Tektronix 2-ULTIMATE - Option Bundle with 2-SOURCE and 2-SERIAL for 2 Series Oscilloscopes
The Tektronix 2-ULTIMATE is a software bundle for 2 Series oscilloscopes. It contains two options:
- 2-SOURCE - 50 MHz arbitrary function generator
- 2-SERIAL - Serial trigger and analysis (I2C, SPI, RS-232/422/485/UART, CAN, CAN FD, LIN, SENT)
2-SOURCE
The Tektronix 2-SOURCE is a 50 MHz arbitrary function generator option for Tektronix 2 series oscilloscopes.
This option is perfect for simulating sensor signals within a design or adding noise to signals to perform margin testing. The AFG output is multiplexed with the Aux out signal.
Several predefined waveforms including sine, square, pulse, ramp/triangle, DC, noise, sin(x)/x (Sinc), gaussian, Lorentz, exponential rise/fall, Haversine, and cardiac are included.
The arbitrary waveform generator provides 128k points of record for loading waveforms captured on the analog input, a saved file.
2-SERIAL
The Tektronix 2-SERIAL is the serial trigger and analysis option for 2 Series oscilloscopes. It is a robust set of tools for working with the most common serial buses found in embedded design including I2C, SPI, RS-232/422/485/UART, CAN, CAN FD, LIN, SENT.
The protocol decode and triggering capability is invaluable to trace the flow of activity through a system by observing the traffic on one or more serial buses.
- Serial protocol triggering lets you trigger on specific packet content including start of packet, specific addresses, specific data content, unique identifiers, and errors.
- Bus waveforms provide a higher-level, combined view of the individual signals (for example clock, data, chip enable, etc.) that make up your bus, making it easy to identify where packets begin and end, and identifying sub-packet components such as an address, data, identifier, CRC, and so on.
- The bus waveform is time-aligned with all other displayed signals, making it easy to measure timing relationships across various parts of the system under test.
- Bus decode table provides a tabular view of all decoded packets in an acquisition. Packets are time stamped and listed consecutively with columns for each component (address, data, and so on).
