The Tektronix MSO58LP is an 8-channel mixed-signal oscilloscope delivering 1 GHz bandwidth in a compact 2U low-profile form factor. Its FlexChannel architecture configures each input as either a single analog channel or eight digital logic inputs, enabling up to 64 total digital channels with optional logic probes. Built on the 5 Series MSO platform, the MSO58LP combines 12-bit ADC resolution with real-time sampling at 6.25 GS/s and interpolated rates to 500 GS/s, capturing >500,000 waveforms/s—or >5,000,000 waveforms/s in FastFrame segmented memory mode.
