Protocol Decoding and Analysis

Automatic serial bus decoding saves time and eliminates errors versus hand decoding. Search functions enable you to isolate events for fast system-level troubleshooting. See the datasheet for a complete listing of more than 25 supported protocols.

Highlights

  • I2C, SPI
  • RS-232 / 422 / 485 / UART
  • USB 2.0
  • Ethernet

Power Integrity and Power Management

Today’s boards can have 20 or more power rails. Most of these are just a few volts or less and many have strict noise limits. Make accurate multi-rail measurements with the right tools .

Highlights

  • Up to 8 analog input channels
  • Compatible with low-noise TPR Series power-rail probes
  • Decoding options for I2C, SPI, SMBus, SPMI and SVID
  • Optional impedance vs. frequency plots

Jitter Analysis and Serial Standards Compliance

Clocks are the heart of every embedded system and digital communication link. Excessive jitter can impact system operation but the jitter analysis package will help you find the sources.

Automated compliance packages simplify testing to make sure your high-speed serial bus implementations conform to serial standards such as USB and Ethernet.

Power Supply Analysis

Whether your latest design uses silicon, gallium arsenide or silicon carbide, making accurate power quality, harmonics and switching loss measurements is easier with automated power measurements.

Highlights

  • Power quality and harmonics
  • Switching loss and safe operating area
  • In-circuit inductor and transformer analysis
  • Multi-output efficiency
  • Bode plots and power supply rejection ratio

3-Phase Inverters, Motors and Drives Analysis

Make stable 3-phase power measurements on pulse-width modulated waveforms. The Inverters, Motors and Drives Analysis package makes it easy.

Highlights

  • Up to 8 analog input channels
  • 3-phase wye, delta, and single-phase wiring configurations
  • Comprehensive power measurements
  • Harmonics analysis
  • DQ0 measurements
  • Mechanical measurements include angle, speed, acceleration and torque

Automotive Power and In-vehicle Networks

Equipped with differential voltage probes and current probes, the 5 Series is ideal for validating the latest SiC power converters.

Decoders for CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, PSI5 and SENT buses make it easy to see communications between ECUs, sensors and actuators.

An automated Automotive Ethernet compliance suite lets you easily test to the standards, without becoming a high-speed bus expert.

Remote Control and Automation

Test automation helps you get fast, repeatable results and allows you to access your tools and data from anywhere.

  • Test automation helps you get fast, repeatable results and allows you to access your tools and data from anywhere.
  • KickStart simplifies data capture and logging. Supports function generators, power supplies, SMUs and more
  • *eSCope lets you control your scope over any LAN, using just a browser
  • Comprehensive, fully-supported programmable interfaces enable development of robust custom software

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Troubleshooting

Each analog channel on the 5 Series B MSO can show you a time domain waveform, a spectrum, or both. Time and frequency plots are synchronized to help you quickly determine which signals are the victims and which ones are the aggressors.
