The Tektronix MSO54 is a mixed-signal oscilloscope that combines analog and digital measurement capabilities in a single instrument. It delivers 4 FlexChannel inputs with configurable bandwidth from 350 MHz to 2 GHz, real-time sampling at 6.25 GS/s, and 12-bit vertical resolution (up to 16-bit in High-Res mode). The instrument captures waveforms at rates exceeding 500,000 per second and supports up to 32 digital logic channels via optional logic probes. Its 15.6-inch HD touchscreen and extensive trigger, measurement, and analysis tools enable rapid characterization of embedded systems, power electronics, and complex signal environments.
