The Tektronix MSO2000B and DPO2000B Series is a family of mixed signal oscilloscopes that delivers advanced debug features at an entry-level price. The series offers up to 200 MHz of bandwidth and a 1 GS/s sample rate, with up to 20 channels available for analyzing analog and digital signals together. A deep record length of 1 Mpoint comes standard on all channels, letting you capture long windows of signal activity while maintaining fine timing resolution.
An oscilloscope captures voltage waveforms over time and displays them on screen, giving an engineer a direct view of a signal's amplitude, frequency, timing, and shape. This series is built to speed every stage of debugging a complex design — discovering an anomaly, capturing it, searching the waveform record for the event, and analyzing the device's behavior. Its tools target the infrequent problems common in digital systems, including runt pulses, glitches, and timing issues, and support troubleshooting of system-level interactions in complex embedded systems.
ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois, where we have specialized in new and used test and measurement equipment since 1992.
Tektronix was founded in 1946 in Oregon and built its reputation on oscilloscope technology. In 2007 it became a subsidiary of Danaher Corporation, and in 2016 it moved under Fortive Corporation following Fortive's spinoff from Danaher. The Tektronix brand itself has remained constant throughout.
The MSO2000B and DPO2000B Series groups twelve models on a common platform: a 1 GS/s sample rate on all channels, a 1 Mpoint record length on every channel, a 5,000 wfm/s maximum waveform capture rate, and Wave Inspector navigation and search. The DPO models are digital phosphor oscilloscopes, while the MSO models add 16 integrated digital channels for mixed-signal analysis.
Within that shared platform, the models step through three bandwidth tiers and two analog-channel counts, so a buyer can match bandwidth and channel requirements without changing instrument family or learning a different user interface.
Each new model below is its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Use the comparison table to identify the bandwidth, channel count, and MSO or DPO configuration you need, then open that model's page to see its current new availability.
The family separates along three axes. Bandwidth runs 70 MHz, 100 MHz, or 200 MHz, with corresponding rise-time specifications of 5 ns, 3.5 ns, and 2.1 ns. Analog channel count is either 2 or 4, with the model number's final digit indicating the channel count (a model ending in 2 is two-channel; ending in 4 is four-channel).
The MSO prefix designates models that add 16 digital channels to the corresponding DPO model; the DPO prefix designates the digital phosphor oscilloscope without those digital channels. Sample rate (1 GS/s), record length (1 Mpoint), and maximum waveform capture rate (5,000 wfm/s) are identical across every model. See the comparison table for the exact bandwidth, rise time, and channel configuration of each model.
| Model | Bandwidth | Analog Channels | Digital Channels |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSO2004B | 70 MHz | 4 | 16 |
| DPO2002B | 70 MHz | 2 | 0 |
| DPO2004B | 70 MHz | 4 | 0 |
| DPO2012B | 100 MHz | 2 | 0 |

Important: The optional 10/100 Ethernet (LAN) port and Video Out port require the DPO2CONN module.
Important: Serial protocol triggering and analysis (I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, and RS-232/422/485/UART) is optional and requires the appropriate application module (DPO2AUTO, DPO2COMP, DPO2EMBD, or the DPO2BND bundle). It is offered free for a 30-day trial that starts automatically when the instrument is first powered on.
Important: Bandwidth is 20 MHz at 2 mV/div on all models.
Important: To use TekVPI active, differential, or current probes on the MSO/DPO2000B, the oscilloscope requires a TekVPI external power supply (119-7465-xx / 119-8726-xx), one per oscilloscope, plus an appropriate power cord for the country of use.
Important: On the DPO2EMBD module, only two-wire SPI support is available on two-channel models.
Important: Parallel bus triggering is available on MSO models only.
Important: The five-year warranty covers all parts and labor, excluding probes.
Recommended pairing: the TekVPI active, differential, and current probes in the recommended accessories list — such as the TAP1500, TDP0500, and TCP0030A — extend the series to high-voltage, differential, and current measurements.
