It has a DVI and displayport output. Would just depend if he has a capture card. on the flip side there is a great remote interface. Just type in the IP address into a browser and its like you're running the scope live. Just need some kind of screen capture SW on your PC.
Simply beautiful. Looks to be perfect, no compromises, good UI, good technology, responsive, a lot of bandwidth, a lot of channels, a lot of resolution, everything thinked of. Congratulations Textronix for doing good job, and learning from Keysight and Rhode and Shwartz, and Rigol, and taking best things and even improving them. Thanks TSP for overview.
I hope it's waterproof. I would probably spend the first month drooling all over it if it was on my bench. Someone finally made a scope with killer user interface. This thing is definitely worth a centerfold in the electronics porn magazine.
If I had this oscilloscope I would measure even temperature when I'm ill with it. Anyway... I'm hobbyist so my Rigol DS1054Z is just good enough so I'm going to wait 20 years to buy this Tek from seventeenth owner :) And I'm thinking to replace my TV with oscilloscope in the future.
- fixed exposure! - ~8:00 - for camera reflection you can add black surface behind the camera - boot time? - ~13:00 - possibility to merge and split the view of just some of multiple channels?, any dragging of screen division lines? - ~18:20 - possibility to lock the cursor to the trigger point when dragging horizontal? - ~21:00 - no touchscreen number dial to write value?
By pure coincidence, Analog devices just announced their new dual 14-bit 3GSPS ADCs today too! A 3dB bandwidth of 9GHz is kinda insane for a commercially available chip.
Maybe I'm missing something at 13:30, but why would offsetting channels vertically on a standard scope remove dynamic range of the converter? I don't think that is physically adding a voltage to the vertical amplifier to offset the channel (if you put a cursor on that channel, it still reads the same magnitude before the offset), it's just a display change.
Great video as always! However I have one suggestion/complaint: the microphone you use seems to have quite a strong proximity effect (if you haven't heard of it I can recommend it for an interesting read) resulting in much more bass in your voice than is natural. This is fine when I listen to your video with some small speakers since they can not output the bass. But when I listen to your video on a computer with large speakers and a subwoofer (or some good headphones) these unnaturally boosted low frequencies in your voice are very noticeable, making it hard to listen too. Maybe try to move the mic further away from your mouth or apply a EQ curve to all the audio that you record with it.
What happened to the promised review? It's 2019 already. Would love to see more about this scope. It looks great. But does it have some non-obvious pitfalls (other than price)?
Brian from Tek here. Many people in the mainstream scope space love or hate windows. Two different customer bases, so we provided the same user interface experience with both operating systems using the same great hardware. Customers just get more selection. Cheers :)
" And there's an 8-digit frequency counter included, because hey, why not?" At least that's what I thought you'd say after all the other features O_O. Also, great job on getting your audio worked out. Sounding really great the last few videos! You might be able to get away without the windscreen, worth a try anyway to hear what it's like. Maybe experiment with Mic placement.... Then again maybe you already tried all that! :-)
8-digit Trigger Frequency Counter... setup any A trigger (pulse width, runt, etc) and see the frequency at which its happening. Its really accurate and has the BW of the scope.
If you ever have time to do a full review, it would be nice if you spent a moment on evaluating if a sampling factor of 3.125 is really enough, most people these days are used to a factor of 5 to 10. Also imagine if they did that one with their mixed domain capabilities too...
What a fabulous scope! They have to release any code they've written that's based on GPL, right? So there's a chance that software and hardware third party accessories might be buildable - think what you could do with API access to those features. This thing as the heart of an automated test system could save hours - even at that price tag, I could see quite modest shops being able to justify getting one. Can't wait for the full review.
If they co-mingled their code with any GPL code, they legally will have to release it. Last time a large company did that and didn't release the code, it cost them almost $200m.... I'm sure they were careful to keep their proprietary code separate and I'm also sure they will release whatever code they are required to release - the downside of not doing so it just too high.
Thanks a lot for the video ! I am so lucky to get this scope at work😀. I'd like to know if there is a way to read the saved wafeworfm in csv or wfm offline with a pc. I know there is an official tool but not sure I can provide arguments to buy it. Does anybody know a tool that could help ?
It looks very nice... but I'd rather buy, say, a small country instead. Well... ok... this _is_ a spectacularly sexy scope.. The country will have to wait.
Hope you get a free sample since you missed out on the MSO4000 / 3000. BTW can you brighten up the audio as it seems a bit muffled and lifeless. Those are legit audiophool terms BTW :)
I don't understand why UI designers don't know about contrast. Is it really so hard to figure out light grey on slightly lighter grey is not a particularly clever idea? This is not just Tek, everyone from websites to Windows is doing this, the "theme" and "artsy" part of design outweighs any consideration for readability. We are paying for better and better screens that have a contrast ratio of a gazillion to one and then these fools come along and select colours that are exactly one bit different in brighness. With all the allowances and provisions made for handicapped people I really think it is high time to support the visually impaired with some minimum contrast, and for once everyone else would benefit too!
Brian from Tek here. Base price for a 4 channel version is $12,600, to add a 6 channel is only 25% more or 67% more cost for a 8 channel model. Much cheaper than buying 2 different scopes. Yes NASA, and many many many others are already buying...
That's cheap compared to some of Keysight's scopes... the DSA91304A for example, is nearly $170,000 CAD. www.keysight.com/en/pdx-x201725-pn-DSA91304A/infiniium-high-performance-oscilloscope-13-ghz and there is the now-discontinued DSAX93204A 4-channel 33GHz scope that listed for $286,000, but the daddy of them all is this beast. www.keysight.com/en/pdx-x202060-pn-DSAZ634A/infiniium-oscilloscope-63-ghz at only $600,000 CAD.
Wow!! Tek did an amazing job with this one. Thanks for the introduction.
*I am sorry about the camera auto-exposure masking some menus. During my final review I will be sure to fix this.*
If it has a DVI output maybe some of the video could be done with a DVI video capture device so we could see the display image in full HD resolution.

