The Tektronix MSO2 Series Oscilloscopes.
The digital storage oscilloscopes of the MSO 2 series work where you do. Create more space in your lab without compromising on performance with the compact and portable oscilloscope. The MSO2 is the ideal oscilloscope for troubleshooting and testing electronic devices, no matter where you work.
Versatile oscilloscope for everyday troubleshooting.
The oscilloscopes are not only incredibly compact thanks to the form factor with a thickness of only approx. 4 cm, but also packed with useful functions that make your daily debugging and testing easier: Up to 4 analog channels, 16 digital channels for mixed-signal, 500 MHz bandwidth, 2.5 GS/s sampling rate and a 4-bit pattern generator. The extremely intuitive user interface and the capacitive touchscreen round off the package.
As a further highlight, it is possible to operate the MSO series 2 devices with a battery pack so that you can use your oscilloscope exactly where you want it - whether in the laboratory or directly on site.

capacitive Touchscreen
With a capacitive touch screen and a highly intuitive user interface designed specifically for touch control, the MSO2 joins the family of award-winning Tektronix next-generation oscilloscopes. For example, you can edit the alignment or vertical and horizontal zoom directly on the touch screen. Or you can adjust the scale, display the results bar and menu with a swipe, and much more.
The clearly arranged front panel also contains the most important buttons and controls with color-coded LED ring lights for quick access to the most frequently used device settings. The MSO2 has a robust membrane switch technology and is therefore ideally equipped for harsh environments. The surface is also easy to wipe and clean. And all this in an incredibly compact form factor of only about 1.5 inches.

Stacked display mode
maximum visibility and accuracy
Even though the MSO2 naturally has mouse and keyboard support, the devices were primarily developed for touch operation. The user can access device configuration or waveform management at the touch of a finger. The devices also have a completely new feature, stack mode. Here, each waveform has its own layer (additional grid) that can display the entire ADC range. You no longer have to worry about overlapping waveforms. This ensures not only maximum visibility, but also accuracy.
A large selection of standard analysis tools enables comprehensive evaluations. These include waveform and screen-based cursors with user-selectable reading position, 36 automated measurements with measurement statistics and gating, with the ability to add an unlimited number of measurements, navigate from one event to the next and instantly display the minimum or maximum result.
Basic and advanced waveform math, including arbitrary equation editing, is of course available as well as FFT analysis with magnitude or phase display options, multiple options for customizing window type, gating and units. In addition, a set of advanced triggers and much more awaits you.
Essential Options and Extensions.

The battery pack has two slots and supports hot-swapping, i.e. swapping batteries during operation to extend battery life. The batteries charge when your MSO2 is connected to the mains. Alternatively, it is possible to charge the batteries using an external charger.
