Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes
TDS5000 Series
The TDS5000 Series digital phosphor oscilloscopes deliver up to 1 GHz bandwidth, 5 GS/s
real-time sample rate, 8 MB record length and
100,000 wfms/s maximum waveform capture
rate.This performance,along with an industry-leading suite of advanced triggers, intuitive
user interface, and an open Microsoft
Windows platform, all in a compact bench-top
package, provides exceptional value.
Digital Phosphor
Oscilloscopes
Digital phosphor oscilloscopes provide
unmatched insight into signal behavior by displaying, storing and analyzing complex signals
in real-time using three dimensions of signal
information: amplitude, time and distribution of
amplitude over time.
The TDS5000 Series digital phosphor oscilloscopes deliver fast waveform capture rates,
enabled by Tektronix proprietary DPX
™
acquisition technology,saving minutes, hours or
even days by quickly revealing the nature of
faults so sophisticated trigger modes can be
applied to isolate them.
Intuitive User Interface
The TDS5000 Series graphical user interface
readily adapts to any operating style and environment, making the oscilloscope easy to
learn and easy to use. Classic analog-style
controls provide instant, front-panel access to
the most frequently used functions while the
large 10.4 in. (264 mm) display and extensive
use of intuitive icons create a highly visual
environment with explicit illustration of
instrument features.

The TDS5000 Series Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes Deliver
High-performance Features At An Unprecedented Price
Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes
TDS5000 Series
Users can select traditional instrument-style
buttons for navigation or switch to a Microsoft
Windows menu bar. Waveform positions, cursor locations and trigger level can be directly
changed using a mouse or optional touch
screen.A graphical drag-box can be used to
select a waveform area for zooming, histogram analysis or measurement gating.
The USB interface allows a mouse, keyboard
and other peripherals to be added without
powering off the instrument.A context-sensitive help program supplements graphic control
windows and encourages users to apply
advanced capabilities to solve their problems.
And an innovative software package provides
voice-controlled, multi-lingual operation of
the instrument.
Open Microsoft
Windows Architecture
The TDS5000 Series combines a high performance oscilloscope and a PC in a self-contained unit.With DPX
™
acquisition technology,
an open Windows desktop and application
programming interfaces (API) for Windows
and UNIX, this series provides exceptionally
fast data acquisition, analysis and
network accessibility.
By using the embedded PCI bus, waveform
data can be moved directly from acquisition
to analysis applications on the Windows desktop at much faster speeds than conventional
GPIB transfers.
The analysis and connectivity software of the
Tektronix TDS5000 Series oscilloscopes provide a comprehensive software infrastructure
for faster, more versatile operations. Tektronix’
implementation of industry-standard protocols,
such as TekVISA and ActiveX Controls,are
included for using and enhancing Windows
applications such as Excel for data analysis
and documentation. Or, create custom software to automate multi-step processes in
waveform collection and analysis with Visual
BASIC, C, C++, MATLAB
®
and other common
Application Development Environments (ADE).
Integration of the oscilloscope with external
PCs and non-Windows hosts is also supported
by the TDS5000 Series software solutions.
Plug-and-play drivers are included to enable
easy communication with the oscilloscope
using GPIB, Serial, and LAN connections from
LabVIEW and Lab Windows programs running
on external PCs. UNIX applications, and other
LAN resources, can connect directly using
the VXI 11.2 server included on the
TDS5000 Series.
Additional Benefits
The TDS5000 Series includes virtually all
modern standard interfaces for control and
peripheral expansion.An optional built-in
printer provides snapshot and long banner
print-outs of waveform and measurement
results.An optional CD-RW drive provides
convenient and portable mass storage, making
data transfer much easier for the user who
does not connect the oscilloscope to the network via the standard LAN connection.
Interoperability of the TDS5000 Series with
Tektronix logic analyzers enables a time-correlated view of analog and digital signals to
quickly track down elusive signal integrity
problems in designs.

Elusive Glitch. Fast waveform capture rate,
enabled by Tektronix proprietary DPX
™
acquisition technology,maximizes the
probability of capturing elusive glitches
and other infrequent events.
Intuitive User Interface. Whatever your
personal preferences, needs or application
environment, the TDS5000 Series offers
multiple ways to operate the instrument
– classic, analog-style knobs, familiar pulldown menus, mouse, optional touch screen
and voice commands.

Applications
The TDS5000 Series’ high performance features make it ideal for a multitude of applications, such as digital design and debug, power
measurements and video design.
Digital Design and Debug
The interoperability of the TDS5000 Series
oscilloscope with the Tektronix TLA600 logic
analyzer made possible by Tektronix Integrated
View (iView) enables digital designers to solve
signal integrity challenges and effectively
debug and verify their systems more quickly
and easily.iView fully integrates the industryleading performance and measurement accuracy of a Tektronix oscilloscope with the multichannel and powerful triggering capabilities of
a Tektronix logic analyzer. This integration
allows designers to view time-correlated digital and analog data in the same display window and isolate the analog characteristics of
the digital signals that are causing failures in
their systems.The iView Wizard simplifies this
integration of the oscilloscope and logic
analyzer by guiding the user through set up
and connection.
No user calibration is required.And, once set
up, iView is completely automated. The
result – an integrated tool set for digital
design and troubleshooting.
Embedded Design
With its long record length, high sample rate
and intuitive zoom model, the TDS5000 Series
simplifies the characterization of today’s highspeed digital buses, making it an ideal tool for
critical timing measurements in embedded
design applications.
Power Measurements
The TDS5000 Series’ powerful and flexible
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.
Video Design
Tektronix exclusive DPX™acquisition technology sets the TDS5000 Series apart from other
digital oscilloscopes, enabling the capture of
up to 100,000 waveforms per seconds for a
live, analog-like display.The TDS5000 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 TDS5000 Series an
ideal tool for video design and development.

Digital Design and Debug. Tektronix
Integrated View (iView) fully integrates
the performance and measurement accuracy
of a Tektronix oscilloscope with the multichannel and powerful triggering capabilities
of a Tektronix logic analyzer in one display,
allowing designers to quickly verify and
debug their designs.
Embedded Design. A source synchronous,
double-pumped bus. Channel 1 (yellow) is
the clock signal,Channel 2 (blue) is the
strobe signal and Channel 3 (pink) is a data
line.The upper half of the graticule shows a
long acquisition of a write-cycle,enabling
designers to gauge the throughput efficiency
of their systems by comparing live writing
time with dead time.The bottom half of the
graticule shows a zoomed-in view of a small
slice of time in the upper graticule, enabling
designers to make critical timing measurements to ensure that the data on the bus
meets the setup-and-hold timing requirements of the receiver.
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 (red,
labeled Power), is the instantaneous power
resulting from the multiplication of the voltage and current waveforms (Ch. 1 * Ch. 2).
The Math 2 wa veform, M2 (red, labeled
Energy), is the result of a calculation of the
integral of M1, a math-on-math operation of
the TDS5000 Series. An energy measurement, located to the right of the display,
is a gated measurement made on M1 and
includes statistics.The TDS5000Series’
powerful and flexible measurements, math,
and math-on-math capabilities make it an
ideal solution for engineers designing today’s
high-efficiency power devices.
