Description
How many nodes do you need to watch at once? For many embedded and power designs, four is enough. The Tektronix MSO64B oscilloscope offers four FlexChannel inputs in the 6 Series B MSO range, and Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, with service on request.
Four inputs, two ways to use them
First, each FlexChannel accepts an analog probe. With an optional compatible logic probe, the same input turns into eight digital channels instead. So the scope offers up to 32 digital channels, but those replace analog inputs rather than add to them.
However, the reference photo on this page shows a series unit with eight channels. This scope has four.
Specifications at a glance
| Series | 6 Series B MSO |
|---|---|
| FlexChannel inputs | 4 |
| Bandwidth | 1 GHz to 10 GHz, depending on option and active-channel configuration |
| Sample rate | Up to 50 GS/s on 2 channels; 25 GS/s on 4 |
| Record length | 62.5 Mpoints standard; optional up to 1 Gpoint on 4 channels |
| Digital channels | Up to 32 with optional compatible logic probes |
| Analysis | Protocol, power and other packages, depending on installed licenses |
Sample rate and bandwidth depend on the setup
Also, the best figures apply only to certain configurations. For example, the top sample rate needs just two active channels, and bandwidth varies with the option you buy. So decide which signals matter, then match the options on your Tektronix MSO64B oscilloscope to them. A long record also helps, because it keeps fine detail across a slow event.
Where the Tektronix MSO64B oscilloscope fits
- Firmware timing checks, such as a serial bus paired with a control line.
- Switching and ripple checks, as well as one or two power rails.
- Teaching labs and support benches, because one scope serves many users.
- Intermittent faults, which then need timing and signal relationships side by side.
Probe safely
Never clip a conventional probe reference lead to live mains or an arbitrary floating node. Instead, use a suitably rated differential or isolated system. The input ratings in the scope and probe manuals set the limits, so check them first.
Rent for a project or buy for the bench
Rental fits an audit, a short bring-up or a peak in R&D work, while a purchase fits a lab that reaches for the same scope every week. Either way, name the bandwidth, record length and analysis packages you need, because delivered options vary by unit.

Quick answers on the MSO64B
Do all four channels run at 50 GS/s?
No. The rate reaches 50 GS/s on 2 channels but 25 GS/s on 4, so it depends on how many inputs you use.
How much memory does it have?
Record length is 62.5 Mpoints as standard, and an option extends it up to 1 Gpoint on 4 channels.
Is the page photo the same model?
No. The photo shows a series unit with eight channels, while the MSO64B has four FlexChannel inputs.
