Oscilloscope

At the core of the MDO3000 Series is a world-class oscilloscope, offering

comprehensive tools that speed each stage of debug – from quickly

discovering anomalies and capturing them, to searching your waveform

record for events of interest and analyzing their characteristics and your

device’s behavior.

Digital phosphor technology with FastAcq™ high-

speed waveform capture

To debug a design problem, first you must know it exists. Every design

engineer spends time looking for problems in their design, a time-

consuming and frustrating task without the right debug tools.

Digital phosphor technology provides you with fast insight into the real

operation of your device. Its fast waveform capture rate – greater than

280,000 wfm/s with FastAcq – gives you a high probability of quickly seeing

the infrequent problems common in digital systems: runt pulses, glitches,

timing issues, and more.

To further enhance the visibility of rarely occurring events, intensity grading

is used to indicate how often rare transients are occurring relative to normal

signal characteristics. There are four waveform palettes available in

FastAcq acquisition mode.

The Temperature palette uses color-grading to indicate frequency of

occurrence with hot colors like red/yellow indicating frequently

occurring events and colder colors like blue/green indicating rarely

occurring events.

The Spectral palette uses color-grading to indicate frequency of

occurrence with colder colors like blue indicating frequently occurring

events and hot colors like red indicating rarely occurring events.

The Normal palette uses the default channel color (like yellow for

channel one) along with gray-scale to indicate frequency of occurrence

where frequently occurring events are bright.

The Inverted palette uses the default channel color along with gray-

scale to indicate frequency of occurrence where rarely occurring events

are bright.

These color palettes quickly highlight the events that over time occur more

often or, in the case of infrequent anomalies, occur less often.

Infinite or variable persistence choices determine how long waveforms stay

on the display, helping you to determine how often an anomaly is occurring.

Datasheet

Digital phosphor technology with FastAcq enables greater than 280,000 wfms/s

waveform capture rate and real-time color-intensity grading.

Triggering

Discovering a device fault is only the first step. Next, you must capture the

event of interest to identify root cause. To enable this, the MDO3000

contains over 125 trigger combinations providing a complete set of triggers

- including runt, logic, pulse width/glitch, setup and hold violation, serial

packet, and parallel data - to help quickly locate your event of interest. And

with up to a 10 M record length, you can capture many events of interest,

even thousands of serial packets, in a single acquisition for further analysis

while maintaining high resolution to zoom in on fine signal details.

Over 125 trigger combinations make capturing your event of interest easy.

Wave Inspector® waveform navigation and automated

With long record lengths, a single acquisition can include thousands of

screens of waveform data. Wave Inspector®, the industry’s best tool for

waveform navigation and automated search, enables you to find events of

interest in seconds.

Wave Inspector controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing, navigating, and

analyzing waveform data. Zip through your long record by turning the outer pan control

(1). Get details from the beginning to end in seconds. See something of interest and want

to see more details? Just turn the inner zoom control (2).

Zoom and pan

A dedicated, two-tier front-panel control provides intuitive control of both

zooming and panning. The inner control adjusts the zoom factor (or zoom

scale); turning it clockwise activates zoom and goes to progressively higher

zoom factors, while turning it counterclockwise results in lower zoom

factors and eventually turning zoom off. No longer do you need to navigate

through multiple menus to adjust your zoom view. The outer control pans

the zoom box across the waveform to quickly get to the portion of waveform

you are interested in. The outer control also utilizes force-feedback to

determine how fast to pan on the waveform. The farther you turn the outer

control, the faster the zoom box moves. Pan direction is changed by simply

turning the control the other way.

User marks

Press the Set Mark front-panel button to place one or more marks on the

waveform. Navigating between marks is as simple as pressing the

Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons on the front panel.

Search marks

The Search button allows you to automatically search through your long

acquisition looking for user-defined events. All occurrences of the event are

highlighted with search marks and are easily navigated to, using the front-

panel Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons. Search types include edge,

pulse width/glitch, timeout, runt, logic, setup and hold, rise/fall time, parallel

bus, and I2C, SPI, RS-232/422/485/UART, USB 2.0, CAN, LIN, FlexRay,

MIL-STD-1553, and Audio packet content. A search mark table provides a

tabular view of the events found during the automated search. Each event

is shown with a time stamp, making timing measurements between events

easy.

