TDS5054

The Tektronix TDS5054 is a four-channel, 500 MHz, 5 GS/s digital phosphor oscilloscope with a 10.4" LCD active-matrix color display. This series of scopes combines 100,000 wfms/s continuous waveform capture rate and real-time intensity grading. An optional touch screen was available for all models but was standard on the TDS5054B and TDS5104B. TDS5054B-NV is a variant without touch screen. The operating system is Windows 2000.

Besides the channel inputs, the AUX IN (auxiliary trigger), and Floppy drive, the left side panel has two USB connectors, two PS-2 ports (keyboard, mouse), two VGA Connector, one Parallel printer interface, GPIB, Ethernet (RJ-45), RS-232 interface, line out, line in, and microphone in, and a CD-ROM drive (Opt 16 replaces it with a CD-RW drive). The rear panel has an EXT REF (time base reference) input, AUX OUT (auxiliary trigger pulse output), and SIGNAL OUT (buffered CH 3 signal output).

Applications modes available are FastAcq Acquisition (optimizes the instrument for analysis of dynamic signals and capture of infrequent events), Sample, Peak Detect (captures narrow glitches <1 ns at all real-time sample rates), Averaging (from 2 to 10,000 waveforms included in average), Envelope (from 2 to 10,000 waveforms included in min-max envelope), Hi-Res (real-time boxcar averaging reduces random noise and increases resolution), Waveform Database (accumulates a waveform database that provides a three-dimensional array of amplitude, time, and counts), and FastFrame Acquisition (acquisition memory divided into segments, maximum trigger rate >100,000 waveforms per second).

There are many options for signal acquisition, measurement, and analysis. The Overview section of the user manual is a great place to become familiar with the many functions available in the use of this sophisticated instrument.
