performance, and to debug challenging system issues.
Most engineers can recall situations in which they were debugging a
particularly difficult problem and wanted greater system visibility and
context, but the scope they were using was limited to two or four
analog channels. Using a second scope involves significant effort to
align trigger points, difficulty in determining timing relationships across
the two displays, and documentation challenges.
And while you might assume that a six channel scope would cost
50% more than a four-channel scope, you'll be pleasantly surprised to
find that six channel models are only ~20% more than four channel
models. The additional analog channels can pay for themselves quickly
by enabling you to keep current and future projects on schedule.

FlexChannel technology enables the ultimate in flexibility. Each input can be configured
as a single analog or eight digital channels based on the type of probe you attach.

Previous-generation MSOs required tradeoffs, with digital channels


having lower sample rates or shorter record lengths than analog
channels. The 4 Series MSO offers a new level of integration of digital
channels. Digital channels share the same high sample rate (up to 6.25
GS/s), and long record length (up to 62.5 M points) as analog channels.

High-side Gate Voltage Measurement with IsoVu

Differential Probe (blue trace) vs. IsoVu Optically Isolated Probe (yellow trace)

The image above shows a comparison of the high-side gate voltage


for a standard differential probe versus an optically isolated probe. For
both at turn-off and turn-on, high-frequency ringing can be seen on the
gate after the device’s gate passes through the threshold region. Due to
coupling between the gate and power loop, some ringing is expected.
However, in the case of the differential probe, the ringing has a
significantly higher amplitude than is measured by the optically isolated
probe. This is likely due to the changing reference voltage inducing
common mode currents within the probe and an artifact of a standard
differential probe. While the waveform measured by the differential
probe appears to pass the maximum gate voltage of the device, the
more accurate measurement of the optically isolated probe makes it
clear that the device is within specification. Application designers using
standard differential probes for gate voltage measurements should use
caution as it may not be possible to differentiate between the probing
and measurement system artifact shown here and an actual violation of
the device ratings. This measurement artifact may cause the designer
to increase the gate resistance to slow down the switching transient and
reduce the ringing. However, this would unnecessarily increase losses
in the SiC device. For this reason, it is essential to have a measurement
system that accurately reflects the actual dynamics of the device, in
order to appropriately design the system and optimize performance.

The lower trace is the frequency vs. time trace derived from the input signal. Notice that the Spectrum Time is positioned during a transition from the lowest frequency to the middle
frequency, so the energy is spread across a number of frequencies. With the frequency vs. time trace, you can easily see the different frequency hops, simplifying characterization of how
the device switches between frequencies.

Arbitrary/Function Generator (AFG)


The instrument contains an optional integrated arbitrary/function
generator, perfect for simulating sensor signals within a design or
adding noise to signals to perform margin testing. The integrated
function generator provides output of predefined waveforms up to 50
MHz for sine, square, pulse, ramp/triangle, DC, noise, sin(x)/x (Sinc),
Gaussian, Lorentz, exponential rise/fall, Haversine and cardiac. The
AFG can load waveform records up to 128 k points in size from an
internal file location or a USB mass storage device.
The AFG feature is compatible with Tektronix' ArbExpress PC-based
waveform creation and editing software, making creation of complex
waveforms fast and easy.

Digital Voltmeter (DVM) and Trigger Frequency Counter


The instrument contains an integrated 4-digit digital voltmeter (DVM)
and 8-digit trigger frequency counter. Any of the analog inputs can be
a source for the voltmeter, using the same probes that are already
attached for general oscilloscope usage. The trigger frequency counter
provides a very precise readout of the frequency of the trigger event on
which you’re triggering.
Both the DVM and trigger frequency counter are available for free and
are activated when you register your product.

Enhanced security option


The optional 4-SEC enhanced security option enables password-
protected enabling/disabling of all instrument I/O ports and firmware
upgrades. In addition, option 4-SEC provides the highest level of
security by ensuring that internal memory never stores user settings
or waveform data, in compliance with National Industrial Security
Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) DoD 5220.22-M, Chapter 8
requirements and Defense Security Service Manual for the Certification
and Accreditation of Classified Systems under the NISPOM. This
ensures that you can confidently move the instrument out of a secure

you see something of interest, and quickly review all stored triggered acquisitions.The number of available
acquisitions stored in history is (Maximum record length) / (Current record length setting).
