LPD64, MSO64, MSO64B, MSO66B and MSO68B
New Features:
- Enhanced waveview mask hits feature with consecutive waveform hits.
When the Consecutive Failures setting is greater than 1, then the scope
tracks
consecutive waveform mask hits and reports pass/fail.
- Multi Source Cursor Readouts are shown in waveview or on Cursor badge.
Configure Cursor Type as Waveform and Cursor Source as “All”.
This will display signal voltage and delta cursor values of all
active sources
- Display Vertical Offset in the waveview channel handles. Configure Channel
Offset
from the Channel Vertical settings page. This will display the offset (if
any)
directly in the waveview without opening the Channel context panel

- Show Measurement annotations on Spectrum View measurements
- IMDA updates:
- Acq trend plot added for Mechanical Power and System Efficiency
measurements
- Measure Speed, Angle, Mechanical Power, and System Efficiency using
Resolver sensor

- Enable History mode on Power measurements except Single sequence and FRA
measurements
- Power, IMDA and DPM demo files using ref waveform
- New column is added in FRA results table to show input and output linear
voltage values
- New RF Measurements
- Channel Power measures the total RF power within the bandwidth defined
by the channel width
- ACPR measures the signal power leaking from the main channel into
adjacent channels upto 5 channels
- OBW measures the occupied bandwidth
Defects Fixed:
- When signal amplitude is low then Cycle RMS measurement shows zero population
with no error message
- Plugging TPP1000 on CH2 of 6B Series MSO breaks CH1 termination
- Trigger Setup & Hold image is incorrect
- Cursor delta value unit on Rf vs Time magnitude trace shows in dBm instead of
dB
- Integration operation at higher record length on math waveform returns
incorrect result
- At slow horizontal sweep speed (like 10sec/div), the gated measurements
display
"No data in range" message even when the waveform exists within the gated
region
- No programmable interface command exists to query the success/failure of
probe AutoZero
- AutoZero status cannot be queried through *ESR? and :ALLEV?
- After changing the spectrum view vertical scale, Save and recall session file
does not recall spectrum view vertical scale
- 5 Series MSO shuts down from invalid temperature reading
- On 4 Series MSO, Setup a search, then zoom on one event and try to navigate
to
the next event using navigate button, after some movement the zoom window
starts
to move on its own
- On 4 Series MSO with Linux OS, Files saved are timestamped with the GMT time
instead of the set time zone
- User manual does not show the complete list of help topics in the Contents
tab
- Value returned by :wfmoutpre:pt_order? is incorrect when FastAcq PIXMAP mode
is enabled
- Trigger B Event is being reflected as Trigger A Event
- FastFrame and saving images/data have sync errors. Sometimes the measurement
results displayed in the badges for the selected fast frame may not match in
the
saved screen capture
- Scrolling through Bus decode or Math make the screen flicker
- When using the control loop response with amplitude profile mode,
plot generated is not smooth
- Vertical scale displayed as dB_/div instead of dB/div when spectrum view is
on
- Branch queries does not always return results in a fixed order
- MAV bit is not cleared after scope output is read
Known Issues:
- Cannot change the time zone from PST to JST through PI command
- When network directory is successfully mounted, and when the network
connection
is lost, the drive later becomes a phantom drive and cannot be unmounted
- AFG settings cannot be recalled from setup or session files
- On 6 Series MSO with FastAcq on, inserting a 4 GHz TDP7704 hangs the scope
- Autoset restricts the channel vertical scale to 1mW/Div
- SPI BUS trigger does not trigger on the defined Data
- TDP77 probes should not be supported on 4 or 5 Series MSO
- RS232 bus decode can not search for multiple bytes
- External monitor causes touchscreen to not work properly
- Linux Scopes have issues with unmounting completely blank drives.
The similar issue is seen with the network drives as well.
The workaround is to add some files before unmounting the drives.
Sometimes the network drive unmount is seen when network connection is lost
- \n newline character in FILES:MKD PI command crashes scope.
Workaround is to use the escape character “\” before the “\n”
- NFS mounts cannot be programmatically set as CWD on 4-Series MSO
- Save Screen Capture with opposite colors of display colors fails.
The workaround is to go with Displayed color settings (either
normal/inverted)
rather than the Screen Capture colors while saving the screen captures
- Spectrum View is turning off when I turn off the Ch1 display. This issue
happens only when the channel display is turned off from the short-cut right
click menu. The workaround is to use the context panel display on/off toggle
switch.
- Horizontal scroll bar not available for tab based results table similar to
measurement results table. Since the scroll bar is not shown, the user has to
use the touchscreen swipe gestures to scroll horizontally in tables.
- With History mode On and higher record length (i.e. >1M), some of the
computation
intensive power measurements like magnetic property, harmonics and switching
loss
are expected to run slowly
- Reference signals with modified skew value are not supported in WBG-DPT
