Digital Channels (optional)

Special offer: When you buy an MDO34, you pay the price of the model with the next smaller bandwidth plus you get the 3-BND, 3-MSO, 3-AFG and 3-SA1 options for free

The logic analyzer (option 3-MSO) provides 16 digital channels which are tightly integrated into the oscilloscope's user interface. This simplifies operation and makes it possible to solve mixed-signal issues easily.

Color-coded digital waveform display

Color-coded digital traces display ones in green and zeros in blue. This coloring is also used in the digital channel monitor. The monitor shows if signals are high, low, or are transitioning so you can see channel activity at a glance without having to clutter your display with unneeded digital waveforms. The multiple transition detection hardware shows you a white edge on the display when the system detects multiple transitions. White edges indicate that more information is available by zooming in or acquiring at faster
sampling rates. In most cases zooming in will reveal the pulse that was not viewable with the previous settings. If the white edge is still present after zooming in as far as possible, this indicates that increasing the sample rate on the next acquisition will reveal higher frequency information than the previous settings could acquire. You can group digital waveforms and enter waveform labels easily on the touchscreen. By simply placing digital waveforms next to each other, they form a group.
