Tektronix 5 Series B Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) is built to tackle today’s toughest challenges—and tomorrow’s. Designed for engineers and researchers working with complex systems, it sets a new standard in performance, analysis, and user experience. With high-fidelity waveforms, advanced spectrum analysis, versatile probing, and a panoramic view of your design, it provides unparalleled visibility into your signals.

Available in 4, 6, and 8-channel models, the 5 Series B MSO offers bandwidth options from 350 MHz to 2 GHz, up to 8 FlexChannel® inputs, and an intuitive 15.6-inch HD touchscreen (1920 × 1080). Its scalable architecture, enhanced user interface, and powerful debugging tools make it an ideal solution for embedded system design, power analysis, and high-speed serial testing.

New in the 5 Series B MSO

1. Auxiliary trigger input lets you synch without consuming a full capability input channel

2. 2x faster waveforms from the built in function generator

3. Brighter display

4. History mode uses extended memory, allowing you to capture many trigger events, stop when you see something interesting, and quickly review

5. Processor makes controls even more responsive and will support additional analysis in the future

6. Solid state drive system stores all user data on a removable drive for added security

FlexChannel Technology enables maximum Flexibility and Broader System Visibility

The 5 Series B MSO FlexChannel technology enables each channel input to be used as a single analog channel, eight digital logic inputs (with the TLP058 logic probe), or simultaneous analog and spectrum views with independent acquisition controls for each domain. Imagine the flexibility and configurability this provides.

With an eight FlexChannel model, you can configure the instrument to look at eight analogs and zero digital signals. Or seven analog and eight digital. Or six analog and 16 digital, five analog and 24 digital, and so on. You can change the configuration at any time by simply adding or removing TLP058 logic probes, so you always have the right number of digital channels.

Spectrum View

The Tektronix 5 Series B MSO lets you independently adjust time- and frequency-domain views, by using patented technology behind each FlexChannel input. You can turn on a spectrum view for any analog channel, enabling multi-channel mixed domain analysis.

Intuitive spectrum analyzer controls like center frequency, span and resolution bandwidth (RBW) make setups easy, and RF vs time triggers make capturing anomalies straightforward.

Jitter analysis

The 5 Series B MSO has seamlessly integrated the DPOJET Essentials jitter and eye pattern analysis software package, extending the oscilloscope's capabilities to take measurements over contiguous clock and data cycles in a single-shot real-time acquisition.

This enables measurement of key jitter and timing analysis parameters such as Time Interval Error and Phase Noise to help characterize possible system timing issues.

Built-in Arbitrary/Function Generator (AFG)

An integrated function generator is perfect for testing frequency response, simulating sensor signals, and adding noise to signals for stress

testing.

• 13 standard waveform functions

• 50 MHz Sine / 25 MHz Square and Pulse (100 MHz Sine / 50 MHz Square and Pulse on 5 Series B MSO)

• 128k, 250 MS/s arbitrary waveforms
