Tektronix MSO3032 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope

The Tektronix MSO3032 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope combines analog and digital acquisition for simultaneous analysis of embedded systems, serial interfaces, and mixed-signal designs. With 2 analog channels and 16 digital channels, it captures up to 20 correlated signals in a single view. The instrument delivers 300 MHz bandwidth, 2.5 GS/s sample rate across all channels, and 5 Megapoints record length, enabling rapid debugging and characterization of complex electronic designs.
