2 Series Overview

The 2 Series MSO features up to 4 analog channels, 500 MHz bandwidth, 2.5 GS/s sample rate, 16 channel MSO, 50 MHz AFG, 4-bit digital pattern generator, advanced triggers, and protocol decode, all in a compact form factor about 1.5” thick. The 2 Series MSO is the go-to oscilloscope for electronic debug and test, no matter where you work.

With a capacitive touchscreen and a highly intuitive user interface truly designed for touch, the 2 Series MSO is a member of the Tektronix family of award-winning next generation oscilloscopes. The shared user interface and the programmatic interface makes it easy to use any Tektronix next generation oscilloscope

The optional battery pack extends the instrument capabilities by enabling the same instrument that is used in the lab to also be used in the field.

A large catalog of compatible probes and well-rounded set of accessories make the 2 Series MSO the most capable and versatile instrument in its class and suitable for a variety of applications.

Intuitive touchscreen with simplified front panel

The 2 Series MSO offers the same, award-winning user interface as the higher end Tektronix oscilloscopes and supports the touch interactions that you have come to expect in a touch-enabled consumer device.

• Drag waveforms left/right or up/down to adjust horizontal and vertical position or to pan a zoomed view.

• Pinch and expand to change scale or zoom in/out in either horizontal or vertical directions.

• Swipe in from the right to reveal the results bar or down from the top to access the menus in the upper left corner of the display.

TekDrive

The 2 Series MSO is natively integrated with TekDrive collaborative test and measurement data workspace that allows users to upload, store, organize, search, download, and share any file type from any connected device.

• Seamlessly access your data anywhere

• Save/recall directly on instruments

• Inspect, analyze, and report saved data on any device using a browser

• Collaborate seamless with other contributors

• Integrate into any workflow with scripting using REST API

Hardware security includes a Kensington lock (T-Bar style) to prevent theft of the oscilloscope.

The 2 Series MSO provides you with the option to protect company data through the Security menu. This includes the option to restrict access to the instrument by password-protecting remote network access, I/O ports, and firmware updates to ensure the security of the data. By default, the oscilloscope disables remote access on initial use and gives you the option to enable remote access with or without a password.

To clear user data, run TekSecure from the menu.

Connectivity

The 2 Series MSO contains several ports that you can use to connect the instrument to a network, directly to a PC, or to other test equipment.

• Two USB 2.0 ports enable easy transfer of screenshots, instrument settings, and waveform data to a USB mass storage device. A USB mouse and keyboard can also be attached to USB host ports for instrument control and data entry. The USB device port allows you to control the oscilloscope remotely from a PC.

• The standard 10/100BASE-T ethernet port enables easy connection to networks, and remotely controlling the instrument and viewing the acquired data.

FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes the MSO22 and MSO24 different from traditional bench oscilloscopes?
The MSO22 and MSO24 combine full-featured mixed-signal oscilloscope performance with an ultra-thin portable design only about 1.5 inches deep, making them ideal for both bench and field troubleshooting without sacrificing advanced analysis capabilities.

2. Can I add mixed-signal and protocol analysis capabilities after purchase?
Yes. The MSO22 and MSO24 are upgradeable with optional 16-channel mixed-signal analysis, serial bus triggering and decode, arbitrary waveform generation, digital pattern generation, and Bode plot analysis as testing needs evolve.

3. Is the 2 Series MSO suitable for field service and mobile testing?
Yes. An optional dual-battery pack provides up to eight hours of operation with hot-swappable batteries, allowing engineers to perform measurements in locations where AC power is unavailable.

4. Why choose the MSO24 over the MSO22?
Both models offer the same performance, bandwidth options up to 500 MHz, and 2.5 GS/s sampling, but the MSO24 includes four analog channels while the MSO22 provides two, making the MSO24 a better choice for debugging more complex systems with multiple signals.
