Description
Debugging a modern board means watching many signals at once. The Tektronix MSO68B oscilloscope gives you eight FlexChannel inputs in one box, so you can follow a clock, a data line and a power rail together. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, with service on request.
How FlexChannel inputs work
First, each FlexChannel takes an analog probe. With an optional compatible logic probe, the same input becomes eight digital channels. As a result, the scope can show up to 64 digital channels. However, those counts are alternatives, not extras. Every input serves one purpose at a time.
MSO68B specifications
| Series | 6 Series B MSO |
|---|---|
| FlexChannel inputs | 8 |
| Bandwidth | 1 GHz to 10 GHz, depending on option and active-channel configuration |
| Maximum sample rate | Up to 50 GS/s on 2 channels, 25 GS/s on 4 and 12.5 GS/s on more than 4 |
| Record length | 62.5 Mpoints standard; optional up to 1 Gpoint on 4 channels or 500 Mpoints on more than 4 |
| Digital channels | Up to 64 with optional compatible logic probes |
| Analysis | Protocol, power and other packages, depending on installed licenses |
The best sample rate and bandwidth figures depend on how many channels are active. So do not assume them on every input at once.
Choose bandwidth, probes and options together
A scope is only as good as its whole measurement chain. Bandwidth, record length, probes and analysis licenses all change what you can see. For example, a long record helps when a slow event hides a fast glitch. So tell Lost in HCM which signals you will probe, and they will check the configuration of the Tektronix MSO68B oscilloscope on offer.
Probe with care
Never clip a conventional probe ground lead to a live mains or floating node. Instead, use a suitably rated differential or isolated measurement system. Also read the input ratings in the instrument and probe manuals before you connect anything.
Rent for a project or buy for the bench
Rental fits a short bring-up, an audit or a peak in debug work, while a purchase fits a lab that uses the scope every day. Either way, name the options you need, because delivered bandwidth and accessories vary by unit.

MSO68B questions
How many digital channels can the MSO68B show?
It can show up to 64 digital channels with optional compatible logic probes. Each FlexChannel is either analog or eight digital inputs.
Is the full 10 GHz bandwidth standard?
No. Bandwidth runs from 1 GHz to 10 GHz, depending on the option and the active-channel configuration.
Can I rent the probes with it?
Tell Lost in HCM which probes and logic probes you need. They quote the accessories along with the scope.
