MSO-19 USB 2GSa/s Oscilloscope, 200MSa/s Logic Analyzer, 100MSa/s Pattern Generator and TDR

MSO-19 USB 2GSa/s Oscilloscope, 200MSa/s Logic Analyzer, 100MSa/s Pattern Generator and TDRThe MSO-19 is a portable USB based 2GSa/s Oscilloscope, 200MSa/s Logic Analyzer, 100MSa/s Pattern Generator and TDR. All channels sample simultaneously at a max rate of 200MSa/s (5ns), includes probe, clips, wires and software. The device works with Windows XP/Vista/7/8. 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.

The MSO-19 can trigger on the Oscilloscope, Logic Analyzer, SPI or I2C inputs. Since all of the 9 inputs sample at the same time you will see a fully synchronized display of all the digital and analog inputs. Oscilloscope trigger: Rising edge, falling edge and pulse width. Logic Analyzer trigger: 8 bit trigger word, SPI trigger: 32 bit trigger word, I2c trigger: 32 bit trigger word. 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 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. 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...
