Tektronix has introduced the new MDO4000C oscilloscope that includes up to six built-in instruments, (spectrum analyser, arbitrary/function generator, logic analyser, protocol analyser and digital voltmeter/frequency counter).
When configured with an integrated spectrum analyser, the instrument provides simultaneous and synchronised acquisition of analog, digital and RF signal analysis – ideal for wireless communications in IoT and EMI troubleshooting. Completely customisable and fully upgradable, it can be used in the following applications:
Embedded design: discovers and solves issues by performing system level debug on mixed-signal embedded systems including today’s most common serial bus and wireless technologies.
Power design: makes reliable and repeatable voltage, current and power measurements using automated power quality, switching loss, harmonics, ripple, modulation and safe operating area measurements with a wide selection of power probes.
EMI troubleshooting: tracks the source of electromagnetic interference in an embedded system by determining which time domain signals may be causing unwanted EMI; observations in real time of the effects time domain signals have on system EMI emissions.
Wireless troubleshooting: whether using Bluetooth, 802.11 Wi-Fi, ZigBee or some other wireless technology, the MDO4000C enables viewing an entire system – analog, digital and RF – time-synchronised to understand its true behaviour; captures an ultra-wide band in a single capture to view interactions among multiple wireless technologies, or an entire broadband frequency range can be viewed from a modern standard like 802.11/ad.
Manufacturing test and troubleshooting: size and space constraints can play havoc on a manufacturing floor. The MDO4000C minimises rack or bench space by integrating multiple instruments into one small package. Integration reduces cost associated with using multiple different instrument types in manufacturing test or troubleshooting stations.
A new ‘Total Protection Plan’ is available to protect users’ investment, even from accidental damage.