Get a good old CRT! Two in one!
Granted the bandwidth is pretty abysmal but it would be pretty cheap...
Yeah and you can have 32" screen oscilloscope (the largest CRT I've ever seen).
This is a PHATTT oscilloscope. Holy crap sooo good!!!
Welcome to the high-end Signal Path :))) Wooohoooo TEK 5 in the house!
I am going to wait for the mdo version, meanwhile I'll try to figure out which of the banks are easy in my neighborhood
hold up im going to see how many internal organs i dont need
Well, this is quite a product from tektronix. To be honest, I didn't know they still had it in them, but I'm pleasantly surprised.
just got one at work. pretty awesome! Im excited to try it out
Looks very nice.

Oh my thanks for sharing, this is amazing
Off to buy some lottery tickets!!!
Dino Papas
Get one for me while your at it. :-)
+1
I will take one!
Dino check this out th-cam.com/video/FpOD9g2dKjY/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1&t=3356
That is one hell of a scope, will be way out of my price range for sure!
Dear Santa,
I know I've been naughty, but...
Tektronix should have a giveaway as part of their marketing campaign...
Nice breakdown of setting up i2C buss data capture (@20 minutes)... thanks.
love the Trekkie painting
great, still wayting for the full review... any updates?
Fantastic :-)
Maybe I'm missing something at 13:30, but why would offsetting channels vertically on a standard scope remove dynamic range of the converter? I don't think that is physically adding a voltage to the vertical amplifier to offset the channel (if you put a cursor on that channel, it still reads the same magnitude before the offset), it's just a display change.
No, it is not just a display change. On most oscilloscopes it literally is adding an offset voltage and thus using up dynamic range.
Bedankt voor de video, ik ga nu kijken.
Geweldige oscilloscoop!!
Great video as always!

Thanks for sharing this. Werry interesting 👍
Great implementation. I think the font's are just the right size.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice video and good explanation 👍
What happened to the promised review? It's 2019 already. Would love to see more about this scope. It looks great. But does it have some non-obvious pitfalls (other than price)?
Porn for engineers! I love every scope made by Tektronix!
I'll need a bank loan just for the probes.
Title typo. Shows TPS instead of TSP. cheers!
Better get those TPS reports in and don't forget the new cover sheet.
Fixed! Thanks.
Tire Pressure Sensor AND a scope!
So you were never able to do the full review??? I can't find
20:21 is this LCD backlight noise picked up by your microphone through your "finger antenna"?
A very impressive instrument. Why would they offer an alternative Windows GUI. Seems like more work for no obvious benefit?
Some people like to have access to standard Windows apps on their scopes, hence the two options.
Brian from Tek here. Many people in the mainstream scope space love or hate windows. Two different customer bases, so we provided the same user interface experience with both operating systems using the same great hardware. Customers just get more selection. Cheers :)
How about fan noise ? Considering the extremely high price tag, I would expect near silent operation...
$12K for the 4 channel 350Mhz version without options (no serial triggering) and probes.
Fully packed 2GHz 8Ch version probably close to 40-50K.
6.25 Gsamples /sec? ...that is INSANE !
times 8!
Can you scope signals from hdd heads?
Wouldn't it be great if it has an optional upgrade feature for SMU?
OK, I'm sold so what is this like in the $800.00 - $900.00 range?
Awesome
Could you record a signal with Tektronix 5?
How can you compare this to keysights oscilloscope?
Did Alan (w2aew) had a hand in this design?
Decisions :) New car or oscilloscope?
1:29 ... I missed that...
" And there's an 8-digit frequency counter included, because hey, why not?" At least that's what I thought you'd say after all the other features O_O.
Also, great job on getting your audio worked out. Sounding really great the last few videos! You might be able to get away without the windscreen, worth a try anyway to hear what it's like. Maybe experiment with Mic placement.... Then again maybe you already tried all that! :-)
Hoo boy those probes..... Probably cost more than my car! What a piece of engineering this whole machine!
8-digit Trigger Frequency Counter... setup any A trigger (pulse width, runt, etc) and see the frequency at which its happening. Its really accurate and has the BW of the scope.
will it cost a kidney? or a liver?
both
Every startup should buy one of these for each employee. #they'llfundanything #seeyouattheauctions
Does it have external timebase?
Yes there is a 10MHz reference input.
If you ever have time to do a full review, it would be nice if you spent a moment on evaluating if a sampling factor of 3.125 is really enough, most people these days are used to a factor of 5 to 10.

