Overview
The 2563 has been replaced by the: 2563-MSO
The 2560 Digital Storage and Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) Series delivers advanced features and debug capabilities for a wide range of applications. With up to 300 MHz bandwidth in a 4-channel configuration, each model offers a maximum sample rate of 2 GSa/s, and a maximum memory depth of 140 Mpts. In addition, these oscilloscopes provide an 8” color display with 256 levels of color grading combined with a high waveform update rate up to 140,000 wfms/s, which allows the instruments to capture infrequent glitches with excellent signal fidelity. The MSO upgrade provides 16 additional digital channels, the Decode upgrade provides serial bus decoding for I2C, SPI, UART/RS232, CAN, and LIN protocols and the AWG upgrade enables the 25 MHz function /arbitrary waveform generator. These digital oscilloscopes are ideal for applications in design and debugging, service and repair, and education. To purchase an MSO, Decode, and FG license key, please fill out the license request form.
