5 Series MSO Low Profile

Instrument more of your experiment without adding racks

Replace your oscilloscopes and fit 6x more channels into your existing rack space. The 5 Series MSO LP offers 8 channels, plus an auxiliary trigger input, in a space-saving 2U instrument -- at a low cost-per-channel. Each the 8 FlexChannel™ inputs can be used as 1 analog channel or 8 digital channels.

See more signal detail than ever with 12-bit vertical resolution and ENOB of 7.6 bits at 1 GHz

12-bit analog-to-digital converters provide 16 times the vertical resolution of traditional 8-bit ADCs. Measure small signal details, even if they are riding on large signals.

Transition from design to manufacturing test, effortlessly

Eliminate work by using exactly the same software and test routines in production that you developed during design. Use the benchtop 5 Series MSO with its 15.6-inch HD display and pinch-swipe-zoom touchscreen for design validation. Then run exactly the same tests using the compact low-profile version in manufacturing. A command translator built into the 5 Series enables it to respond to legacy commands, allowing the replacement of older instruments without changing code.

High-Energy Physics

Pulsed power measurement applications capture fleeting events that represent the world of particle physics, and require the acquisition of many signals with high dynamic range in challenging physical environments. The 5 Series MSO Low Profile provides more than 6X the channel density of a traditional bench oscilloscope with industry-leading performance enabling confident collection of accurate test data.
