Avnet's global distributor of electronic components products and solutions, element14, has released Tektronix' new 2-Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes ("2-Series MSO"). The next-generation 2-Series MSO delivers significant improvements in test and measurement performance, versatility and portability, enabling engineers to seamlessly detect and solve problems in the lab or in the test field.
The Tektronix 2 Series MSO is a true innovation for and for engineers for embedded design, industrial, automotive and power electronics applications. Designed for ease of use, the 2 Series MSO offers the same award-winning user interface as the Tektronix 4, 5, and 6 Series high-performance oscilloscopes. It gives new and existing users easy access to all measurement functions and quick instrument setup, enabling intuitive commissioning and critical signal verification faster than ever before.
With so many engineers and technicians working in different locations, and mixed offices becoming the norm, they desperately need high-performance test equipment that supports remote collaboration. With natively integrated software tools, the 2 Series MSO enables engineers to collaborate, troubleshoot and debug designs across time zones. It also features a TekDrive cloud-based test and measurement data workspace that allows engineers to upload, store, organize and share any file from a networked device.
The 2 Series MSO's sleek, sleek appearance and 10.1-inch high-definition touchscreen display transform the way engineers work. It can be equipped with a 50 MHz arbitrary function generator, and has built-in pattern generator, voltmeter and frequency counter functions, which means that the 2 series MSO has successfully achieved a multi-function, further reducing the number of instruments that users need to buy or carry. . Only 38mm thick and 1.8kg in weight, the 2 Series MSO is the industry's first entry-level oscilloscope that fits into a laptop bag.
Key features of the 2 Series MSO include:
• 70 MHz-500 MHz bandwidth
• Two or four analog channel inputs
• 16 digital channels (available in future software releases)
• 2.5 GS/s sample rate
• Optional 50 MHz arbitrary function generator
• Built-in pattern generator, voltmeter and frequency counter
• Optional battery with up to 8 hours of battery life
James McGregor, Global Head of Test, Tools and Production Supplies at Farnell and element14, said: “We are delighted to bring Tektronix’ new generation 2-Series MSO to our users. This high-performance, versatile portable oscilloscope is sure to appeal to designers, services Technicians and students alike. With the 2 Series MSO, engineers will be able to implement new workflows on oscilloscopes that were previously unimaginable.”
