The TDS 500D/TDS 700D Family

of Digital Phosphor

Oscilloscopes

The TDS 500D/700D oscillo-

scopes are the first in the

TDS family of Digital Phos-

phor Oscilloscopes (DPOs)

designed to keep pace with

current and evolving needs in

advanced electronic design

and debug. DPOs deliver a

new level of insight that

makes dealing with complex

signals elementary – a new

level of insight that must be

seen to be believed.

DPOs capture, store, display,

and analyze, in real-time,

three dimensions of signal

information: amplitude, time,

and distribution of amplitude

over time. The benefit of this

new third dimension of infor-

mation is an interpretation of

the signal dynamics, includ-

ing instantaneous changes

and the frequency of occur-

rence displayed in the form

of quantitative intensity

information.

EASY TO LEARN AND EASY TO USE

Extensive user interface

design has made the TDS

family of products truly intu-

itive to operate. Each family

member shares a familiar

front panel layout with dedi-

cated vertical, horizontal, and

trigger controls. A graphical

user interface with over 200

icons helps facilitate under-

standing and use of the

advanced features. A color

monitor helps rapidly distin-

guish between multiple

waveforms and measure-

ments. On-line help provides

a convenient built-in refer-

ence manual.

A traditional DSO is unable to display the details and dynamic changes of this composite video waveform. The same composite video signal, captured with a Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope, shows all the details of this complex waveform, in real-time. HIGH FIDELITY SIGNAL ACQUISITION The high waveform capture rate of the TDS 500D/700D DPO series, together with its high bandwidth and sample rate, delivers instantaneous signal feedback to show the true signals that other scopes may be missing.

The horizontal histogram of the selected region of the waveform shows the character of a metastable flip-flop output. A SONET/SDH (OC-3/STM-1) signal is compared with the standard mask, showing a compliant waveform. COMPLEMENTARY MEASUREMENT ACCESSORIES Tektronix provides a wide range of measurement accessories optimized for the TDS family. These accessories are designed to operate via the TEKPROBE® interface, which provides power and automatic scaling, to complete the DPO measurement solutions.
