MDO3014

Tektronix MDO3014 Mixed Domain Oscilloscope

The MDO3014 Mixed Domain Oscilloscope designed by Tektronix is a high performing 6-in-1 oscilloscope that includes: an arbitrary function generator, integrated spectrum analyzer, protocol analyzer, logic analyzer, and digital voltmeter/counter. This model is suitable for applications such as education, EMI troubleshooting, and design and debug. The MDO3014 can be customized and upgraded at any time, according to the user’s specifications.

One of the features of the MDO3014 is Wave Inspector, which allows the user to navigate waveforms and perform automated searches, and spot events of interest quickly. Another feature of this model are the integrated analysis tools such as waveform and screen- based cursors, advanced waveform math, FFT assessment, automated measurements, waveform histograms, and trend plots for visually deciding how a measurement is progressing. These tools allow the user to confirm that their oscilloscope is performing well and that it is meeting the project’s design goals. Automated measurement readouts allow the user to look at waveform characteristics as statistics, so they can repeat them later on.

Since the Tektronix MDO3014 has such a fast waveform capture rate, this model gives the user a similar display to an analog oscilloscope, but instead has more detail, along with the added advantages of digital oscilloscopes. Many video engineers prefer analog oscilloscopes, but the MDO3014 is perfect for video applications because of the following features: IRE and mV graticules, video polarity, HDTV and custom video triggers, holdoff by fields, and an Autoset which can spot video signals. A video picture mode is also available to let the user see the picture of the video signal they are watching.
