System turn-on and verification
From the time a design is first powered up through the initial operational
checks, the MSO/DPO70000 Series provide the features you need.
Uncompromised four-channel acquisition
With very low noise and up to 50 GS/s sample rate on all four channels the
DPO70000 Series ensures that signal integrity checks and timing analysis
can be done without worrying about noise and jitter in the scope distorting
the measurements. Single-shot bandwidths up to 23 GHz on all four
channels ensure that you'll capture your signals of interest without worrying
about undersampling when using more than 1 or 2 channels.
For applications requiring the lowest internal noise and jitter, 100 GS/s
performance further reduces noise and jitter and provides additional
measurement headroom.

matches the analog record lengths for uncompromised analog and
digital acquisition
MultiView Zoom helps you manage long records, compare and
analyze multiple waveform segments
With high signal-to-noise ratio and low internal noise floor, the MSO/
DPO70000 Series enable you to perform precise characterization
measurements. When debugging a DUT, a low noise floor and
maximum signal fidelity of the measurement instrument allows you to
find the smallest anomalies affecting the DUT's performance. For RF
signals, a lower noise floor translates into a higher dynamic range,
opening the MSO/DPO70000 Series to a wider range of applications.
P7633 Low Noise TriMode probes simplify complex measurement setups.

16-channel digital acquisition (MSO70000 Series)
When you have many interfaces to verify, the MSO70000 Series with
4 analog and 16 logic channels enables efficient channel-to-channel timing
checks. With timing resolution of 80 ps, the MSO70000 Series' digital
acquisition system enables you to make precise timing measurements on
as many as 20 channels simultaneously.
Deep record length available on all channels
Longer duration events such as power supply sequencing and system
status words can be analyzed without sacrificing timing resolution using the
long memory depths available on all four analog channels in the DPO70000
Series as well as the 16 logic channels of the MSO70000 Series. Optional
memory depths up to 125 MS (Option 10XL) on the 4, 6, and 8 GHz
models, 250 MS (Option 20XL) on the 12.5 through 20 GHz models and
500 MS (4 channels)/1 GS (2 channels) with option 50XL on the 23 through
33 GHz models are available.
iCapture
®
– One connection for analog and digital
(MSO70000 Series)
The number of signals that must be verified can often make the checkout of
a design long and involved. By using the iCapture
®
digital-to-analog
multiplexer feature, you can easily verify the analog characteristics of any
of the 16 signals connected to the MSO70000 Series' digital channels
without changing probes or connections. Using iCapture
®
, you can quickly
view the analog characteristics of any input channel. If the signal is working
as expected, relegate it to a digital-only view and continue testing other
lines.
Bus decoding and triggering
Verifying your system operation often requires the ability to see specific
system states on a key bus such as the DDR SDRAM interface. The MSO/
DPO70000 Series includes parallel and serial bus decoding that provides
deeper insight into the system's behavior. Using the bus triggering
capability of the MSO/DPO70000 Series to isolate the exact state needed
or find invalid bus sequences is as easy as defining the bus and choosing
the bit pattern or symbolic word that describes the desired state. In
addition, serial bus decoding for 8b/10b encoded data, I
2
C, SPI,
RS-232/422/485/UART, USB, and MIPI
®
DSI and CSI2 buses enables you
to identify where control and data packets begin and end as well as identify
subpacket components such as address, data, CRC, etc.
10 ms duration capture of synchronous high-speed and low-speed signals at 25 GS/s.
Power supplies can be a critical failure point in any system. Careful testing
of the power delivery system's power on sequence can be time consuming.
The MSO70000 Series provides independent logic thresholds for each logic
channel enabling multiple logic voltages to be set up and observed
simultaneously for quick verification of the system's power rails.
Protocol and serial pattern triggering
To verify serial architectures, the serial pattern triggering for NRZ serial
data streams with built-in clock recovery in the MSO/DPO70000 Series
allows correlating events across physical and link layers. The instruments
can recover the clock signal, identify transitions, and allow you to set the
desired encoded words for the serial pattern trigger to capture. This feature
comes standard on the MSO70000 Series and is available on the
DPO70000 Series as Option ST6G. For higher bit rate standards like USB
3.0, the 8b/10b serial pattern trigger and decode covers data rates up to
6.25 Gb/s.
Pattern lock triggering adds an extra dimension to NRZ serial pattern
triggering by enabling the oscilloscope to take synchronized acquisitions of
a long serial test pattern with outstanding time base accuracy. Pattern lock
triggering can be used to remove random jitter from long serial data
patterns. Effects of specific bit transitions can be investigated, and
averaging can be used with mask testing. Pattern lock triggering supports
up to 6.25 Gb/s NRZ serial data streams and is standard on the MSO70000
Series instruments, or is included as part of Option ST6G on the
DPO70000 Series.
Symbolic bus formats simplify identifying system states and setting up bus triggers.

Digital and Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes – MSO/DPO70000 Series
Visual Trigger – Find the signal of interest quickly
Finding the right cycle of a complex bus can require hours of collecting and
sorting through thousands of acquisitions for an event of interest. Defining a
trigger that isolates the desired event speeds up debug and analysis
efforts.
Visual Trigger qualifies the Tektronix Pinpoint Triggers by scanning through
all waveform acquisitions and comparing them to on-screen areas
(geometric shapes). Up to eight areas can be created using a mouse or
touchscreen, and a variety of shapes (triangles, rectangles, hexagons, or
trapezoids) can be used to specify the desired trigger behavior. Once
shapes are created, they can be edited interactively to create ideal trigger
conditions
Visual Trigger extends the Tektronix oscilloscope's triggering capabilities
for a wide variety of complex signals as illustrated by the examples shown
here.
By triggering only on the most important signal events, Visual Trigger can
save hours of capturing and manually searching through acquisitions. In
seconds or minutes, you can find the critical events and complete your
debug and analysis efforts. Using the Mark All Trigger Events feature, once
your Visual Trigger is set, your oscilloscope can automatically search the
entire acquired waveform for all events with the same characteristics and
mark them for you - a great time-saving feature.
DDR memory bus events involve clocks, strobes and data channels as well
as multiple amplitudes and bursts of data.
DDR memory. Visual Trigger used to isolate a rare occurrence of a write burst on a
specific bit pattern in DDR3. The trigger event is a Write DQ burst of 11000000, when the
DQ launch starts from a non-tri-state voltage value. DDR memory bus events involve
clocks, strobes and data channels as well as multiple amplitudes and bursts of data.
Customized serial triggering. Visual Trigger set to find a serial data pattern of 1101 0101.
Boolean logic trigger qualification. Boolean logic using logical OR allows the user to
simultaneously monitor each bit and capture the occurrence of an anomaly at any point
in the acquisition.
Multiple channel triggering. Visual Trigger areas can be associated with events spanning
multiple channels such as packets transmitted on two USB2.0 buses simultaneously.