Search step 1: You define what you would like to find.

Search step 2: Wave Inspector automatically searches through the record and marks

each event with a hollow white triangle. You can then use the Previous and Next buttons

to jump from one event to the next.

Search step 3: The Search Mark table provides a tabular view of each of the events

found by the automated search. Each event is shown with a time stamp making timing

measurements between events easy.

Waveform analysis

Verifying that your prototype’s performance matches simulations and meets

the project’s design goals requires analyzing its behavior. Tasks can range

from simple checks of rise times and pulse widths to sophisticated power

loss analysis and investigation of noise sources.

The oscilloscope offers a comprehensive set of integrated analysis tools

including waveform- and screen-based cursors, automated measurements,

advanced waveform math including arbitrary equation editing, FFT

analysis, waveform histograms, and trend plots for visually determining how

a measurement is changing over time.

Automated measurement readouts provide repeatable, statistical views of waveform

characteristics.

Each measurement has help text and graphics associated with it that help explain how

the measurement is made.

Waveform histograms show visually how waveforms vary over time.

Horizontal waveform histograms are especially useful for gaining insight

into how much jitter is on a clock signal, and what the distribution of that

jitter is. Vertical histograms are especially useful for gaining insight into how

much noise is on a signal, and what the distribution of that noise is.

Measurements taken on a waveform histogram provide analytical

information about the distribution of a waveform histogram, providing

insight into just how broad a distribution is, the amount of standard

deviation, the mean value, etc.

Datasheet

time. Included are numeric measurements made on the waveform histogram data.

Video design and development

Many video engineers have remained loyal to analog oscilloscopes,

believing the intensity gradations on an analog display are the only way to

see certain video waveform details. The fast waveform capture rate of the

MDO3000, coupled with its intensity-graded view of the signal, provides the

same information-rich display as an analog oscilloscope, but with much

more detail and all the benefits of digital scopes.

Standard features such as IRE and mV graticules, holdoff by fields, video

polarity, HDTV and custom (nonstandard) video triggers, and an Autoset

smart enough to detect video signals, make these the easiest to use

oscilloscopes on the market for video applications. And with high

bandwidth, four analog inputs, and a built-in 75 Ω input termination (not

available on 1 GHz models), the oscilloscope provides ample performance

for analog and digital video use. There is even a video picture mode

enabling you to see the picture of the video signal you are viewing – for

NTSC and PAL signals.

MDO3000's ability to represent time, amplitude, and distribution over time.

contrast and brightness settings as well as manual controls.

Power analysis (optional)

Ever increasing consumer demands for longer battery-life devices and for

green solutions that consume less power require power-supply designers to

characterize and minimize switching losses to improve efficiency. In

addition, the supply’s power levels, output purity, and harmonic feedback

into the power line must be characterized to comply with national and

regional power quality standards. Historically, making these and many

other power measurements on an oscilloscope has been a long, manual,

and tedious process. The MDO3000’s optional power analysis tools greatly

simplify these tasks, enabling quick, repeatable and accurate analysis of

power quality, switching loss, harmonics, safe operating area (SOA),

modulation, ripple, and slew rate (di/dt, dv/dt). Completely integrated into

the oscilloscope, the power analysis tools provide automated, repeatable

power measurements with a touch of a button.

Power Quality measurement table. Automated power measurements enable quick and

accurate analysis of common power parameters.

