The Tektronix TDS754 is a 500 MHz, 2 GS/s quad-channel digital storage scope.

Key Specifications

Bandwidth and Channels	500 MHz; 2 Channels
Vertical Sensitivity	1 mV to 10 V/div with calibrated fine adjustment
Time Base Range	500 ps to 10 s/div
Sample Rate	2.0 GS/s on 1 channel ; 2.0 GS/s on 2 channels ; 1 GS/s on 3 or 4 channels
Record Length	50 K points each channel
Record Length (1M Option)	500 K points on 1 channel; 250 k points on 2 channels ; 130 k points on 3 or 4 channels
Record Length (2M Option)	8 M points on 1 channel; 4 M points on 2 channels ; 2 M points on 3 or 4 channels
Interface	GPIB standard ; RS-232 interface ; Centronics interface

Internals

Note that the TDS754C&D and TDS784C&D series are nearly identical, with the differences being in front-panel cosmetics and the presence (754) or absence (784) of a few capacitors on the acquisition board. The only other difference is the position of instrument ID jumpers, also on the acquisition board. In fact, it is entirely possible to convert a 754 to a 784 (see abVe Links and the TDS784 page for more information).

Important notice for TDS700D Series: Checking of acquisition board variant is very important — the CPU Board with Firmware 7.xx cannot be used together with the acquisition board, and the CPU board with old Firmware 6.xx doesn't run with the new acquisition board. In this case is both boards's part number "671-4349-00". It tells: It is not safetly indicator for difference firmware.
