Feature-rich tools for debugging mixed signal

designs

Simplify and speed up debugging your complex design with feature-rich

tools including Wave Inspector

automated serial and parallel bus analysis.

Comprehensive features speed every stage of

debug

The MSO/DPO2000B 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/DPO2000B Series offers complete visualization of signals,

providing fast insight into the real operation of your device. A waveform

capture rate of 5,000 waveforms per second enables you to see glitches

and other infrequent transients quickly, 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.

Discover - A waveform capture rate of 5,000 wfm/s maximizes the probability of capturing

elusive glitches and other infrequent events.

Capture

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

event of interest to identify root cause.

The MSO/DPO2000B Series provides a complete set of triggers - including

runt, logic, pulse width/glitch, setup/hold violation, serial packet, and parallel

data - to help quickly find your event. With up to a 1 Mpoint 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/DPO2000B Series provides integrated support for a

UART. The ability to decode up to two 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 MSO2000B 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.

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.

Search

Finding your event of interest in a long waveform record can be time

consuming without the right search tools. With today's record lengths

pushing to a million data points, locating your event can mean scrolling

through thousands of screens of signal activity.

The MSO/DPO2000B Series offers the industry's most comprehensive

search and waveform navigation with its innovative Wave Inspector

®

controls. These controls speed panning and zooming through your record.

A unique force-feedback system lets you move from one end of your record

to the other in just seconds. You can mark any location you may want to

reference later for further investigation, and automatically search the record

using criteria that you define. Wave Inspector will instantly search your

entire record, including analog, digital, and serial bus data. Along the way, it

will automatically mark every occurrence of your defined event so you can

quickly move between events.

50. Wave Inspector controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing and navigating

waveform data.
