Agilent What is an MSO

Designs today are much more complex than they were 20 years ago. Increasing digital content brought about by the wide use of microcontrollers, DSPs, and microprocessors has added to the challenges of design verification and debug. To trace the path between initial symptom and root cause of a problem with a traditional 2- or 4-channel oscilloscope, you have to take multiple acquisitions to capture all the signals of interest — with each acquisition only taking you a tiny step of the way.



The good news is that this is a time-consuming process that can be avoided!
Why waste time doing things the old-fashioned way? Agilent's mixed signal oscilloscopes (MSOs) tightly correlate 2 or 4 analog channels with 16 logic timing channels. You can use the 16 logic timing channels to set a trigger condition, leaving the analog channels free so you can evaluate signal integrity. Logic and scope signals can be measured real-time to understand cause-and-effect relationships between signals. You can do all of this with a single, easy-to-use oscilloscope interface.



Use the oscilloscopes designed with you in mind.
Working with serial protocols in your design? Agilent's new 6000 Series MSO come standard with hardware triggering for I2C, SPI, CAN, USB, and LIN. These built-in triggering features help you accelerate the process of determining interactions between devices from a long stream of serial data.
