MSO MXs-B

All the great features of the

WaveSurfer MXs-B plus:

• 18 Digital Channels

• Max. Digital Signal Speed

of 250 MHz

• Analog and Digital Cross

Pattern Triggering

The WaveSurfer® MXs-B and MSO MXs-B oscilloscopes pack

high performance hardware, powerful waveform processing

and advanced math, measurement and debug tools into a

compact form factor with a large touch screen display and

intuitive user interface.

With up to 10 GS/s sample rate and

32 Mpts of memory WaveSurfer can

capture large amounts of data at

very high sample rates. Other

oscilloscopes offer long memory but

they bog down trying to process or

display it. WaveSurfer handles large

amounts of data quickly providing

fast processing of long memory even

when using math and measurement

functions. The software responds

immediately to the user inputs even

while processing data.

System debug often requires more

than analog channels. The MSO

MXs-B delivers 18 digital channels

which can capture digital signals of

up to 250 MHz. The MSO MXs-B

offer analog and digital cross-trig-

gering plus measurement tools to

help debug digital busses. Teledyne

LeCroy’s WaveScan™ search and ﬁnd

tool will scan both analog and digital

channels for anamolies plus scan

multiple digital lines for a parallel

bus pattern.

Key Features

TOUCH SCREEN SIMPLICITY

New Surfer image

Don’t waste time searching through a complex menu

structure to ﬁnd the proper setting. Conﬁguring the Wave-

Surfer is simple thanks to the intuitive touch screen user

interface. Everything on the screen is interactive. To adjust

channel, timebase, or trigger settings, simply touch the

associated descriptor box and the appropriate menu is

opened. Measurements can be touched to adjust their

settings and cursors can be positioned precisely by touch-

ing and dragging them to the proper location. A box can be

drawn around a portion of a waveform to create a zoom of

that waveform. Even waveform offset and delay can be

adjusted simply by touching and dragging the waveform.

IDENTIFY AND ISOLATE PROBLEMS FASTER

WaveScan Advanced Search

WaveScan provides powerful isolation capabilities that hard-

ware triggers can’t provide. WaveScan provides the ability

to locate unusual events in a single capture (i.e., capture and

search), or “scan” for an event in many acquisitions over a

long period of time. Select from more than 20 search modes

to ﬁnd events on any analog or digital channel or search for

a pattern across multiple digital channels.

Since the scanning “modes” are not

simply copies of the hardware trig gers,

the utility and capa bility is much higher.

For instance, there is no “frequency”

trigger in any oscilloscope, yet

WaveScan allows for “frequency”

to be quickly “scanned.” This allows

the user to accumulate a data set of

unusual events that are separated by

hours or days, enabling faster debug-

ging. When used in multiple acquisi-

tions, WaveScan builds on the

traditional Teledyne LeCroy strength

of fast processing of data. A Teledyne

LeCroy X-Stream oscilloscope will

quickly scan millions of events look-

ing for unusual occurrences, and do it

much faster and more efﬁciently than

other oscilloscopes can.

Advanced Waveform Capture

with Sequence Mode

Use Sequence mode to store up to

5,000 triggered events as “segments”

into memory. This can be ideal when

capturing many fast pulses in quick

succession or when capturing events

separated by long time periods.

Sequence mode provides timestamps

for each acquisition and minimizes

dead-time between triggers to less

than 1 μ s. Combine Sequence mode

with advanced triggers to isolate rare

events over time and analyze afterwards.

WaveStream Fast

Viewing Mode

WaveStream provides a vibrant,

intensity graded (256 levels) display

with fast update rate to simulate the

look and feel of an analog oscilloscope.

WaveStream is helpful for seeing

jitter or identifying unusual events.

With sampling rate as high as 10 GS/s

WaveStream is an excellent runt

or glitch ﬁnder.

High-performance Mixed

Signal Capabilities

Embedded controller design and debug

involves capturing and viewing a

number of different types of signals.

