Tektronix, a leading Test & Measurement company, began the process of redesigning their line of oscilloscopes. The product line began transitioning from a design style dominated by many physical controls and small non-touch enabled screens to a design that featured reduced physical controls and large touchscreens. This design was premiered with the release of Tektronix’ 5 Series MSO Mixed Signal Oscilloscope in 2017.

In 2018 the 6 Series MSO Mixed Signal Oscilloscope was released offering higher bandwidth measurement capabilities to customers. This product heavily leveraged the design and features of the 5 Series MSO Mixed Signal Oscilloscope but has unique physical features that help to differentiate it from it’s predecessor.
