USB Oscilloscope

The MSO-19 has time synchronized oscilloscope and logic analyzer inputs. All 9 channels are sampled at the same time and are displayed together. This is better than separate instruments because the analog and digital waveforms are acquired with the same sample clock assuring accurate time correlation between the two. Even if you went through the effort of cabling two individual instruments together, you would not be able to get the samples to within 5 ns of each other, nor would the triggering be so tightly coupled. Since the software displays the oscilloscope and logic analyzer data on the same screen it stays synchronized no matter how you scroll or zoom.


This is a powerful test instrument that includes a 200MSa/s (two hundred mega-samples per second) oscilloscope, 200MSa/s logic analyzer, 100MSa/s function generator, a TDR, and comes in a very small portable package. It connects to your computer via USB and is powered by USB. All channels sample simultaneously at a max rate of 200MSa/s (5ns).

Triggering options include:

  - Trigger level rising edge
  - Trigger level falling edge

  - Output controlled by MSO trigger (Analog, digital or serial)
  - Variable pattern length
  - Independent pattern clock rate
  - Built in data creation wizard and option to load data files



Package includes:

  - MSO-19.2 Logic Analyzer

  - x1/x10 probe with hook test attachment

  - 8 pin wiring harness with ground cables
  - EZ Hook test probes
  - mini B to A USB cable



Cross Triggering

The MSO-19 can trigger on a signal in either the digital or analog domain. In the analog domain, triggering can be straight forward rising and falling edge or further qualified by pulse width and pulse count. Glitches can be detected using pulse width triggering. Digital domain triggering can use a 8 bit wide digital word or by using the advanced serial trigger( I2C and SPI bus protocols).

 

Pattern Generator

The 100Mpt/S pattern generator has many features not found on other pattern generators.  Since it has shared pins with the Logic Analyzer the pattern data can be tri-stated to create bidirectional bus signals.  The PG also runs on an independent clock from the logic analyzer, hence you can create a slow signal and analyze the response at a much faster sampling rate.  The pattern buffer length is adjustable and can be looped to create complex patterns.  The PG can start manually or be synchronized with the MSO trigger inputs.

 

High speed sampling

High speed sampling is key to getting a good capture.  The 200MSa single shot sample rate and 60MHz bandwidth will allow you see a great picture of a 60MHz signal in single shot mode and an even faster one if you use RIS mode sampling.

 

Spectrum Analyzer/FFT
The FFT Spectrum Analyzer has controls for FFT window, FFT type, FFT resolution. The software also supports averaging, memory and plot subtraction.  This allows for a whole range of spectral analysis including: Frequency response analysis, Power supply noise analysis, etc...
Maximum FFT frequency analysis speed of 100 MHz  (with 3dB roll-off at 60MHz).
FFT data can be saved to disk and exported to other programs such as Excel, Mathcad, etc....

 

Waveform Measurements
Standard waveform measurements are included and can be displayed on the screen right next to the traces.

 

SPI and I2C decoding

Display and decode SPI and I2C serial bus protocols as well as trigger on them.SPI and I2C signals can also be viewed as timing waveforms and statelist style display.

 

Simple Operation
