DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The excellent measurement capabilities of the DPO70000 and MSO70000 Series oscilloscopes allow them to be used at all stages of a project, from prototype testing to finished product testing. With industry-leading noise floor and 50 GS/s sampling rate on all four channels, You can check the integrity of the most complex signals and analyze their time parameters without taking into account the distortions caused by the noise and jitter of the device itself. And for applications that require even less noise and jitter from the oscilloscope, you can use 100 GS/s sampling rates on two channels.

With excellent signal-to-noise ratio and low noise floor, the DPO70000 and MSO70000 Series oscilloscopes allow very precise measurements. When debugging complex devices, the low noise level of the oscilloscope and the high quality of its measuring path allow you to find the smallest anomalies that can affect the operation of the entire system. And when analyzing RF signals, these characteristics greatly increase the useful dynamic range, expanding the scope of the DPO70000 and MSO70000. Below on this page describes the main features of the oscilloscopes of these series. You can download a full description of all the characteristics below on this page in the section Documentation.

Software options for automation of measurements, advanced analysis and certification testing of digital protocols

The DPO70000 and MSO70000 Series oscilloscopes can be equipped with software options for in-depth analysis and certification for compliance with standards most modern digital data transfer protocols: USB, Ethernet, PCI Express, Serial ATA, DDR Memory, SAS, HDMI, DisplayPort, MIPI D-PHY and M-PHY and others.

This screenshot shows the work DDRA options designed for DDR memory bus analysis. This option allows you to automatically detect write and read packets on DDR1, LPDDR, LPDDR2, LPDDR3, DDR2, DDR3, DDR4, and GDDR3 buses, as well as verify that these buses comply with JEDEC requirements using pass / fail tests on all edges of the read packets - records. In addition to compliance testing, you can quickly solve complex signaling problems on DDR memory buses. Also, the DDRA option allows you to measure the parameters of synchronization, addressing and control signals.

This screenshot shows the work ET3 options designed for Ethernet Compliance Tests. This option allows you to automatically perform analog waveform testing, characterization, and standards compliance. Supported physical layer protocols for Ethernet are 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T.

Quickly locate the signal of interest with visual triggering

It can take several hours to collect and carefully analyze many captures to manually find the desired section of a complex serial signal. With the Visual Trigger System of the 70000 Series Oscilloscopes, you can specify the condition or waveform to be detected and the oscilloscope will do all the work. This greatly speeds up the debugging process.

Below is the code sequence 1101 0101 that was automatically captured by the oscilloscope using a custom visual trigger pattern.

Testing digital protocols using standard masks

Before launching new equipment with high-speed serial buses, a group of certification tests must be completed. This process is time-consuming and lengthy, requires special equipment and high qualifications.

To speed up and simplify certification testing, the DPO70000 and MSO70000 Series professional oscilloscopes provide a complete set of masks to test equipment against serial communication standards. More than 150 masks are supported for the following standards: PCI Express, USB, Serial ATA, Ethernet IEEE 802.3, ITU-T/ANSI T1.102, ANSI X3.263, Sonet/SDH, Fiber Channel, InfiniBand, Serial Attached SCSI, IEEE 1394b, RapidIO, OIF Standards, Open Base Station Architecture Initiative (OBSAI), Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), etc.

High Speed Serial Bus Decoding

With the appropriate options installed, Tektronix MSO/DPO70000 Series oscilloscopes can analyze high-speed serial bus protocols: PCI Express gen 1/2/3, MIPI D-PHY (CSI, DSI), and 8b/10b. As a result bit sequences can be converted into familiar commands and data packets for quick and easy analysis.

This screenshot shows both the bus electrical waveform and its decoded data at the protocol level, presented in a visual table. Time correlation of the data in the table with the waveform allows you to identify the causes of protocol errors that occur during the transmission of electrical signals.

Spectral and vector analysis of RF signals

The Tektronix DPO70000C and MSO70000C oscilloscopes have very high bandwidth, so they successfully used for direct recording and analysis of RF signals. To do this, the RF signal is digitized by an oscilloscope, and specialized SignalVu software analyzes it simultaneously in the frequency, time, phase, and modulation domains.

SignalVu measurements are fully time-correlated with the oscilloscope's capture and trigger system. Time-domain events, such as commands to the RF path, can be used as triggers while the RF signal itself is displayed as a spectrum or waterfall waveform.

This screenshot shows an example of how the SignalVu signal analysis program works. It can test broadband systems such as radar, high data rate satellite links, and frequency hopping radio signals, as well as search and locate various signals in the spectrum. SignalVu software combines the functionality of a spectrum analyzer, a vector signal analyzer, and the powerful triggering capabilities of the MSO/DPO70000 oscilloscopes.

Tektronix P7633 TriMode Low Noise Probes Simplify Complex Measurements

The performance of an oscilloscope is very important, but without quality probes it is impossible to properly connect to the signal source and get accurate results. So whether you're probing 8 Gb/s serial data streams, high-speed digital signals, or switching power supplies, it's important to use the right probe.

Tektronix offers a wide range of quality probes, including single-ended, differential, current, high voltage, digital, optical, and a wide range of accessories to connect to your target.
