The 5 Series B Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope from Tektronix enhances the original 5 Series MSO, launched in 2017, with numerous advances. The new 'scope delivers more versatility while providing high-fidelity waveforms, excellent spectrum analysis capabilities, and flexible signal access. Engineers need instruments that last and can adapt to their changing requirements, like the need for greater in-depth analysis and the ability to see more signals at once to diagnose problems and make sure devices are working properly.

With engineering teams more spread out and collaboration happening outside the lab, easy access to measurement data and the ability to analyze it without needing access to the oscilloscope is a must. The 5 Series B MSO solves these problems with a host of new features. We talk to Tektronix's Suchi Srinivasan about this new oscilloscope and its advantages to the design engineer.
