition to assisting engineers with design tasks, the DPO/DSA70000B
and MSO70000 can provide test engineers with the ability to test analog and
digital signals with a wide range of clock speeds and data rates. Rackmount
options are available for mounting the DPO/DSA70000B and MSO70000
into an EIA standard 19 inch (487 mm) rack. An IEEE 488.2 standard GPIB
interface is standard on all models.
OpenChoice ® Analysis Tools
The OpenChoice Software allows you to customize your test and
measurement system with familiar analysis tools. The analysis and
networking features of the OpenChoice software add more flexibility
to Tektronix’ DPO/DSA70000B and MSO70000 Series oscilloscopes:
Using the fast embedded bus, waveform data can be moved directly from
acquisition to analysis applications on the Windows desktop at much faster
speeds than conventional GPIB transfers.
Tektronix’ implementation of industry-standard protocols, such as
TekVISA™ interface and ActiveX controls, are included for using and
enhancing Windows applications for data analysis and documentation. IVI
instrument drivers are included to enable easy communication with the
oscilloscope using GPIB, RS-232, and LAN connections from programs
running on the instrument or an external PC. Or, use the Software
Developer’s Kit (SDK) to help create custom software to automate multistep
processes in waveform collection and analysis with Visual BASIC, C, C++,
MATLAB, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and other common Application
Development Environments. Integration of the oscilloscope with external
PCs and non-Windows hosts is also supported.
Research
With industry leading acquisition speed and signal-to-noise ratio
performance, the DPO/DSA70000B and MSO70000 can provide
researchers with tools that allow them to capture, display, and analyze
high-speed and transient signals with unmatched precision.
Full Control of Acquisition and Display Parameters
You have full control of the instrument’s acquisition modes. Choose the
mode you need to do your job the fastest: Automatic, Constant Sample
Rate, or Manual settings. When you are doing signal exploration and want
a lively signal, the default Automatic mode provides you with the liveliest
display update rate. If you want the highest real-time sample rate that
will give you the most measurement accuracy, then the Constant Sample
Rate mode is for you. It will maintain the highest sample rate and provide
the best real-time resolution. Finally the Manual mode ensures direct and
independent control of the sample rate and record length for applications
requiring specific settings.
TekLink™
When you need to capture a large number of signals simultaneously,
TekLink allows you to synchronize multiple DPO/DSA70000B and
MSO70000 oscilloscopes and acquire more than four channels. TekLink
enables synchronized capture on up to 4 oscilloscopes with one trigger
event.
Document Tools
The OpenChoice architecture provides a comprehensive software
infrastructure for faster, more versatile operations. Data transfer utilities,
such as the Excel or Word toolbar plug-ins can be used to simplify analysis
and documentation on the Windows desktop or on an external PC.
Unmatched Usability
The DPO/DSA70000B Series instruments excel in usability with a suite of
productivity features, such as a touch screen, flat menu structures, intuitive
graphical icons, knob-per-channel vertical controls, right clicks, mouse
wheel operation, and familiar Windows-based controls.
MyScope ® – Create Your Own Control Windows
Easily create your own personalized "toolbox" of oscilloscope features
in a matter of minutes using a simple, visual, drag-and-drop process.
Once created, these custom control windows are easily accessed through
a dedicated MyScope button and menu selection on the oscilloscope
button/menu bar, just like any other control window. You can make an
unlimited number of custom control windows, enabling each person who
uses the oscilloscope in a shared environment to have their own unique
control window. MyScope control windows will benefit all oscilloscope
users, eliminating the ramp-up time that many face when returning to the lab
after not using an oscilloscope for a while, and enables the power user to be
far more efficient. Everything you need is found in one control window rather
than navigating through multiple menus to repeat similar tasks.
