How can I try out optional features for my 5 Series MSO before I buy them?

Question :

How can I try out optional features for my 5 Series MSO before I buy them?

Answer :

Most field upgrades for the optional features for the 5 Series MSO are also available for a one-time, 30-day free trial. These are available simply by requesting a trial software license and installing the node-locked license in the instrument.

There are free trials available for these general-purpose instrument feature upgrades:

The simplest way to find these available trial licenses is to select the Upgrades tab on the product web page https://www.tek.com/oscilloscope/5-series-mso-mixed-signal-oscilloscope and click on the Request trial license link for the free license you would like to try. You will be presented with a web page like this:
