MS Series
Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes
Complete Embedded System Test
Analog. Digital. Serial.The Ultimate Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
A mixed signal oscilloscope (MSO) is the ideal tool for the design
and debug of todays embedded systems providing the only way
to see analog, digital and serial data signals simultaneously on
one instrument as they occur in real time. Embedded system
designers need to view signals into and out of devices such as
microcontrollers, DSPs, FPGAs, ADCs, DACs, and transducers
while ensuring proper timing and bus traffic.
