Embedded World 2014: Tektronix launches six-in-one scope
By combining six functions into the MDO3000, Tektronix says it has integrated most of a designer's workbench needs into one instrument.
Its research found that more than 25% of oscilloscope users also used a spectrum analyser several times a week, hence the decision to develop the first oscilloscope with integrated spectrum analyser.
Along with a scope, the device includes a spectrum analyser, logic analyser, protocol analyser, arbitrary function generator and digital voltmeter. To minimise initial outlay, the MDO3000 can be purchased with the latter four functions locked. These can be accessed at a later date if needed.
