Get the big picture and take total control, with the 15.6 HD touchscreen display. Use the capacitive pinch-zoom-swipe touchscreen, front panel controls, or mouse to analyze and manage multiple signals without fighting through menus.
Available with 4, 6, or 8 FlexChannel inputs. Each can be used to look at 1 analog signal or look at 8 digital logic signals, just by changing the probe. Display any analog signal as a high-resolution waveform, a spectrum, or both at the same time, with independent acquisition controls for each domain.
12-bit analog to digital converters deliver up to 16 bits of vertical resolution using advanced digital signal processing. See and measure small signal details, even if they're riding on large signals.
Add capabilities when you need them and for as long as you need them. Share data instantly in an integrated cloud-based workspace. All to get things done, fast.

Automatic serial bus decoding saves time and eliminates errors versus hand decoding. Serial bus triggering and search enable you to isolate events for system-level troubleshooting. See the datasheet for a complete list.
Highlights
Car designers rely on serial buses for error-free communications between ECUs, sensors and actuators. They can also rely on the 5 Series MSO, equipped with CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, PSI5 and SENT decoding to be able to get a synchronized view of their systems. The automated Automotive Ethernet compliance suite lets you test to the standard, without becoming a high speed bus expert.
Learn how CAN, CAN FD, LIN and FlexRay decoding and triggering speed debug
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
Make reliable, repeatable power quality, harmonics, switching loss, safe operating area measurements and more with the automated power measurement and analysis package.
Highlights
Learn how to make automated switching loss measurements, harmonics measurements, and more
Learn how more channels simplify power supply sequencing
Learn how to decode and trigger on the SPMI power management bus
Today’s boards can have 20 or more power rails. Most of these are less than a few volts and have strict noise limits. Accurate measurements demand special attention.
Highlights
The Inverters, Motors and Drives Analysis package performs stable power measurements on 3-phase PWM systems with ease.
