Tektronix MDO4000C Mixed Domain Oscilloscope Series

The Tektronix MDO4000C Mixed Domain Oscilloscope is a sophisticated component-testing instrument paired with an expandable platform and customizable to testing needs. Commonly used to design and debug, EMI troubleshooting, and general purpose RF design and integration, the Tektronix MDO4000C Series offers models with analog bandwidths of 200 MHz, 350 MHz, 500 MHz and1 GHz. To tackle complex design challenges, utilize the 16 logic channels, 50 MHz arbitrary/function generator, protocol analysis, and integrated true hardware 3 or 6 GHz spectrum analyzer. See the real-time effects of time domain signals on system EMI emissions. Discover the true behavior of a wireless setup with the complete system view the MDO4000C provides through analog, digital and RF data time-synchronized to understand its true behavior. For issues with managing multiple instruments on a bench, the MDO4000C eliminates the need to manage various devices at once with its 6-instruments-in-1 capability. Digital phosphor technology with FastAcq provides you with fast insight into the real operation of your device. Its fast waveform capture rate – greater than 340,000 wfms/s - gives you a high probability of quickly seeing the infrequent problems common in digital systems: runt pulses, glitches, timing issues, and more. To further enhance the visibility of rarely occurring events, intensity grading is used to indicate how often rare transients are occurring relative to normal signal characteristics.

The MDO4000C Series presents data in a variety of formats, its interface featuring four waveform palettes available in FastAcq acquisition mode. The Temperature palette uses color-grading to indicate frequency of occurrence with hot colors like red/yellow indicating frequently occurring events and colder colors like blue/green indicating rarely occurring events. The Spectral palette uses color-grading to indicate frequency of occurrence with colder colors like blue indicating frequently occurring events and hot colors like red indicating rarely occurring events. The Normal palette uses the default channel color (like yellow for channel one) along with gray-scale to indicate frequency of occurrence where frequently occurring events are bright. The Inverted palette uses the default channel color along with grayscale to indicate frequency of occurrence where rarely occurring events are bright. These color palettes quickly highlight the events that over time occur more often or, in the case of infrequent anomalies, occur less often. Infinite or variable persistence choices determine how long waveforms stay on the display, helping you to determine how often an anomaly is occurring. Updated from the MDO4000B Series, the Tektronix MDO4000C models possess a spectrum analyzer, logic analyzer and protocol analyzer, as well as the new addition of the arbitrary/function generator.

The Tektronix MDO4000C Series includes the MDO4024C, MDO4034C, MDO4054C and MDO4104C models.
