Tektronix at embedded world 2023

2-series MSO oscilloscope

At just 1.5” thick and weighing in at less than 4lbs, the Tektronix MSO2 oscilloscope is a full-featured, real-time touchscreen oscilloscope in a compact, portable form that has a tablet-like feel to it.

The oscilloscope has a great array of features at its disposal:

• Compact for daily debug and testing
• Touchscreen interface and controls
• Comprehensive debugging tools
• Comprehensive analysis features with fast insight
• Optional accessories to add even more versatility
• Software for sharing, collaboration, and further analysis
• Pulse generator and arbitrary waveform generator

According to Morgan, “It’s the usability that really sets the 2-series apart, the touch screen is very fluid, the user interface is very simple to learn and use, but also it’s the ability to mount it on a Visa arm which takes up very little room on your bench.”

Tektronix was also excited to demonstrate an expansion on its initial launch, the option to make the oscilloscope battery-powered. “Now with two batteries in it you can have a full eight hours worth of testing whilst even being able to hot-swap the batteries,” says Morgan.

“The battery pack available on the 2-series is a simple case of just bolting it on the back and you can be away from a power source and do the same testing,” continues Morgan.

Beyond just these features, the oscilloscope has a variety of ways to control it the device. Whilst the touch screen is handy, there are also analogue options, as well as the capability to plug in a USB mouse and use that to control it.

The MSO22 comes with a 70-500MHz bandwidth, 2 analogue channels, 16 digital channels, an up to 2.5GS/s sample rate, and 10m record length. THE MSO24 comes with a 70-500MHz bandwidth, 4 analogue channels, 16 digital channels, an up to 2.5GS/s sample rate, and 10m record length. Both are configurable.
