CSA8000
Tektronix TDS/CSA8000
The mainframes of the TDS8000 series are equivalent time sampling oscilloscopes which accept sampling modules of the 80Exx or 80Cxx families, enabling electrical sampling up to 70 GHz, optical sampling in various wavelengths and TDR sampling up to 50 GHz. With available iConnect dongle and a TDR sampling module, the TDS8000 scopes are enabled to work as pulse based vector network analyzers. Auxiliary modules of the 80Axx series extended the functionality to further special applications.
Discontinued in 2023, with the DSA8300, they are up till now the last and final iteration of electrical sampling scopes made by Tek.

TekProbe Sampling
With the introduction of the TDS8000 series, a special version of the TekProbe-L3 interface was created, the TekProbe-Sampling interface. Different to the previous "dumb" sampling plugins of the 'S-' or 'SD-' series, the sampling modules of the 80 series have more in common with TekProbe level 3 probes like the P7000 series probes. With their own internal microcontroller and intelligence they feature a much more comprehensive set of cal constants, compensation features and became even somewhat "hotswap" capable within the DSA8300.