proudsnowtiger they won't release anything publicly for sure.
If they co-mingled their code with any GPL code, they legally will have to release it. Last time a large company did that and didn't release the code, it cost them almost $200m.... I'm sure they were careful to keep their proprietary code separate and I'm also sure they will release whatever code they are required to release - the downside of not doing so it just too high.
Thanks to this new fantastic model , there will be more "older" and cheaper oscilloscopes for us on ebay :)
So, if windows is not supported any more and then in case of randsomware you pull out the HDD and hope the internal storage be uncrypted and boot...
The Linux part is likely to be using xfs or ext4 as the file system and wont be readable by windows so no problems with ransomware there.
I guess Ill just have to stay alive to see what they look like in 20 years.
Thanks a lot for the video ! I am so lucky to get this scope at work😀. I'd like to know if there is a way to read the saved wafeworfm in csv or wfm offline with a pc. I know there is an official tool but not sure I can provide arguments to buy it. Does anybody know a tool that could help ?
It looks very nice... but I'd rather buy, say, a small country instead. Well... ok... this _is_ a spectacularly sexy scope.. The country will have to wait.
i need this model but i cant buy it. i haven't enough money . can someone help me :(
Don't forget to get my shipping address so you can send it to me as soon as possible!
Stay happy with few electrons that he would ship to you!
I really don’t like the mouse arrow being present .. at least not when there’s no mouse attached
Hope you get a free sample since you missed out on the MSO4000 / 3000.
BTW can you brighten up the audio as it seems a bit muffled and lifeless. Those are legit audiophool terms BTW :)
It's not the lighting that was the problem, it was leaving the camera in autoexposure mode.
Um, a 1 GHZ passive probe? Why bother with passive, with this scope's bandwith? Ok, use it to check 9 volt battery.
User can change font if needed from Utility >> user preferences. I got an opportunity to use for couple of hours.
But... Can it run Crysis ?
can you watch netflix on it ?
This should be on pornhub!
WTF! This was a compliment. IOW porn for engineers.
I didn't know what love at first sight felt like until this video. Unfortunately she is way out of my league.
Tektronix has been working with Linux for a long time. Many of their later green-screen scopes used embedded Linux.
wowwww perfect! I want
Its Ferrari and only few peoples will enjoy the ride on it !!! We will wait to see it's internal engine
And here I am looking at a scope I'll never be able to afford 😭
Mid range at about 30,000$ ?!!
Try Teledyne Lecroy High Definition Oscilloscope and compare
I'll bet an N connector appears to the right of channel 8.
I don't understand why UI designers don't know about contrast.
Is it really so hard to figure out light grey on slightly lighter grey is not a particularly clever idea?

I don't understand why scopes of this caliber don't use a mouse or a some sort of keypad. I wouldn't want to see my dirty finger prints on the screen.
You can attach a mouse to it of course. As well as a keyboard.
Thanks for the reply. Awesome scope Mr. Signal Path.
Dear Santa...
Don't turn it on. Take it apart!
how much it cost ! ? Should I sell my Ferrari to buy this scope😂🤔
With no options (no digital channels, no function gen, etc) and 8 channels, Tek lists $21,200.
It seems like Keysight and Yokogawa
Base price: US $21,200 with the option to Configure & Quote.
Seems a little to much money, who is the buyers of this?, NASA?
Brian from Tek here. Base price for a 4 channel version is $12,600, to add a 6 channel is only 25% more or 67% more cost for a 8 channel model. Much cheaper than buying 2 different scopes. Yes NASA, and many many many others are already buying...
Welcome to the 21st century... 2017.
You must sell your flat, your car and probably your ass to get that scope! Anyway, it would be better if they decided to turn it into an MDO.
It starts from 12 grand so stay in your flat.
Rick
You will have to compromise your wallet.
It's a bargain... just £34,200.
Only USD $45,000. Looks like I'll have to stop by the bank first. After visiting the lethal weapons store.
That's cheap compared to some of Keysight's scopes... the DSA91304A for example, is nearly $170,000 CAD. www.keysight.com/en/pdx-x201725-pn-DSA91304A/infiniium-high-performance-oscilloscope-13-ghz and there is the now-discontinued DSAX93204A 4-channel 33GHz scope that listed for $286,000, but the daddy of them all is this beast. www.keysight.com/en/pdx-x202060-pn-DSAZ634A/infiniium-oscilloscope-63-ghz at only $600,000 CAD.
sure but .. 13/33ghz is a different beast then a 2ghz scope, hardly makes your comparasion viable
£34,000
+Vat
+ "options"
So let's call it £60k
Or £120k. As you'd always want to have a spare handy. :)
you get the vat back from hmrc anyway .. so that doesnt realy count
and almost no privat guy has a need for such a scope
46 grand for this scope and the trace is noisy.
Please make a review - not advertising.
Huaba Bua This is not a review. Review will come later.
Don't turn it on. Take it apart!
