TDS3034
The Tektronix TDS3034 is a four-channel, 300 MHz, 2.5 GS/s digital phosphor oscilloscope with a TFT color screen. This series of scopes combines 3,600 wfms/s continuous waveform capture rate and real-time intensity grading so you can see the problem and solve it. An External trigger input, Ethernet port, and USB port round out base inputs and outputs until the optional TDS3GV Communication Module is added which adds GPIB, RS-232-C, and VGA video ports. It can run without AC power for up to three hours when TDS3BATC rechargeable lithium ion battery pack is installed.
Up to four Applications modules can be added to the upper right corner to transform the oscilloscope into a specialized instrument for limit testing, telecommunications mask testing, and video troubleshooting. These include the TDS3AAM Advanced Analysis Module, TDS3LIM Limit Testing Module, TDS3TMT Telecommunications Mask Testing Module, TDS3VID Extended Video Analysis Module, and TDS3SDI 601 Serial/Digital Video Module. The TDS3014, TDS3034, and TDS3054 also had available the TDS3FFT FFT Analysis and Measurement, and TDS3TRG Advanced Triggering modules. (NOTE: The TDS3FFT and TDS3TRG modules are no longer available so Tektronix now provides these capabilities standard with SW V.3.39)
Easy access to the MATH MENU button provides waveform adjustments (CH1-CH2, CH2-CH1, CH1+CH2) along with FFT (spectrum, harmonics, distortion, noise, impulse, vibration) measurements. Measurements can also be performed for time (frequency) and voltage (amplitude). Repetitive signals can be captured and averaged to remove noise, or captured as a single-shot signal.
Acquisition Modes include DPO, Peak Detect, WaveAlert, Sample, Average, Envelop, and Single Sequence.
Triggering of signal capturing is available through a comprehensive TRIG MENU providing Edge (rising or falling), Video (NTSC, PAL, SECAM), Extended Video (specific lines in broadcast or non-broadcast standard, and analog HDTV formats), Pulse Width (or Glitch) triggering, Runt, Slew Rate, Pattern (AND, OR, NAND, NOR), State (logic state), Comm (pulse), or Alternate. Coupling selections are AC, DC, Noise Reject, HF Reject, LF Reject.
