Having been a life long fan of Tektronix instruments going back to the 545 scope, it it really awesome what they have developed over the years. It was never affordable for the average hobbyist, but thanks to the longevity of well built equipment, I am proud to own several still amazing Tek products. It's good to see where the state of the art is, even when it's beyond my reach.

Thanks for taking the time and your knowledge of this fascinating subject.I know pretty much nothing about this but I have to start somewhere,and now you've got my curiosity up!

Yeah... pictures of places I ain't never gonna visit! :-) Impressive integration of hardware and software.

man, that is a beautiful and powerful instrument.

I still might need a while before I can use and understand one of these. But thank you for the video. Much appreciated!

Fascinating....... Most of it went whistling over my head at 30,000 ft, but still fascinating..... Thanks.....

Great tool- Would be interested in hearing more about the audio analysis in signal view.

Thank you for sharing a glimpse of this device. That is an amazing piece of equipment! - 73 KJ7WC

What an instrument - very nice - thanks for showing us.

A very impressive bit of kit as Dave Jones would say. Obviously the MDO4000 Series is a piece of test equipment designed for the Engineering Lab which possesses capabilities far beyond the needs of any hobbyist. Still the video was fun to watch. I wish Tek the best selling it.

***** Dave did a review of the first variant of the MDO4000. He didn't go into the depth that Alan has in this video. I'm sure the unit Dave had was a short term loaner so he didn't have much in the way of time. Nor do I think Dave has the depth of background in RF and Oscilloscope signal work that Alan possesses. Thus Alan was able to put the MDO4000B's best foot forward and demonstrate to the viewer what the machine is capable of doing. One thing Dave did point out is the optional interface modules that are quite pricey ! IIRC there are 5 modules available each costing 10 Grand ! So this unit could easily run the user 50 Grand all decked out. Again this unit is for a Professional Engineering Lab doing very demanding work. The type of work one finds at a DOD vendor. They are the ones that can drop 50 Grand easily. If its needed they will spend it.

These make great presents. Just say'n. If you are wondering what to get me...

very nice you are the man.

This is nice!

I'm the 25th viewer (11001) of the #125, and the 1 byte (256) like! Funny :P

That is amazing. Could the new 3 series MDO oscilloscopes also do that analysis on the PC software? Or only the new 4 series MSO?

No. This is unique to the MDO4000. Same can be done with a 5 or 6 Series, but the scope BW must exceed to RF signal frequency.

Hi Alan what is the differences between MDO4104B & MDO4104C Thanks

@w2aew

The main difference is that the MDO4104C adds an optional single-channel arbitrary function generator and DVM measurements on the analog scope channels. The "C" model is fully upgradeable - all additional features (digital channels, wideband spectrum analyzer, DVM, AFG, etc. are all user installable options.

Yea what he said. W4GSM

Very nice video. It's only $30K, bargain.

The top of the line MDO is just under $30K, but there are MDOs that start at about $12K. Yes, still outside the budget of hobbyists though.
