Feature upgrades after purchase
The 6 Series products offer many ways to easily add functionality after the initial purchase. Node-locked licenses permanently enable optional features on a single product. Floating licenses allow license-enabled options to be easily moved between compatible instruments.
Add bandwidth upgrades in the future
The analog bandwidth of 6 Series products can be upgraded after initial purchase. Bandwidth upgrades are purchased based on the number of FlexChannels, the current bandwidth and the desired bandwidth. All bandwidth upgrades can be performed in the field by installing a software license and a new front panel label.

Finding root cause of EMI signals with Spectrum View
See how to track down the source of transient RF/EMI emissions with Spectrum View and the RF vs Time triggering capabilities. Clearly determine which PCB signals are causing EMI emissions so that you can pass compliance testing quicker and easier.
The Spectrum View capability on the 4, 5 and 6 Series MSO oscilloscopes can perform edge, pulse width and time-out triggers on RF vs Time waveforms.
