Mask testing

The optional mask test (Option MTM) software package is useful for long-

term signal monitoring, characterizing signals during design, and production

line testing. The mask test software includes a robust set of masks for

telecommunications and computer standards for easily checking

compliance to a standard. Additionally, custom masks can be created and

used for characterizing signals. With mask testing you can tailor a test to

your specific requirements by defining test duration in a number of

waveforms, setting a violation threshold that must be met before

considering a test a failure, counting hits with statistical information, and

setting actions upon violations, test failure, and test complete.

Designed to make your work easier

Large, high-resolution touchscreen display

The MSO/DPO5000B Series features a 10.4 in. (264 mm) XGA color

display with an integrated touch screen for seeing intricate signal details.

High resolution display quality with touch screen, mouse and stylus operation.

Dedicated front panel controls

Per-channel vertical controls provide simple and intuitive operation. No

longer do you need to share one set of vertical controls across all four

channels.

Floating licenses

Floating licenses offer an alternative method to manage your Tektronix

asset. Floating licenses allow license-key enabled options to be easily

moved among all your MSO/DPO5000, DPO7000, and DPO/DSA/

MSO70000 Series of Tektronix oscilloscopes. Floating licenses are

available for many license-key enabled options. To order a floating version

of an option license add “DPOFL-“ prefix to the option name. (e.g. DPOFL-

ET3)

options.

Easy data storage

Two USB 2.0 host ports on the front panel enable easy transfer of

screenshots, instrument settings, and waveform data to a USB flash drive.

The rear panel contains four additional USB 2.0 host ports and a USB

device port for controlling the oscilloscope remotely from a PC or for

connecting USB peripherals. An integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet

port enables easy connection to networks and a Video Out port to drive an

external monitor or projector. A standard ≥ 480 GB removable solid state

disk drive makes customizing settings for different users easy and enables

use in secure environments.

Connectivity and remote operation

There are many ways to connect to your MSO/DPO5000B Series

oscilloscope to conduct extended analysis. The first makes use of the

Windows Remote Desktop capability – connect directly to your oscilloscope

and operate the user interface remotely through the built-in Remote

software which makes use of the fast embedded bus, transferring

waveform data directly from acquisition to analysis applications on the

Windows desktop at much faster speeds than conventional GPIB transfers.

controls are included for using and enhancing Windows applications for

data analysis and documentation. IVI-COM instrument drivers are included

to enable easy communication with the oscilloscope using GPIB, serial

data, and LAN connections from programs running on the instrument or an

external PC. Or, use the Software Developer's Kit (SDK) to help create

custom software to automate multistep processes in waveform collection

and analysis with Visual BASIC, C, C++, MATLAB, LabVIEW,

LabWindows/CVI, and other common Application Development

simplify data capture and transfer directly to these programs running on the

Windows desktop.
