MPO-2000 Series – Programmable Multifunction Oscilloscope 200 MHz, 2/4-Channel

MPO-2000 Series – Programmable Multifunction Oscilloscope

GW Instek introduces the MPO-2000 series, named after Multi-function Programmable Oscilloscope. More than a conventional oscilloscope, the MPO-2000 integrates five instruments into a single platform: an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, arbitrary waveform generator, digital multimeter, and DC power supply.

5-in-1 multifunction architecture and advanced automation

In addition to its five-in-one architecture, the MPO-2000 series features an innovative Python scripting capability. This allows users to design and control compact automated test systems by configuring single-function or multifunction tests without the need for an external PC, which is the origin of the MPO designation.

Python script execution

• Support for up to 100 installed Python applications, including pre-installed apps
• Direct execution of Python source files (.py) from internal storage or USB flash drives
• Ideal for measurement automation, advanced data processing, and rapid test development

Component tester – I-V curve tracing

The MPO-2000 provides an integrated I-V curve tracer application with scaled readout.
This function is implemented using the oscilloscope’s XY mode, enabling waveform accumulation.

• Utilizes the two built-in DC power supply outputs
• The Pro version supports external DC power supplies via USB CDC-ACM
• Suitable for characterizing discrete components and semiconductor devices

MQTT protocol support

The MPO-2000 supports the MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol.

• Publisher mode: measurement data transmission to the cloud
• Subscriber mode: remote monitoring and control of the oscilloscope
• Seamless integration into IoT-based and networked test environments

Serial bus decoding

• Basic version: CAN FD, USB 2.0 (Full Speed)
• Pro version: CAN FD, USB 2.0 (FS), FlexRay, USB Power Delivery, I²S

No additional options are required for decoding and analyzing next-generation automotive, USB, and audio protocols.

Dual-channel spectrum analyzer with spectrogram

In addition to time-domain measurements, the MPO-2000 series offers advanced frequency-domain analysis.

• Two-channel spectrum analyzer
• Integrated spectrogram function
• Simultaneous dual-channel frequency analysis
• Intuitive visualization of signal power distribution over time

Typical applications include low-frequency to VHF wireless communications, audio processing, vibration analysis, and abnormal resonance detection in mechanical equipment.

Python GUI library support

• The Basic version supports Python applications with GUI drawing and scaling
• Test parameters can be adjusted for different devices under test
• The Pro version allows users to modify Python scripts directly
• GUI libraries enable scalable plotting with customizable colors and layouts

USB CDC-ACM support for collaborative multi-unit testing

The MPO-2000P supports USB CDC-ACM to enable single-unit and multi-unit collaborative testing without an additional PC.

• Direct programming via a USB keyboard
• Measurement results displayed as graphical plots
• Data export in CSV, image formats, or upload to the cloud
• Python scripts enable advanced data processing and analysis
