This document describes the features and benefits of the Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes MSO2000 series and DPO2000 series, including key performance specifications such as bandwidth, analog and digital channel count, sample rate, record length, and waveform capture rate. It also introduces a suite of advanced trigger functions and serial bus trigger and decode options for I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, and RS-232/422/485/UART. Ease of use features include Wave Inspector® navigation and search, FilterVu™ variable low-pass filter, bright and widescreen TFT-LCD color display, front panel and rear panel USB 2.0 interfaces, and plug 'n' play PC connectivity. The MSO2000 series also offers mixed signal design and analysis capabilities with support for up to 4 analog and 16 digital channels. It is suitable for a wide range of applications.
The MSO2000 and DPO2000 series from Tektronix are digital phosphor oscilloscopes that combine high‑speed analog capture with optional mixed‑signal capability. Models offer 100 MHz or 200 MHz bandwidth, 2 or 4 analog channels, and up to 16 digital channels on the MSO variants, delivering up to 1 GS/s sample rates and 1 M‑point record length on every channel.
Key usability features include the Wave Inspector navigation system, FilterVu™ variable low‑pass filter, USB‑2.0 host/device ports, and built‑in serial‑bus trigger and decode for I²C, SPI, CAN, LIN, and RS‑232/422/485/UART. Optional probe interface (TekVPI) and a 7‑inch widescreen TFT‑LCD display enhance productivity for embedded‑design, automotive, and education applications.