These signals are typically a mix of

analog, digital, and serial data wave-

forms from a combination of analog

sensors, microcontrollers and peripheral

devices. With the ability to capture digital

signals with speeds up to 250 MHz

and long memory of 10 Mpts/Ch the

MSO MXs-B provides unmatched

mixed signal performance. The

MSO MXs-B is the ideal tool for testing

embedded systems with 8-bit micro-

controllers or slower digital signals.

With 18 digital inputs each with

250 MHz max. input frequency and

10 Mpts/Ch memory, the MSO MXs-B

is an outstanding value and provides

a complete set of tools for embedded

system testing.

Extensive Triggering

The MSO MXs-B has extensive digital

trigger capabilities. Normal oscilloscope

triggers will operate on digital inputs.

Cross-pattern triggering allows for sim-

ple or complex trigger patterns to be

setup with any combination of analog

and digital channels. Event triggering

can be conﬁgured to arm on an analog

signal and trigger on a digital pattern.

Quick Mixed Signal Setup,

Easy-to-use

Unlike a traditional Logic Analyzer, the

MSO MXs-B is easy to use. A simple

connection links the oscilloscope with

the digital inputs so users can start

viewing signals and begin debugging

quickly. In addition, all standard

oscilloscope tools are readily

accessible. Signal debug is simple,

using standard oscilloscope tools,

such as cursors, measurement

parameters, and zooming.

EMBEDDED CONTROLLER DESIGN AND DEBUG

Teledyne LeCroy’s versatile MSO MXs-B mixed signal oscilloscope combines the powerful

WaveSurfer MXs-B with the ﬂexibility of digital inputs using the MS-250. In addition, the

many triggering and decoding options turn the MSO MXs-B into an all-in-one analog, digital,

and serial data trigger, acquisition, and debug machine.

View decoded protocol information on top of physical layer waveforms and trigger on

protocol speciﬁc messages.

Powerful Serial Data Triggers

The serial data trigger will quickly

isolate events on a bus eliminating

the need to set manual triggers and

hoping to catch the right information.

Trigger conditions can be entered in

binary or hexadecimal formats and

conditional trigger capabilities even

allow triggering on a range of differ-

ent events.

Intuitive, Color-Coded

Decode Overlay

Protocol decoding is shown directly

on the waveform with an intuitive,

color-coded overlay and presented in

binary, hex or ASCII. Decoding on the

MSO MXs-B is fast even with long

memory and zooming in to the

waveform shows precise byte by

byte decoding.

Table Summary and

Search/Zoom

To further simplify the debug process

all decoded data can be displayed in a

table below the waveform grid.

Selecting an entry in the table with

the touch screen will display just that

event. Additionally, built-in search

functionality will ﬁnd speciﬁc de-

coded values.

SERIAL TRIGGER AND DECODE OPTIONS

Supported Serial Data

Protocols

• I2C, SPI, UART

• CAN, LIN, FlexRay™, SENT

• Ethernet 10/100BaseT,

Debugging serial data busses can be confusing and time consuming. The serial data and

decode options for MSO MXs-B provide time saving tools for serial bus debug and validation.

Power Analyzer Automates Switching Device Loss Measurements

Quickly measure and analyze the operating characteristics of power conver-

sion devices and circuits with the Power Analyzer option. Critical power

switching device measurements, control loop modulation analysis, and line

power harmonic testing are all simpliﬁed with a dedicated user interface and

automatic measurements. Areas of turn-on, turn-off, and conduction loss are

all identiﬁed with color-coded waveform overlays for faster analysis.

Power Analyzer provides quick and easy setup of voltage and current inputs

and makes measurements as simple as the push of a button. Tools are pro-

vided to help reduce sources of measurement errors and the measurement

parameters provide details of single cycle or average device power losses.

Beyond the advanced power loss measurement capabilities, the Power

Analyzer modulation analysis capabilities provide insight to under-

stand control loop response to critical events

such as a power supply’s soft start perfor-

mance or step response to line and load

changes. The Line Power Analysis tool

allows simple and quick pre-compliance

testing to EN 61000-3-2.
