About Tektronix 5 Series MSO Sveiflusjá

Tektronix 5 Series MSO er sveiflusjá fyrir blönduð merki, hönnuð fyrir snertistjórnun. Tækið er notað til að fylgjast með breytingum á rafmerkjum. 15,6 tommu háskerpuskjár gerir kleift að framkvæma flestar aðgerðir á skjánum, þannig að fjöldi hnappa og takka er minnkaður. Þær stjórntakkar sem eftir standa veita snertiendurgjöf. Notendaviðmótið býður upp á snertiinntak, sjónræna og tölfræðilega endurgjöf og samhengisbundna lausn vandamála. Læsanlegir samanbrjótanlegir fætur gera kleift að stilla sjónarhornið og halda því föstu.

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award í gulli

Tektronix 5 Series MSO Sveiflusjá vann A' Design Award í gulli, óendanlega virta viðurkenningu sem veitt er fyrsta flokks, dásamlegum og framúrskarandi hönnunarverkum. Sigurvegarar í gulli eru afar nýstárleg, framsýn og töfrandi glæsileg sköpunarverk sem endurspegla snilld, visku og hæfni hönnuða sinna. Þess er vænst að Tektronix 5 Series MSO Sveiflusjá sé mjög lofuð, brautryðjandi og stórfengleg uppfinning sem skilar fordæmislausu virði. Þetta hönnunarverk sem vann A' Design Award í gulli er stórbrotið, virt verkefni sem gagnast mörkum listar, vísinda, hönnunar og tækni mjög vel og færir þau fram á við.

Unique Properties
The first oscilloscope designed for touch from the ground up, the Tektronix 5 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) features multiple patent-pending design elements offering a revolutionary experience with unparalleled digital visibility. An enhanced user interface provides intuitive touch input, visual and statistical feedback, and improved contextual problem-solving. With a 15.6-inch HD display, 5 Series MSO allows most functions to be performed on screen, minimizing knobs and buttons.

Production Technology
The new 15.6-inch HD display allows most functions to be performed on screen, minimizing knobs and buttons. The limited knobs and buttons offer haptic feedback interaction without interrupting the user flow of typical access points. Unique to the 5 Series MSO and an industry first, are the locking foldable feet (patent-pending) that give users more viewing angle flexibility by making simple adjustments to the feet and then locking them into place.
Design Challenge
Since scientists, engineers, and technicians are using test and measurement equipment to observe the change of electrical signals, they heavily rely on performance accuracy, speed, and ease of use. The design team was challenged with developing a long-lasting oscilloscope that would live for 10+ years, a typical oscilloscope lifespan.
Research
In collaboration with Tektronix, the design team traveled all around the US and to five countries to research and understand the user experience. The team identified core design traits based on their research: approachable and easy; trustworthy and durable; and powerful and precise. Collaborative prototyping and user testing were critical in developing the information architecture (IA), user experience (UX), user interface (UI), and industrial design.
Inspiration
A leader in the design and manufacturing test and measurement equipment industry, Tektronix wanted to elevate their oscilloscope product line. The main objective was to create a next-generation, approachable usability solution while retaining an appropriate amount of Tektronix heritage. Since scientists, engineers, and technicians are using test and measurement equipment to observe the change of electrical signals, they heavily rely on performance accuracy, speed, and ease of use.
Project Duration
The project was designed in September 2016 in Seattle, Washington, USA and produced in September 2017 in Beaverton, Oregon, USA.
Operation Flow
A seamless solution blending the new hardware and software, the 5 Series MSO uses panel controls, or mouse to analyze and manage multiple signals. The design team created a user interface providing intuitive touch input, visual and statistical feedback, and improved contextual problem-solving. Operating a highly technical machine can be overwhelmingly complex. The 5 Series MSO offers engineers a dramatic improvement in usability.
