Tektronix 2 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Reimagines Performance and Portability

Tektronix unveiled the 2 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO), reimagining what is possible in test and measurement. The new 2 Series MSO can go seamlessly from the bench to the field and back, enabling workflows previously unimagined on a scope. It is the first portable oscilloscope to offer benchtop performance with a familiar Tektronix user interface. Weighing less than 1.8kgs and 38mm thin, the 2 Series MSO can fit into a small backpack, delivering unmatched performance and portability.

When Ethan Winer found himself in need of an oscilloscope, he turned to the Internet for advice and ended up selecting LabNation’s SmartScope. Described by its makers as “the oscilloscope of the new generation” the device, originally funded by a Kickstarter campaign, is targeted at makers and hobbyists, as well as professional engineers. In his review, Winer explains why this digital oscilloscope, signal generator — analog and digital — and eight-channel logic analyzer from LabNation turned out to be perfect solution for his needs.
