The Tektronix MSO2024B is a 200 MHz, 4-channel mixed signal oscilloscope from the MSO/DPO2000B Series. Featuring 16 integrated digital channels, a sample rate of 1 GS/s on all channels, and a 1 Mpoint record length, it provides robust debug capabilities for analog and digital systems. Its advanced Wave Inspector® navigation, FilterVu™ variable low-pass filter, and serial bus triggering capabilities make it a versatile tool for complex embedded designs.
