The Tektronix MSO2000 and DPO2000 Series are digital phosphor oscilloscopes (DPOs) built to visualize signals and find answers quickly. The DPO2000 Series provides 1 M points of usable record length on all channels, serial trigger and decode analysis options, and a variable low-pass filter, all in a compact form factor. The MSO2000 Series adds 16 integrated digital channels, allowing analog and digital signals to be visualized and time-correlated on a single instrument and extending triggering functionality across all 20 channels for debugging mixed analog and digital designs.
These oscilloscopes are applied to embedded design and debug, mixed signal design and debug, power measurements, automotive electronics, education and training, and video design and debug. Serial data analysis in embedded system design is among the most common applications that call for the series' long record length, as more embedded systems replace wide parallel buses with serial buses such as I2C, SPI, RS-232/422/485/UART, CAN, and LIN.
ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois, where the company has specialized in test and measurement equipment since 1992. Every used unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer — so buyers get a condition-appropriate instrument backed by people who know the equipment.
Tektronix, founded in 1946, was acquired by Danaher Corporation in 2007 and became part of Fortive Corporation when Fortive was spun off from Danaher in 2016. The Tektronix brand has continued under its own name throughout these corporate transitions.
The MSO2000 and DPO2000 Series group six digital phosphor oscilloscopes into one family that shares a common platform: 1 GS/s sample rate, 1 M point record length on all channels, a 5,000 wfm/s waveform capture rate, Wave Inspector navigation and search, and the FilterVu variable low-pass filter. The DPO2000 models are digital phosphor oscilloscopes, while the MSO2000 models add 16 integrated digital channels for mixed-signal design and analysis.
Across the series, models differ in analog bandwidth and analog channel count, and the MSO variants extend triggering and analysis across as many as 20 time-correlated channels. Because the platform is shared, a measurement workflow learned on one model transfers directly to the others in the family.
Each model linked below is its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing for the pre-owned configuration you select. Compare bandwidth, analog channel count, and the mixed-signal option across the family, then choose the specific model and condition that fit your application.
The family splits along two axes. Analog bandwidth steps from 100 MHz on the MSO2012, MSO2014, DPO2012, and DPO2014 to 200 MHz on the MSO2024 and DPO2024. Analog channel count is 2 on the MSO2012 and DPO2012 and 4 on the MSO2014, MSO2024, DPO2014, and DPO2024.
The MSO designation adds 16 digital channels along with parallel bus trigger and analysis, which the DPO models do not include; all six models share the 1 GS/s sample rate and 1 M point record length. Refer to the comparison table below for the per-model bandwidth, channel-count, and calculated rise-time figures.
| Model | Bandwidth | Analog Channels | Digital Channels |
|---|---|---|---|
| DPO2024 | 200 MHz | 4 | 0 |
| MSO2012 | 100 MHz | 2 | 16 |
| MSO2014 | 100 MHz | 4 | 16 |
| MSO2024 | 200 MHz | 4 | 16 |

Important: Maximum input voltage (analog channels): 300 VRMS with peaks ≤ 450 V.
Important: Optional LAN/Ethernet (10/100Base-T) and Video Out connectivity is not built in: the LAN port and the Video Out (DB-15) port both require the DPO2CONN adapter, ordered separately.
Important: GPIB is not built in: adapting the rear-panel USB 2.0 device port to GPIB requires the TEK-USB-488 adapter, ordered separately.
Important: Direct attachment of TekVPI current probes requires the TekVPI External Power Supply (Tektronix part number 119-7465-xx), one per oscilloscope.
Important: Please specify power plug and manual version when ordering.
Important: Probes and accessories are not covered by the oscilloscope warranty and Service Offerings; refer to the datasheet of each probe and accessory model for its unique warranty and calibration terms.
Recommended pairing: add TekVPI active, differential, or current probes such as the TAP1500, TDP0500, or TCP0030 for automatic scaling and units through the TekVPI probe interface.
