Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes
TDS5000B Series
The iView™ Wizard simplifies this integra-
tion of the oscilloscope and logic analyzer
by guiding the user through set up and
connection. No user calibration is
required. And, once set up, the iView
feature is completely automated. The
result – an integrated tool set for digital
design and troubleshooting.
Power Measurements
The TDS5000B Series’ powerful and flex-
ible measurements, math, and math-on-
math capabilities make it an ideal solution
for making power measurements, such
as voltage, current, instantaneous power
and energy for power device designers.
Communications Mask Testing
Option SM provides a complete portfolio
of masks for verifying compliance to serial
communications standards. Masks are
provided for electrical standards up to
555 Mb/s and optical standards up to
1.25 Gb/s. Easily tailor mask testing to
your specific requirements using features
such as one-button mask autoset, autofit,
user adjustable mask margin tolerance,
hit counting, failure notifications and built-
in mask editing.
Video Design
Tektronix exclusive DPX® acquisition tech-
nology sets the TDS5000B Series apart
from other digital oscilloscopes, enabling
the capture of up to 100,000 waveforms
per seconds for a live, analog-like display.
The TDS5000B Series also supports
a wide variety of video standards with
dedicated triggers including NTSC, PAL,
SECAM and analog HDTV. In addition,
IRE and mV graticules can be selected
for easier measurements and visual
inspection. All of this together makes
the TDS5000B Series an ideal tool for
video design and development.
Power Measurements. Channel 1 (yellow,
labeled Voltage) shows the turn-off voltage
on the FET of a switching power supply,
with current on Channel 2 (blue, labeled
Current). The Math 1 waveform, M1 (orange,
labeled Power), is the instantaneous power
resulting from the multiplication of the
voltage and current waveforms (Ch. 1 *
Ch. 2). The Math 2 waveform, M2 (purple,
labeled Energy), is the result of a calculation
of the integral of M1, a math-on-math
operation of the TDS5000B Series. An
energy measurement, located to the right
of the display, is a gated measurement
made on M1 and includes statistics.
