The Tektronix documentation indicates that the TDS series scopes are in fact multiple series but a note in this page suggests otherwise.
I have a TDS2012B and it's great - after 10+ years without calibration, the frequency counter is still spot on reading 10.000MHz from my reference.
I was going to start splitting out this page to help - but I thought I should drop a note in here while I read around and learn more.
You'll be kicking me for spelling colour here - I'll try to get myself to get over the grimacing and use another spelling for the final cut!

The catagories macro doesn't seem to be very useful in creating meaning ful pages...
