With the MyScope®Feature, Create
Your Own Control Windows with
Only the Controls, Features and
Capabilities that You Care About
Easily create your own personalized “toolbox” of oscilloscope features in a matter
of minutes using a simple, visual, drag-anddrop process. Once created, these custom
control windows are easily accessed
through a dedicated MyScope button and
menu selection on the oscilloscope button/
menu bar, just like any other control window.
You can make an unlimited number of
custom control windows, enabling each
person who uses the oscilloscope in a
shared environment to have their own
unique control window. MyScope control
windows will benefit all oscilloscope users,
eliminating the ramp-up time that many
face when returning to the lab after not
using an oscilloscope for a while, and
enables the power user to be far more
efficient. Everything you need is found in
one control window rather than having to
constantly navigate through menu after
menu to repeat similar tasks.

tomize your Test and Measurement
System with Familiar Analysis Tools
The analysis and networking features of
OpenChoice software add more flexibility
to Tektronix’ Windows XP oscilloscopes:
Using the fast embedded bus, waveform
data can be moved directly from acquisition
to analysis applications on the Windows
desktop at much faster speeds than
conventional GPIB transfers. Tektronix’
implementation of industry standard protocols, such as TekVISA
™
interface and
ActiveX controls, are included for using and
enhancing Windows applications for data
analysis and documentation. IVI instrument
drivers are included to enable easy communication with the oscilloscope using
GPIB, serial data and LAN connections
from programs running on the instrument
or an external PC. Or, use the Software
Developer’s Kit (SDK) to help create custom
software to automate multi-step processes
in waveform collection and analysis with
Visual BASIC, C, C++, MATLAB, LabVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI and other common
Application Development Environments
(ADE). Integration of the oscilloscope with
external PCs and non-Windows hosts is
also supported. In addition, the OpenChoice
architecture provides a comprehensive software infrastructure for faster, more versatile
operations. Data transfer programs, such
as the Excel or Word toolbar are used to
simplify analysis and documentation on the
Windows desktop or on an external PC.
Capture data into Microsoft Excel using the
unique Excel toolbar and create custom
reports using the Word toolbar.

FastAcq Acquisition Mode
Expedites Debugging by Clearly
Showing Imperfections
More than just color-grading, FastAcq
enabled by Tektronix proprietary DPX
acquisition technology captures signals
at more than 250,000 waveforms per
second on all four channels simultaneously,
dramatically increasing the probability of
discovering infrequent fault events. And
with a simple turn of the intensity knob,
you can clearly see “a world others don’t
see,” because frequency of occurrence is
color coded. Some oscilloscope vendors
claim high waveform capture rates for short
bursts of time, but only Tektronix oscilloscopes, enabled by DPX technology, can
deliver these fast waveform capture rates
on a sustained basis – saving minutes,
hours or even days by quickly revealing
the nature of faults so sophisticated trigger
modes can be applied to isolate them.

Paramount in Complex Signal
Debug and Validation
Whether you’re trying to find a system error
or need to isolate a section of a complex
signal for further analysis, Tektronix’
®
Pinpoint
triggering provides the solution.
The Pinpoint trigger system uses Silicon
Germanium (SiGe) technology to provide
trigger sensitivity of up to the bandwidth
of the instrument and allows selection of
all trigger types on both A and B trigger
circuits. It can capture very narrow glitches
with very little trigger jitter. Other trigger
systems offer multiple trigger types only
on a single event (A event), with delayed
trigger (B event) selection limited to edge
type triggering and often do not provide a
way to reset the trigger sequence if the B
event doesn’t occur. But Pinpoint triggering
provides the full suite of advance trigger
types on both A and B triggers with Reset
triggering to begin the trigger sequence
again after a specified time, state or transition so that even events in the most
complex signals can be captured. Other
oscilloscopes typically offer less than 20
trigger combinations; Pinpoint triggering
offers over 1400 combinations, all at
full performance.
Isolate glitches down to 100 ps wide. Isolate only the valid glitches.
Serial pattern triggering to debug pattern
dependent issues.
Now you can even use a probe and the
full functionality of the trigger system with
the Auxiliary trigger input.
Serial Data Decoding and
Protocol Triggering
To debug serial architectures, use the serial
pattern triggering for NRZ serial data stream
with built-in clock recovery and correlate
events across physical and link layer.
This feature comes standard on the
DSA70000 series and is available on
models DPO70804, DPO70604 and
DPO70404 as Opt. PTH. The instrument
can recover the clock signal, identify the
transitions, and decode characters and
other protocol data. You can see the

captured bit sequences decoded into
their words for convenient analysis (for
8 b/10 b and other encoded serial data
streams), or you can set the desired
encoded words for the serial pattern
trigger to capture.
Opt. PTH and the DSA70000 Series
cover serial standards up to 3.125 Gb/s.
Large 12.1-inch XGA Display Screen
The DPO70000 and DSA70000 Series
have the largest display in the industry
with a 12.1" XGA touch screen that gives
up to 15% more waveform display than
other oscilloscopes of their classes.
10 vertical divisions give you 25% more
vertical measurement resolution.

Interoperability with Logic Analyzers
for Digital Design and Debug
Tektronix’ Integrated View (IView
display enables digital designers to solve
signal integrity challenges and effectively
debug and verify their systems more
quickly and easily. 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
systems failures. No user calibration is
required. And, once set up, the IView
feature is completely automated.

Oscilloscopes and the DSA70000 Series
Analyzers offer the industry’s most

A Wide Range of Built-in Advanced
Waveform Analysis Tools
Waveform cursors make it easy to measure
trace-to-trace timing characteristics, while
cursors that link between YT and XY
display modes make it easy to investigate
phase relationships and Safe Operating
Area violations.
Select from 53 automatic measurements
using a graphical palette that logically
organizes measurements into Amplitude,
Time, Combination, Histogram and Communications categories. Gather further
insight into your measurement results
with statistical data such as mean, min,
max, standard deviation and population.
Define and apply math expressions to
waveform data for on-screen results in
terms that you can use. Access common
waveform math functions with the touch
of a button. Or, for advanced applications,
create algebraic expressions consisting of
live waveforms, reference waveforms, math
functions, measurement values, scalars
and user adjustable variables with an
easy-to-use calculator-style editor.
FFT – To analyze your signal in the spectral
domain, use the basic spectral (provides
you with the best parameter), or use the
advanced spectral (to directly control the
frequency span, center frequency and
resolution bandwidth).
Filtering – Enhance your ability to isolate
or remove some important component
of your signal (noise or specific harmonics of
the signal) by creating your own filters, or
using the filters provided as standard with
the instrument.
A Breadth of Tools to Extend
Waveform Analysis Even Further
Jitter and Timing Measurement and
Analysis – Tight timing margins demand
stable, low jitter designs. This feature extends the oscilloscope capability by making
jitter measurements over contiguous clock
cycles from every valid pulse in a singleshot acquisition. Multiple measurements
and trend plots quickly show system timing
under variable conditions. It also provides
Rj/Dj on signals without a repeating pattern
and without requiring the pattern length.
You can get insight into the signal and
noise characteristics like SSC modulation
range and profile.
This analysis tool is standard on the
DSA70000 Series and comes as Opt. JA3
or Opt. JE3 on the DPO70000 Series. JE3
provides a subset of the measurements.
