Tektronix intros new oscilloscope platform with breakthrough price, performance

BANGALORE, INDIA: Tektronix Inc. has announced a significant expansion of its oscilloscope offerings with the introduction of a new mixed signal oscilloscope platform, the MSO/DPO5000 Series.

Tektronix also unveiled revolutionary new TPP1000 and TPP0500 high-bandwidth and low capacitance passive voltage probes with breakthrough performance. Taken together, the new instruments and probes give embedded systems design engineers unmatched performance and analysis tools for complex component and system-level debug and validation tasks, all at highly competitive price points.

Oscilloscope models ranging from 350 MHz to 2 GHz are the single most popular segment for oscilloscopes and used to develop products for a broad range of industries and applications.

Across the board, consumer and industrial products are becoming more intelligent with more advanced embedded electronics that include many components connected by chip-to-chip buses, wired and wireless network connections, complex energy management schemes, image displays and sophisticated user interfaces.

With its latest offerings, Tektronix demonstrates its close alignment with the evolving – and more demanding – needs of design engineers.

“With ongoing economic challenges, our customers have even less time to design products than before and they must work with a growing range of applications, requiring ever more capable testing solutions,” said Roy Siegel, general manager, Mid-range Oscilloscopes, Tektronix.

“With our new oscilloscope platform we are giving engineers the analysis functionality and performance they need for many applications in one instrument, available at a low breakthrough price point. Our goal is to help our customers save time by simplifying test. And no competitor comes close to matching the performance of our new high-bandwidth and low-capacitance passive probes.”