Limit/Mask testing (optional)

A common task during the development process is characterizing the

behavior of certain signals in a system. One method, called limit testing, is

to compare a tested signal to a known good or "golden" version of the

same signal with user-defined vertical and horizontal tolerances. Another

common method, called mask testing, is to compare a tested signal to a

mask, looking for where a signal under test violates the mask. The

MDO3000 Series offers both limit and mask testing capability useful for

long-term signal monitoring, characterizing signals during design, or testing

on a production line. Tailor a test to your specific requirements by defining

test duration in number of waveforms or time, a violation threshold that

must be met before considering a test a failure, counting hits along with

statistical information, and actions upon violations, test failure, and test

complete. Whether specifying a mask from a known good signal or from a

custom mask, conducting pass/fail tests in search of waveform anomalies

such as glitches has never been easier.

signal. Results showing statistical information about the test are displayed.

Standard passive voltage probes

The MDO3000 Series include passive voltage probes with industry best

capacitive loading of only 3.9 pF. The included TPP probes minimize the

impact on devices under test and accurately deliver signals to the

oscilloscope for acquisition and analysis. The following table shows which

TPP probes come standard with each MDO3000 model.

TekVPI® probe interface

The TekVPI probe interface sets the standard for ease of use in probing. In

addition to the secure, reliable connection that the interface provides,

TekVPI probes feature status indicators and controls, as well as a probe

menu button right on the comp box itself. This button brings up a probe

menu on the oscilloscope display with all relevant settings and controls for

the probe. The TekVPI interface enables direct attachment of current

probes without requiring a separate power supply. TekVPI probes can be

controlled remotely through USB, GPIB, or LAN, enabling more versatile

solutions in ATE environments. The TekVPI inputs provide up to 25 W of

power to the front panel connectors from the internal power supply.

TekVPI probe interface simplifies connecting your probes to the oscilloscope.

Remote connectivity and instrument control

Exporting data and measurements is as simple as connecting a USB cable

from the oscilloscope to your PC. Key software applications –

OpenChoice® Desktop, and Microsoft Excel and Word toolbars – are

included standard with each oscilloscope to enable fast and easy direct

communication with your Windows PC.

The included OpenChoice Desktop enables fast and easy communication

between the oscilloscope and your PC through USB or LAN for transferring

settings, waveforms, and screen images.

The embedded e*Scope® capability enables fast control of the oscilloscope

over a network connection through a standard web browser. Simply enter

the IP address or network name of the oscilloscope and a web page will be

served to the browser. Transfer and save settings, waveforms,

measurements, and screen images or make live control changes to settings

on the oscilloscope directly from the web browser.

Spectrum Analyzer

The MDO3000 is the first oscilloscope in its class to include an integrated

spectrum analyzer. Each oscilloscope includes a spectrum analyzer with a

frequency range of 9 kHz up to the analog bandwidth of the instrument. The

spectrum analyzer frequency range of each instrument can be upgraded

from 9 kHz to 3 GHz (option MDO3SA), enabling spectral analysis on most

consumer wireless standards.

Fast and accurate spectral analysis

When using the spectrum analyzer input, the MDO3000 Series display

becomes a full-screen Frequency Domain view.

Key spectral parameters such as Center Frequency, Span, Reference

Level, and Resolution Bandwidth are all adjusted quickly and easily using

the dedicated front-panel menus and keypad.

Key spectral parameters are adjusted quickly with the dedicated front-panel menus and

keypad.

Intelligent, efficient markers

In a traditional spectrum analyzer, it can be a very tedious task to turn on

and place enough markers to identify all your peaks of interest. The

MDO3000 Series makes this process far more efficient by automatically

placing markers on peaks that indicate both the frequency and the

amplitude of each peak. You can adjust the criteria that the oscilloscope

uses to automatically find the peaks.

The highest amplitude peak is referred to as the reference marker and is

shown in red. Marker readouts can be switched between Absolute and

Delta readouts. When Delta is selected, marker readouts show each peak's

delta frequency and delta amplitude from the reference marker.

Two manual markers are also available for measuring non-peak portions of

the spectrum. When enabled, the reference marker is attached to one of

the manual markers, enabling delta measurements from anywhere in the

spectrum. In addition to frequency and amplitude, manual marker readouts

also include noise density and phase noise readouts depending on whether

Absolute or Delta readouts are selected. A "Reference Marker to Center"

function instantly moves the frequency indicated by the reference marker to

center frequency.

