What it is

The Tektronix DSA 70804 B is a digital serial analyzer and oscilloscope in the DSA70000 Series. The DSA 70804 B has 8 GHz analog bandwidth, 25 GS/s analog sample rate, 31 MS standard memory, and 4 analog channels.[3]

How it works

The DPO/DSA/MSO70000 Series provides real-time acquisition on all four channels simultaneously. The series includes Pinpoint triggering, Search & Mark waveform pattern matching, and 6.25 Gb/s real-time serial trigger capability. The series also supports long record lengths, with the DSA70000 Series providing 31 MS standard memory and optional memory depths up to 125 MS on the 4, 6, and 8 GHz models.[3]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Oscilloscopes of this class are used in engineering labs, development environments, and electronic manufacturing test areas rather than as wafer-processing tools. Such instruments typically sit alongside device bring-up, board verification, interface debug, and subsystem validation steps that occur before or around integration into larger systems.
