Real-Time Oscilloscopes Set Sampling Benchmark

The DPO/DSA/MSO70000C Series digital and mixed-signal oscilloscopes now deliver 100 Gsamples/s, enabling lower noise along with increased data points on 5x oversampled 20-GHz acquisitions. Along with a two-fold increase in sampling rate compared to the B Series it replaces, the DPO/DSA/MSO70000C Series features a faster compute platform. This translates into faster processing for longer data records such as jitter, noise, BER measurements, and statistics. Boot and application start up times are also significantly faster. At 100-Gsamples/s operation, the instruments deliver up to a 20% reduction in noise compared to the 50-Gsample/s setting on the same instrument. Available now, pricing for the DPO/DSA/MSO70000C Series starts at $110,000 for a 12.5-GHz DPO71254C. TEKTRONIX INC., Beaverton, OR. (800) 426-2200.
