Key Features
The CSA8200 and TDS8200 Series instruments are high-speed, precision sampling systems that find use in validation and
conformance testing and impedance verification for:
H High-performance semiconductor/computer applications, such as semiconductor testing, TDR characterization of
circuit boards, IC packages and cables, and high-speed serial digital data communications.
H High-performance communications applications, such as design evaluation and manufacturing test of datacom and
telecom components, transceiver subassemblies, and transmission systems.
The instruments include a user interface that runs on the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system as a windowed
application. You operate t he instrument using front-panel controls with the mouse and keyboard or with the touch screen.
Features Include:
H Industry-leading waveform acquisition and measurement rate, with Sample, Envelope, and Average acquisition m odes.
H Support for up to six sampling modules (two large and four small modules). Up to eight inputs can be active at a time.
H Supports integrated optical and/or electrical signal pick-off and clock recovery, enabling accurate triggering on optical
and/or electrical communication-signals.
Key Features
H Support for optical modules with several integrated, selectable reference receivers, which eliminates the need for a
multitude of add-on reference receivers.
H Full programmability, with an extensive GPIB-command set and a message-based interface.
H True differential TDR, with fast step (15 psec reflected risetime) when used with a TDR-capable 80E10 sampling
module.
H Industry-leading trigger bandwidth (12+ GHz) when using the built-in-prescaler.
H Support of both telecom (SONET and SDH) and datacom (Fibre Channel, Infiniband, and Gigabit Ethernet) optical
communication standards.
H Powerful built-in measurement capability, including histograms, mask testing, and automatic measurements.
H Automatic measurements operate on Pulses, RZ eye patterns, and NRZ eye patterns.
H DC to 65 GHz optical bandwidth; DC to 70+ GHz electrical bandwidth, with up to 12.5 GHz triggering.
NOTE. Bandwidth is determined by the specific modules that are installed.
H Low jitter (200 fs typical) in phase reference modes with the 82A04 Phase Reference module.
H FrameScan acquisition for isolating data-dependent failures during conformance/performance testing and for
examining very low-level repetitive signals.
H Jitter analysis with the 80SJNB Advanced Jitter, Noise and BER Analysis Software for the TDS/CSA8000 Series
Sampling Oscilloscopes application (requires software key). Refer to the 8000 Series Product Software CD-ROM
booklet for free trial information and software key use.
H Pattern (frame) triggering with the 80A06 PatternSync Trigger module.
