Wave Inspector control function:
Imagine how you would use the Internet effectively without search engines such as Google and Yahoo, without web browser functions such as favorites, without links, and without Internet service providers such as AOL and MSN! So, you will now know how most modern oscilloscope users feel when attempting to use the long recording length of a digital oscilloscope. Record length is one of the key indicators of an oscilloscope, which refers to the number of sample points that can be digitized and stored in one acquisition. The longer the recording length, the longer the time window that can be captured with high resolution (high sampling rate).
The world's first digital oscilloscope could only capture and store 500 samples, making it difficult to collect all relevant information for the investigated events. Over the years, oscilloscope manufacturers have offered increasingly longer recording lengths to meet the demand for long capture windows with high resolution. High resolution has either become the standard configuration for most mid-range oscilloscopes, or users can choose to upgrade to recording lengths of a few megabits. The recording length of these few megabits usually represents the signal activity of thousands of screens. Although the standard record length has significantly increased in recent years and can now meet the vast majority of application needs in the market, tools for economically and efficiently viewing, observing, and analyzing long record length collections have not received much attention until now.
The MSO4000 series mixed signal oscilloscope redefines engineers' expectations when dealing with long recording lengths through the new control function of Wave Inspector below.
The Wave Inspector control function provides unprecedented efficiency in viewing, navigating, and analyzing waveform data.

Zoom/Pan - The dedicated two-tier front panel knob allows for intuitive control of zoom and pan. The internal knob adjusts the scaling factor (or scaling scale) by rotating clockwise to activate scaling and gradually increase the magnification factor; Turning counterclockwise can reduce the magnification factor and ultimately turn off the zoom function. The external knob moves the zoom box horizontally in the waveform, quickly obtaining the waveform part that the user is interested in. The external knob also uses forced feedback to determine how to quickly translate on the waveform. The more the external knob is rotated, the faster the zoom box moves. By rotating the knob in the opposite direction, the translation direction can be changed. You no longer need to navigate through multiple menus and adjust the zoom view.
Play/Pause - When searching for abnormal events or events of interest, the dedicated play/pause button on the front panel automatically scrolls the waveform in the display screen. The playback speed and direction are controlled using intuitive translation knobs. The more the knob is rotated, the faster the waveform scrolls. By rotating the knob in the opposite direction, the translation direction can be changed.
User Tag - Do you want to view the part of the waveform that interests you? Press the Set Mark button on the front panel to leave one or more bookmarks on the waveform. To navigate between different markers, simply press the Previous and Next buttons on the front panel.
Search tags - don't want to spend time examining the entire collection and finding the event you're looking for? The MSO4000 series has a robust waveform search function that can search for long-term collected data based on user-defined criteria. The search tag will highlight all events that have occurred and can be easily navigated using the Previous and Next buttons on the front panel. The search types include edge, pulse width, short pulse, logic establishment time and hold time, rise/fall time, and I2C, SPI, RS-232, and CAN packet content.

What performance and feature set do you expect
The MSO4000 series mixed signal oscilloscope provides the necessary performance for viewing the highest required signals. Due to the bandwidth range of 350MHz-1GHz and the fact that all models offer at least 5x oversampling rate on all channels, as well as the standard sin (x)/x interpolation algorithm, you can rest assured that you can accurately capture and display the fastest instantaneous events. All channels are labeled with a recording length of 10M, which can capture long signal activity windows while maintaining fine timing resolution.
The MSO4000 series mixed signal oscilloscope provides various analysis solutions, including cursor, 25 automatic measurement functions, statistics, and waveform mathematical operations. Despite its small size (only 5.4 inches thick) and lightweight (11 pounds), the 4000 series still offers outstanding performance, a 10.4-inch large XGA display, and vertical control function for each channel knob.
The TekVPITM probe interface has established a standard for ease of use in detection. The TekVPI probe has status indicator lights and control functions, and a probe menu button is located in the compensation box. This button can launch a probe menu on the oscilloscope display, which includes all relevant settings and control functions for the probe. The TekVPI interface adopts a new probe power management structure, which can directly connect current probes without requiring a separate bulky power supply. Finally, TekVPI probes can be remotely controlled through USB, GPIB, or Ethernet, providing a more versatile solution in ATE environments.
MagniVuTM
The main digital acquisition mode on the MSO4000 series mixed signal oscilloscope can capture up to 10 M samples at 500 MS/s (2 ns resolution). In addition to the main recording, MSO4000 also offers an ultra-high resolution mode called MagniVu, which collects 10000 samples at a maximum of 16.5 GS/s (60.6 ps resolution). At each trigger, the main waveform and MagniVu waveform are collected and can be switched at any time, regardless of whether the oscilloscope is running or has stopped running. MagniVu's timing resolution is nearly 10 times higher than any other MSO on the market, providing users with unwavering confidence when measuring critical time relationships on digital waveforms.
Serial triggering and analysis
One of the most common applications that requires long record lengths is serial data analysis in embedded system design. The embedded system of mixed signal oscilloscope is ubiquitous. They may contain many different types of devices, such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, DSPs, RAM, EPROMs, FPGAs, ADCs, DACs, and I/O. Traditionally, various devices have been using wide parallel buses to communicate with each other and with the external world. However, today, more and more embedded systems are replacing these wide parallel buses with serial buses because they require less circuit board space, fewer pins, and lower power. Mixed signal oscilloscopes use embedded clocks and differential signals to improve noise resistance, and most importantly, their cost is lower. In addition, many well-known manufacturers are providing a large number of popular component components for rapid development and design.
Despite the numerous advantages of serial buses, they also bring significant challenges that their predecessors (parallel buses) never faced. Debugging bus and system issues has become more difficult, isolating events of interest has become more challenging, and interpreting the content displayed on the oscilloscope screen has become more difficult. The 4000 series mixed signal oscilloscope solves these problems and provides the best tool for engineers dealing with low-speed serial buses such as I2C, SPI, RS-232, and CAN.
Bus display - allows for a more advanced combination of various signals that make up the bus (clock, data, chip enable, etc.), making it easier to identify where groups start and end, and to identify sub group components such as address, data, identifier, CRC, etc.
Serial trigger - On popular low-speed serial interfaces such as I2C, SPI, RS-232, and CAN, data collection is triggered at the beginning of grouping, specific addresses, specific data content, and other grouping contents.
Bus decoding - Tired of having to visually inspect waveforms, calculate clocks, determine whether each bit is 1 or 0, combine multiple bits into bytes, and determine decimal values? Let the oscilloscope complete these tasks for you! Once the bus is set up, the oscilloscope will decode each group on the bus and display the values in the bus waveform in decimal, binary, or ASCII (applicable only to RS-232).
Group decoding table - In addition to viewing your own decoded group data of the bus waveform, you can also view all captured groups in the table view, which is largely similar to the way data is viewed on a logic analyzer. It continuously lists groups, including columns (address, data, etc.) for each component.
Search serial triggering is particularly suitable for isolating events of interest, but once an event is captured and surrounding data needs to be analyzed, what should you do? In the past, users had to manually scroll through waveforms, calculate and convert bits to see what caused the event. With the MSO4000 series, you can enable the oscilloscope to search for collected data based on user-defined criteria, including serial grouping components. Display high brightness with search tags every time an event occurs. To quickly navigate between different tags, simply press the "Previous" and "Next" buttons on the front panel.
