Tektronix MSO46B Mixed Signal Oscilloscope

Overview

The Tektronix MSO46B 350 MHz variant is a 6-channel mixed signal oscilloscope that provides excellent mid-range bandwidth for embedded systems and digital circuit debugging. Part of the 4 Series B line, it features a faster processing platform that doubles responsiveness and 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) delivering 16 times greater vertical resolution than standard 8-bit oscilloscopes. With 6.25 GS/s sampling rate and 13.3-inch full HD touchscreen, it combines performance with ease of use for various test and measurement applications.

The innovative FlexChannel technology allows each of the six analog input channels to function as an analog channel, eight digital logic inputs (with optional TLP058 probe), or provide simultaneous analog and spectrum views with independent controls. This versatility supports embedded systems debugging, power converter testing, and complex multi-signal analysis.
