Improve throughput through decomposition
The 8 series achieves an economical, adaptable, and scalable solution by utilizing the separation of collection hardware and measurement analysis. By transmitting data from the instrument to the analysis platform via high-speed Ethernet, the downtime of the oscilloscope is limited and the return on investment is maximized.


Enhance analysis using TSOVu
TSOVu is an advanced software platform that runs independently of the oscilloscope host, capable of real-time processing and post-processing of collected data. TSOVu provides effective analysis of optical signals, including support for complex measurements such as eye diagrams and TDECQ.
- Programming interface commands can be used for automation
- Parallel channel acquisition
- Intuitive and user-friendly
Save time, space, and money through modular design
Utilizing the compact design and user pluggable modules of the 8 series to optimize testing settings, in order to quickly adapt to changes in workflow and the next generation of technology. The 8 series instruments driven by higher density devices have a smaller appearance, which can significantly reduce the overall production space occupation. The TSO820 sampling oscilloscope host also has a code acquisition function that is 8 times faster than the previous generation product, thereby improving test throughput.
- 3U high, half rack width
- Scalable number of channels
- Each system has a maximum of 4 optical channels


High performance hardware
The confidence in device measurement begins with the special hardware platform of the 8 series, which enables accurate, reproducible, and reliable measurements. The 8 series optical interface module, designed with high sensitivity and low noise, is highly suitable for single-mode and multi-mode testing, especially on low-power signals.
New features will be implemented in the software version in May 2022
New mathematical engine
- Standard support for data modifiers such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
- Perform complex operations such as waveform resampling, stacking to create eye maps, and FFE configuration and equalization
- The input sources for mathematical expressions include real-time channels (streaming from TSO820), saved reference data, and other mathematical sources
- Existing analysis tools (such as measurement, histogram, scaling, etc.) fully support mathematical sources
New user-defined bandwidth
- Use the user-defined bandwidth configuration provided in BWE to view signals in a completely new way
- The 8 series optical module supports bandwidth between 7.5 GHz and 35.0 GHz, which can be adjusted in increments of 0.0001 GHz
Higher flexibility
- Additional support for more optical standards
- Improved balance and configuration in mathematics