Mixed Domain Osciloscopes -- MDO3000 Series

www.tektronix.com 7

Automated peak markers identify critical information at a glance. As shown here, the five

highest amplitude peaks that meet the threshold and excursion criteria are automatically

marked along with the peak's frequency and amplitude.

Spectrogram

The MDO3000 Series includes a spectrogram display which is ideal for

monitoring slowly changing RF phenomena. The x-axis represents

frequency, just like a typical spectrum display. However, the y-axis

represents time, and color is used to indicate amplitude.

Spectrogram slices are generated by taking each spectrum and "flipping it

up on its edge" so that it's one pixel row tall, and then assigning colors to

each pixel based on the amplitude at that frequency. Cold colors (blue,

green) are low amplitude and hotter colors (yellow, red) are higher

amplitude. Each new acquisition adds another slice at the bottom of the

spectrogram and the history moves up one row. When acquisitions are

stopped, you can scroll back through the spectrogram to look at any

individual spectrum slice.

Spectrogram display illustrates slowly moving RF phenomena. As shown here, a signal

that has multiple peaks is being monitored. As the peaks change in both frequency and

amplitude over time, the changes are easily seen in the Spectrogram display.

Ultra-wide capture bandwidth

Today's wireless communications vary significantly with time, using

sophisticated digital modulation schemes and, often, transmission

techniques that involve bursting the output. These modulation schemes can

have very wide bandwidth as well. Traditional swept or stepped spectrum

analyzers are ill equipped to view these types of signals as they are only

able to look at a small portion of the spectrum at any one time.

The amount of spectrum acquired in one acquisition is called the capture

bandwidth. Traditional spectrum analyzers sweep or step the capture

bandwidth through the desired span to build the requested image. As a

result, while the spectrum analyzer is acquiring one portion of the spectrum,

the event you care about may be happening in another portion of the

spectrum. Most spectrum analyzers on the market today have 10 MHz

capture bandwidths, sometimes with expensive options to extend that to

20, 40, or even 160 MHz in some cases.

In order to address the bandwidth requirements of modern RF, the

MDO3000 Series provides up to 3 GHz of capture bandwidth. The

spectrum is generated from a single acquisition, thus guaranteeing you'll

see the events you're looking for in the frequency domain.

900 MHz and out of the device through Bluetooth at 2.4 GHz, captured with a single

acquisition.

Spectrum traces

The MDO3000 Series spectrum analyzer offers four different traces or

views including Normal, Average, Max Hold, and Min Hold.

Datasheet

8 www.tektronix.com

Normal, Average, Max Hold, and Min Hold spectrum traces

RF measurements

The MDO3000 Series includes three automated RF measurements -

Channel Power, Adjacent Channel Power Ratio, and Occupied Bandwidth.

When one of these RF measurements is activated, the oscilloscope

automatically turns on the Average spectrum trace and sets the detection

method to Average for optimal measurement results.

Automated Channel Power measurement

Advanced RF analysis

The MDO3000 can save the baseband I and Q data from spectrum

analyzer acquisitions to a .TIQ file. These files can then be imported into

Tektronix SignalVu-PC software for general purpose modulation and pulse

analysis or RSAVu for analysis of commercial wireless standards.

RF probing

Signal input methods on spectrum analyzers are typically limited to cabled

connections or antennas. But with the optional TPA-N-VPI adapter, any

active, 50 Ω TekVPI probe can be used with the spectrum analyzer on the

MDO3000 Series. This enables additional flexibility when hunting for noise

sources and enables easier spectral analysis by using true signal browsing

on a spectrum analyzer input.

In addition, an optional preamplifier accessory assists in the investigation of

lower-amplitude signals. The TPA-N-PRE preamplifier provides 10 dB

nominal gain across the 9 kHz – 3 GHz frequency range.

The optional TPA-N-VPI adapter enables any active, 50 Ω TekVPI probe to be

connected to the RF input.

