Product Description

Tektronix 6 Series Low Profile Digitizer

Applications requiring high-speed digitizers shouldn’t trade-off performance when turning on channels. The 6 Series Low Profile Digitizer sets a new standard by not interleaving sample rate, bandwidth or record length. You get the fastest and most accurate performance from your digitizer – all in a 2U space.

25 GS/s on all 4 channels
DC to 8 GHz on all 4 channels
12-bit analog-to-digital converters
Up to 1 billion samples (1 Gpt) on all 4 channels
Up to 2 GHz RF DDC bandwidth on all channels
2U rack ready digitizer
Best in class low noise and ENOB

Big Physics – Machine Diagnostics

Physics is constantly leading the world to exciting new scientific discoveries in both matter and energy. These experiments require digitizers and oscilloscopes with new levels of precision, performance and size when monitoring target test points. The 6 Series Low Profile Digitizer exceed these by bringing an award winning oscilloscope user interface, industry leading performance, small form factor and Tektronix’s class of reliability. Test equipment just got better.

Built-in Spectrum View inputs with DDC & IQ data offload

Whether you’re a spectrum analyzer expert or an occasional user, you’ll be able to put the built-in Spectrum View right to work. The Tektronix TEK049 ASIC has patented dual signal paths with an ADC and DDC that allow independent controls of both time domain and frequency domain.

Highlights

Up to 2 GHz bandwidth with Digital Down Converter (DDC)
Individual time domain and frequency domain controls
Fast raw IQ data offloading to PC
RF vs Time Triggering (trigger on frequency or magnitude changes)

Remote Control and Automation

Test automation increases test speed, reduces mistakes, and ensures that every device meets the same standard of quality. Low profile oscilloscopes efficiently execute automated procedures without wasting valuable rack space. With the right resources, tools, and tutorials, it’s easier than ever to produce fast, consistent results. Get started quickly with sample code, Python instrument drivers, or user-friendly PC applications.

Highlights:

Industry standard SCPI Interface
Programming support for Python, MATLAB, LabView, IVI-C, IVI-COM, VISA, Sockets and more
eScope browser-based control

Synchronize multiple high-speed digitizers

Turn two remote digitizers into a single virtual instrument. Discover, search and analyze across more channels then ever before.

View all channels simultaneously
Rearrange or group channels
Unlimited automated measurements
Easy Ethernet access

Transition from design to manufacturing test, effortlessly

Eliminate work by using exactly the same software and test routines in production that you developed during design. Use the benchtop 6 Series MSO with its 15.6-inch HD display and pinch-swipe-zoom touchscreen for design validation. Run the same user interface, similar hardware while using the compact low-profile digitizer version in manufacturing.
