The 4 Series MSO introduced a new approach to 4-class mixed signal oscilloscopes when it first released in 2019. With its innovative made-for-touch user interface and high-definition display, it brought the user experience of the acclaimed 5 Series MSO to a broader audience and with a smaller bench footprint. The 4 Series won an Electronics Products Product of the Year award in that same year, and …

Customer-Driven Improvements in the New 5 Series B MSO Deliver an Even Better User Experience and More Capabilities
Oscilloscopes are among the most important tools in the electronics industry. So, it’s not surprising that the choice of a specific oscilloscope by an engineer can be a deeply personal matter. And engineers, by their nature, are full of ideas for improvement. Since the release of …
The Tektronix 5 Series MSO really changed the professional oscilloscope playing field with its large high-definition display, 6 and 8 channel models paired with an intuitive user interface that was designed from the ground up to incorporate touch interactions (pinch zoom, double tap, etc). The 6 Series incorporated these same features with higher bandwidth and improved performance.

How Spectrum View Outperforms Traditional Oscilloscope FFTs with Tighter Frequency Resolution Over Wider Ranges
Debugging embedded systems often involves looking for clues that are hard to discover just by looking at one domain at a time. The ability to view time and frequency domains simultaneously can enable you to measure a power rail’s voltage during wireless transmissions or observe nearfield …
Switching Losses Matter Even in the New SiC and GaN World
As GaN and SiC enable smaller, faster, and more efficient semiconductor designs, regulatory and economic pressures are driving new demands for energy efficiency in power electronics. Minimizing switching losses through design optimization is paramount in maintaining power efficiency throughout the generation, transmission, and consumption …
The Top 6 Serial Bus Decode Packages on Tektronix Oscilloscopes
I recently took a look at which bus decode packages engineers are choosing for their scopes. I thought I would share what I learned in case it helps people predict which bus support they will need. In addition to a few thoughts on each of the most popular buses, you will find links to app notes on many of them. For this post I looked …
One of the biggest challenges power electronic designers face is connecting probes to circuit boards, maintaining both electrical and mechanical integrity. As components and modules continue to become smaller and smaller, the connectivity challenge will only become more difficult. How will you face this challenge? This blog will explore some of the current challenges in connectivity and some …