Arbitrary Function Generator (optional)

The MDO3000 contains an optional integrated arbitrary function generator

(option MDO3AFG), perfect for simulating sensor signals within a design or

adding noise to signals to perform margin testing.

The integrated function generator provides output of predefined waveforms

up to 50 MHz for sine, square, pulse, ramp/triangle, DC, noise, sin(x)/x

(Sinc), Gaussian, Lorentz, exponential rise/fall, Haversine and cardiac.

The arbitrary waveform generator provides 128 k points of record for

storing waveforms from the analog input, a saved internal file location, a

USB mass storage device, or from an external PC. Once a waveform is in

the edit memory of the arbitrary waveform generator, it can be modified via

an on-screen editor and then replicated out of the generator. The

MDO3000 is compatible with Tektronix’ ArbExpress PC-based waveform

creation and editing software, making creation of complex waveforms fast

and easy. Transfer waveform files to your MDO3000 edit memory via USB

or LAN or using a USB mass storage device to be output from the AFG in

the oscilloscope.

Logic Analyzer (optional)

The logic analyzer (option MDO3MSO) provides 16 digital channels which

are tightly integrated into the oscilloscope's user interface. This simplifies

operation and makes it possible to solve mixed-signal issues easily.

The MDO3000 with MDO3MSO option provides 16 integrated digital channels enabling

you to view and analyze time-correlated analog and digital signals.

Color-coded digital waveform display

Color-coded digital traces display ones in green and zeros in blue. This

coloring is also used in the digital channel monitor. The monitor shows if

signals are high, low, or are transitioning so you can see channel activity at

a glance without having to clutter your display with unneeded digital

waveforms.

The multiple transition detection hardware shows you a white edge on the

display when the system detects multiple transitions. White edges indicate

that more information is available by zooming in or acquiring at faster

sampling rates. In most cases zooming in will reveal the pulse that was not

viewable with the previous settings. If the white edge is still present after

zooming in as far as possible, this indicates that increasing the sample rate

on the next acquisition will reveal higher frequency information than the

previous settings could acquire.

You can group digital waveforms and enter waveform labels by using a

USB keyboard. By simply placing digital waveforms next to each other, they

form a group.

With color-coded digital waveform display, groups are created by simply placing digital

channels together on the screen, allowing digital channels to be moved as a group.

Once a group is formed, you can position all the channels contained in that

group collectively. This greatly reduces the normal setup time associated

with positioning channels individually

MagniVu™ high-speed acquisition

The main digital acquisition mode on the MDO3000 Series will capture up

to 10 M at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main record, the

MDO3000 provides an ultra high-resolution record called MagniVu which

acquires 10,000 points at up to 8.25 GS/s (121.2 ps resolution). Both main

and MagniVu waveforms are acquired on every trigger and can be switched

between in the display at any time, running or stopped. MagniVu provides

significantly finer timing resolution than comparable oscilloscopes on the

market, instilling confidence when making critical timing measurements on

digital waveforms.

Datasheet

10 www.tektronix.com

The MagniVu high-resolution record provides 121.2 ps timing resolution, enabling you to

take critical timing measurements on your digital waveforms.

P6316 MSO probe

This unique probe design offers two eight-channel pods, simplifying the

process of connecting to the device-under-test. When connecting to square

pins, the P6316 can connect directly to 8×2 square pin headers spaced on

tenth-inch centers. When more attachment flexibility is required, you can

use the included flying lead sets and grabbers to clip onto surface mount

devices or test points. The P6316 offers outstanding electrical

characteristics applying only 8 pF of capacitive loading with 101 kΩ input

impedance.

The P6316 MSO probe offers two eight-channel pods to simplify connecting to your

device.

Serial Protocol Triggering and Analysis

(optional)

On a serial bus, a single signal often includes address, control, data, and

clock information. This can make isolating events of interest difficult.

Automatic trigger, decode, and search on bus events and conditions gives

you a robust set of tools for debugging serial buses.

Triggering on a specific address and data packet going across an I2C bus. The yellow

waveform is clock and the blue waveform is the data. A bus waveform provides decoded

packet content including Start, Address, Read/Write, Data, and Stop.

