TDS5034: Difference between revisions

The '''Tektronix TDS5034''' is a four-channel, 350 MHz, 5 GS/s digital phosphor oscilloscope with a 10.4 in. LCD active-matrix color display.  This series of scopes combines 100,000 wfms/s continuous waveform capture rate and real-time intensity grading so you can see the problem and solve it.  An optional touch screen was available for all models but was standard on the TDS5054B and TDS5104B.  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 ports, two PS-2 ports (Keyboard, Mouse), two VGA connectors, one Parallel port, GPIB, RJ-45, Serial port, line out, line in, and microphone in, and a CD-ROM drive (Opt 16 replaces it with a CD-RW drive), and the Rear panel has a EXT REF (time base reference input), AUX OUT (auxiliary trigger pulse output), and SIGNAL OUT (buffered CH 3 signal on the TDS5054 and TDS5104 only).

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.
