Tektronix MSO54B Oscilloscope, 4 FlexChannel Inputs, 350 MHz to 2 GHz

Description

Four well-chosen signals solve many bring-up problems, such as a clock, a data line, an enable and a supply rail. The Tektronix MSO54B oscilloscope gives you four FlexChannel inputs with deep memory. It belongs to the 5 Series B MSO range. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and it arranges service on request.

Bandwidth from 350 MHz to 2 GHz

First, you pick the bandwidth: 350 MHz, 500 MHz, 1 GHz or 2 GHz. A higher choice helps with fast edges, while a lower one often covers control logic and power work. So name the option in your request, and Lost in HCM confirms it on the unit on offer.

Specification summary

Deep memory for long captures

A long record also lets you catch a slow start-up and still zoom into a fast edge. Here the standard record is 62.5 Mpoints, and options stretch it to 125, 250 or 500 Mpoints. As a result, one trigger can cover a whole power-up sequence, because the sample rate can stay high.

Analog or digital on the same four inputs

Each FlexChannel serves as an analog input or, with a compatible logic probe, eight digital inputs. Four inputs therefore reach up to 32 digital lines. The analog and digital counts are alternative allocations, so they never run as separate maximums.

Where the Tektronix MSO54B oscilloscope fits

Controller bring-up is a classic fit, for example a clock, a data line and an enable on one screen. Power-up checks also benefit, because you can see the order of the supply rails. In addition, a serial bus can sit next to an analog sensor, while a university lab can share one capable scope.

Probe and grounding checks

First, check the input ratings and grounding in the manuals. A conventional probe reference lead must stay off live mains and arbitrary floating nodes. Use a suitably rated differential or isolated system there instead. Protocol and power analysis depend on installed licenses, so list them in your request.

MSO54B questions

Why does the photo show eight inputs?

The photo is a 5 Series B reference view of an eight-channel unit, but the MSO54B has four FlexChannel inputs.

How much memory can I add?

The standard record is 62.5 Mpoints, while optional records are 125, 250 or 500 Mpoints.

Do digital signals need separate probes?

Yes, because digital capture uses optional compatible logic probes. Each FlexChannel is then either analog or eight digital inputs.
