Power Integrity and Power Management
Today’s boards can have 20 or more power rails. Many are less than 3 V and most have noise limits. Accurate noise measurements demand special attention.
Highlights
- Low measurement system noise
- Compatible with low-noise TPR Series power-rail probes
- Pairs with low-noise TPR Series power-rail probes
- Decoding options for SVID and SPMI
- Impedance measurements
Jitter Analysis
Clocks are the heart of every embedded system and digital communication link. Jitter and other clock distortion can impact system operation, and getting to the root cause can be challenging without the right analysis tools.
Highlights
- Standard phase noise, TIE, and frequency plots and histograms
- Optional advanced analysis with jitter decomposition and clock recovery


Serial Standards Compliance Testing
High speed digital interfaces rely on rigorous test procedures to ensure reliability and interoperability. Automated compliance testing software manages the whole testing process -- setup, making measurements, checking against limits, and generating detailed reports.
Highlights
- Ethernet 10/100/1000BASE-T, NBASE-T and XGBT
- Automotive Ethernet 10/100/1000BASE-T1
- MIPI D-PHY 1.2
- Automotive Ethernet 100/1000BASE-T1
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Troubleshooting
Each analog channel on the 6 Series 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.
EMI Troubleshooting with the Latest-Generation Oscilloscopes

3-phase Inverters, Motors and Drives
The Inverters, Motors and Drives Analysis package makes it easy to perform stable, reliable power measurements on 3-phase PWM systems.
Highlights
- Up to 8 analog input channels
- 3-phase wye, delta, and single-phase wiring configurations
- Comprehensive power measurements
