The Tektronix DPO71304SX is a high-performance Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope engineered for signal integrity analysis in high-speed digital designs, serial communications, and advanced research applications. Configurable bandwidth options from 13 GHz to 33 GHz deliver real-time acquisition up to 100 GS/s, supported by Asynchronous Time Interleaving (ATI) architecture for low-noise signal capture extending to 70 GHz. The instrument combines hardware serial triggering at 14.1 Gbps, integrated bit error detection, and FastAcq® mode exceeding 250,000 waveforms/second to isolate infrequent anomalies. Digital Phosphor (DPX®) technology provides real-time color grading for waveform density visualization, while UltraSync multi-unit synchronization enables skew stability of ≤250 fsRMS in scaled systems.
