Data Sheet
Discover – Fast waveform capture rate - over 50,000 wfm/s - maximizes the probability
of capturing elusive glitches and other infrequent events.
Comprehensive Features Speed Every Stage
of Debug
The MSO/DPO4000B Series offers a robust set of features to speed every
stage of debugging your design – from quickly discovering an anomaly and
capturing it, to searching your waveform record for the event and analyzing
its characteristics and your device's behavior.
Discover
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.
The MSO/DPO4000B Series offers the industry's most complete
visualization of signals, providing fast insight into the real operation of your
device. A fast waveform capture rate - greater than 50,000 waveforms
per second - enables you to see glitches and other infrequent transients
within seconds, revealing the true nature of device faults. A digital phosphor
display with intensity grading shows the history of a signal's activity by
intensifying areas of the signal that occur more frequently, providing a visual
display of just how often anomalies occur.
Capture – Triggering on a specific transmit data packet going across an RS-232 bus. A
complete set of triggers, including triggers for specific serial packet content, ensures you
quickly capture your event of interest.
Capture
Discovering a device fault is only the first step. Next, you must capture the
event of interest to identify root cause.
Accurately capturing any signal of interest begins with proper probing. The
MSO/DPO4000B Series includes four low-capacitance probes for accurate
signal capture. These industry-first high-impedance passive voltage probes
have less than 4 pF of capacitive loading to minimize the affect of the probe
on your circuit's operation, offering the performance of an active probe with
the flexibility of a passive probe.
The MSO/DPO4000B Series provides a complete set of triggers – including
runt, timeout, logic, pulse width/glitch, setup/hold violation, serial packet,
and parallel data – to help quickly find your event. With up to a 20M point
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.
From triggering on specific packet content to automatic decode in
multiple data formats, the MSO/DPO4000B Series provides integrated
support for the industry's broadest range of serial buses – I2C, SPI, USB,
Ethernet, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-STD-1553, and
I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM. The ability to decode up to four serial and/or parallel buses
simultaneously means you gain insight into system-level problems quickly.
To further help troubleshoot system-level interactions in complex embedded
systems, the MSO4000B Series offers 16 digital channels in addition to
its analog channels. Since the digital channels are fully integrated into
the oscilloscope, you can trigger across all input channels, automatically
time correlating all analog, digital, and serial signals. The MagniVu™
high-speed acquisition enables you to acquire fine signal detail (up to
60.6 ps resolution) around the trigger point for precision measurements.
MagniVu is essential for making accurate timing measurements for setup
and hold, clock delay, signal skew, and glitch characterization.

Data Sheet
Wave Inspector controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing, navigating, and
analyzing waveform data. Zip through your 20M point record by turning the outer pan
control (1). Get from the beginning to end in seconds. See something of interest and want
to see more details? Just turn the inner zoom control (2).
Wave Inspector®Navigation and Search
A 20M point record length represents thousands of screens of information.
The MSO/DPO4000B Series enables you to find your event in seconds with
Wave Inspector, the industry's best tool for navigation and search.
Wave Inspector offers the following innovative controls:
Zoom/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.
Play/Pause
A dedicated Play/Pause front-panel button scrolls the waveform across the
display automatically while you look for anomalies or an event of interest.
Playback speed and direction are controlled using the intuitive pan control.
Once again, turning the control further makes the waveform scroll faster and
changing direction is as simple as turning the control the other way.
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.
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 (←)andNext (→) 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, USB, Ethernet, CAN, LIN, FlexRay,
RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-STD-1553, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM packet content.

Digital phosphor technology enables greater than 50,000 wfm/s waveform capture rate
and real-time intensity grading on the MSO/DPO4000B Series.
Digital Phosphor Technology
The MSO/DPO4000B Series' digital phosphor technology provides you with
fast insight into the real operation of your device. Its fast waveform capture
rate - greater than 50,000 wfm/s - gives you a high probability of quickly
seeing the infrequent problems common in digital systems: runt pulses,
glitches, timing issues, and more.
Waveforms are superimposed with one another and waveform points that
occur more frequently are intensified. This quickly highlights the events
that over time occur more often or, in the case of infrequent anomalies,
occur less often.
With the MSO/DPO4000B Series, you can choose infinite persistence or
variable persistence (including zero persistence), determining how long
the previous waveform acquisitions stay on-screen. This allows you to
determine how often an anomaly is occurring.
Accurate High-speed Probing
The TPP Series probes, included standard with every MSO/DPO4000B
Series oscilloscope, provide up to 1 GHz of analog bandwidth, and less
than 4 pF of capacitive loading. The extremely low capacitive loading
minimizes adverse affects on your circuits and is more forgiving of longer
ground leads. And, since the probe bandwidth matches your oscilloscope
bandwidth, you can see the high-frequency components in your signal
which is critical for high-speed applications. The TPP Series passive
voltage probes offer all the benefits of general-purpose probes like high
dynamic range, flexible connection options, and robust mechanical design,
while providing the performance of active probes.
Mixed Signal Design and Analysis
(MSO Series)
The MSO4000B Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes provide 16 digital
channels. These channels are tightly integrated into the oscilloscope's user
The MSO Series provides 16 integrated digital channels enabling you to view and analyze
time-correlated analog and digital signals.
With the color-coded digital waveform display, groups are created by simply placing digital
channels together on the screen, allowing the digital channels to be moved as a group.
You can set threshold values for each channel, enabling support for up to 16 different
logic families.
interface, simplifying operation and making it possible to solve mixed-signal
issues easily.
Color-coded Digital Waveform Display
The MSO4000B Series has redefined the way you view digital waveforms.
One common problem shared by both logic analyzers and mixed signal
oscilloscopes is determining if data is a one or a zero when zoomed in far
enough that the digital trace stays flat all the way across the display. The
MSO4000B Series has color-coded digital traces, displaying ones in green
and zeros in blue.

