Tektronix MSO2002B Mixed Signal Oscilloscope

The Tektronix MSO2002B is a mixed-signal oscilloscope that combines 2 analog and 16 digital channels for simultaneous acquisition and analysis of complex electronic designs. With 70 MHz bandwidth, 1 GS/s sample rate across all channels, and 1 Megapoint record length, it captures high-speed transients and anomalies at up to 5,000 waveforms per second. The instrument integrates advanced triggering, serial/parallel protocol decode, automated measurements, and waveform search to accelerate design verification and fault isolation.
