The Tektronix MSO66B 6 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope delivers high-fidelity signal capture and analysis for complex embedded systems, power electronics, and advanced digital designs. This instrument combines configurable analog bandwidth from 1 GHz to 10 GHz with real-time sample rates up to 50 GS/s on two channels, enabling detailed characterization of high-speed signals. Six FlexChannel inputs provide exceptional flexibility—each channel operates as either a single analog input or eight digital logic channels, supporting up to 48 total digital channels with optional logic probes.