Data Sheet
White edges indicate additional information is available by zooming in. As shown here,
zooming in on the white edge reveals a hidden glitch.
The MagniVu high-resolution record provides 60.6 ps timing resolution, enabling you to
make critical timing measurements on your digital waveforms.
The multiple transition detection hardware of the MSO4000B Series will
show 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.
The P6616 MSO probe offers two eight-channel pods to simplify connecting to your
device.
The MSO4000B Series simplifies channel setup by allowing you to 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.
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 MSO4000B Series will capture
up to 20M points at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main
record, the MSO4000B Series provides an ultra high-resolution record
called MagniVu which acquires 10,000 points at up to 16.5 GS/s (60.6 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 MSOs on the market, instilling confidence when making critical
timing measurements on digital waveforms.
P6616 MSO Probe
This unique probe design offers two eight-channel pods. Each channel ends
with a probe tip featuring a recessed ground for simplified connection to the
device under test. The coax on the first channel of each pod is colored blue
making it easy to identify. The common ground uses an automotive-style
connector making it easy to create custom grounds for connecting to
the device under test. When connecting to square pins, the P6616 has
an adapter that attaches to the probe head extending the probe ground
flush with the probe tip so you can attach to a header. The P6616 offers
outstanding electrical characteristics, having only 3 pF of capacitive loading,
a 100 kΩinput resistance, and capable of acquiring toggle rates >500 MHz
and pulses as short as 1 ns in duration.

Triggeringonaspecific OUT Token packet on a USB full-speed serial bus. The yellow
waveform is the D+ and the blue waveform is the D–. A bus waveform provides decoded
packet content including Start, Sync, PID, Address, End Point, CRC, Data values, and
Stop.
Serial 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. The
MSO/DPO4000B Series offers a robust set of tools for debugging serial
buses with automatic trigger, decode, and search for I2C, SPI, USB,
Ethernet, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-STD-1553, and
I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM.
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, USB, Ethernet, CAN, LIN, FlexRay,
RS-232/422/485/UART, 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 subpacket components such as
address, data, identifier, CRC, etc.
Event table showing decoded Identifier, DLC, DATA, and CRC for every CAN packet in
alongacqu
isition.
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
MSO/DPO4000B Series will decode each packet on the bus, and display
the value in hex, binary, decimal (USB, Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553, LIN,
and FlexRay only), signed decimal (I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM only), or ASCII (USB,
Ethernet, 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 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.). Event table data can be
saved to .csv format.
Search
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. With
the MSO/DPO4000B Series, 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.

Data Sheet
Safe operating area measurement. Automated power measurements enable quick and
accurate analysis of common power parameters.
Limit Test showing a mask created from a golden waveform and compared against a live
signal. Results showing statistical information about the test are displayed.
Power Analysis (Optional)
Ever increasing consumer demand 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 MSO/DPO4000B Series optional power analysis
tools greatly simplify these tasks, enabling quick 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; no external PC or complex
software setup is required.
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
MSO/DPO4000B Series offers both limit and mask testing capability useful
for long-term signal monitoring, characterizing signals during design, or
testing on a production line. A robust set of telecommunications and
computer standards are provided to test for compliance to a standard.
Additionally, custom masks can be created and used for characterizing
signals. Tailor a test to your specificrequirementsbydefining 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 or
standard mask, conducting pass/fail tests in search of waveform anomalies
such as glitches has never been easier.
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 MSO/DPO4000B Series fast
waveform capture rate, 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 oscilloscopes.
Standard features such as IRE and mV graticules, holdoff by fields, video
polarity, and an Autoset smart enough to detect video signals, make the
MSO/DPO4000B Series the easiest to use oscilloscope on the market for
video applications. And with up to a 1 GHz bandwidth and four analog
inputs, the MSO/DPO4000B Series provides ample performance for analog
and digital video use.
The MSO/DPO4000B Series video functionality is further extended with
the optional DPO4VID video application module. DPO4VID provides the
industry's most complete suite of HDTV and custom (nonstandard) video
triggers.