Serial triggering

Trigger on packet content such as start of packet, specific addresses,

specific data content, unique identifiers, etc. on popular serial interfaces

such as I2C, SPI, RS-232/422/485/UART, USB2.0, CAN, LIN, FlexRay,

MIL-STD-1553, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM.

Bus display

Provides a higher-level, combined view of the individual signals (clock,

data, chip enable, etc.) that make up your bus, making it easy to identify

where packets begin and end and identifying sub-packet components such

as address, data, identifier, CRC, etc.

Bus decoding

Tired of having to visually inspect the waveform to count clocks, determine

if each bit is a 1 or a 0, combine bits into bytes, and determine the hex

value? Let the oscilloscope do it for you! Once you’ve set up a bus, the

MDO3000 Series will decode each packet on the bus, and display the value

in hex, binary, decimal (USB, LIN, FlexRay, and MIL-STD-1553 only),

signed decimal (I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM only), or ASCII (USB, MIL-STD-1553 and

RS-232/422/485/UART only) in the bus waveform.

Event table

In addition to seeing decoded packet data on the bus waveform itself, you

can view all captured packets in a tabular view much like you would see in

a software listing. Packets are time stamped and listed consecutively with

columns for each component (Address, Data, etc.). You can save the event

table data in .CSV format.

long acquisition.

Search (serial triggering)

Serial triggering is very useful for isolating the event of interest, but once

you’ve captured it and need to analyze the surrounding data, what do you

do? In the past, users had to manually scroll through the waveform

counting and converting bits and looking for what caused the event. You

can have the oscilloscope automatically search through the acquired data

for user-defined criteria including serial packet content. Each occurrence is

highlighted by a search mark. Rapid navigation between marks is as simple

as pressing the Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons on the front panel.

Digital Voltmeter (DVM) and Frequency

Counter

The MDO3000 contains an integrated 4-digit digital voltmeter (DVM) and 5-

digit frequency counter. Any of the analog inputs can be a source for the

voltmeter, using the same probes that are already attached for general

oscilloscope usage. The easy-to-read display offers you both numeric and

graphical representations of the changing measurement values. The

display also shows minimum, maximum, and average values of the

measurement as well as the range of values measured over the previous

five second interval. The DVM and frequency counter is available on any

MDO3000 and is activated when you register your product.

A DC measurement value is shown with a five second variation along with minimum,

maximum, and average voltage values. The frequency of the waveform is also shown.

the instrument to a network, directly to a PC, or other test equipment.

Front and rear USB host ports enable easy transfer of screen shots,

instrument settings, and waveform data to a USB mass storage device.

A USB keyboard can also be attached to a USB host port for data

entry.

Rear USB device port is useful for controlling the oscilloscope remotely

from a PC or for printing directly to a PictBridge®-compatible printer.

The standard 10/100 Ethernet port on the rear of the instrument

enables easy connection to networks, provides network and e-mail

printing, and provides LXI Core 2011 compatibility.

A video out port on the rear of the instrument allows the display to be

exported to an external monitor or projector.

Compact form factor

With the compact, portable form factor, you can easily move the

oscilloscope between labs. And with a depth of just 5.8 inches (147 mm), it

saves you valuable space on your test bench. The MDO3000 has all the

tools you'll need for everyday debug tasks, all in a single instrument.

The MDO3000 Series compact form factor frees up valuable space on your bench or

desktop while making sure you will always have the debug tools you need.

Step 3: Select application models and accessories

Application modules Application modules are purchased as stand-alone products and can be purchased at the time of initial MDO3000 purchase or at

any future time.

Application modules have licenses which can be transferred between an application module and an oscilloscope. The license may

be contained in the module; allowing the module to be moved from one instrument to another. Or, the license can be contained in

the oscilloscope; allowing the module to be removed and stored for safekeeping. The license can be transferred back to the

module for use in another MDO3000 oscilloscope. Transferring the license to an oscilloscope and removing the module permits

the use of more than two applications simultaneously.
