Tektronix MSO70804C

The DPO/DSA/MSO70000 Series is the most accurate real-time performance oscilloscope on the market. Discover critical signal information with a 4 channel system bandwidth of 20 GHz combined with the highest waveform capture capability for low noise, high margin visibility. Capture accurately using the only available hardware-based serial pattern trigger for data rates up to 6.25 Gb/s. Increase system visibility using the MSO70000 models which include 16 logic channels with a very accurate 80psec timing resolution. The MSO70000C combines the signal visibility and timing features of a high performance logic analyzer with the analog precision, probing and usability of a high performance real-time oscilloscope. This makes it the ideal debug and verification tool for such demanding high-speed design applications as DDR memory, high performance ASICs, FPGAs, system-on-a-chip devices, and digital RF.
