enables unprecedented customization
and extensibility.
Superior Performance
With up to 6 GHz bandwidth and 20 GS/s
sample rate on 2 channels or 10 GS/s
sample rate on 4 channels simultaneously,
the TDS6000Series provides unmatched signal integrity measurements.High-performance
jitter analysis down to 0.7 ps
is achieved
RMS
through exceptional trigger and acquisition
performance and applied software.
The TDS6000 Series’ high bandwidth is
fully supported by a suite of compatible
probes.The P7260 6 GHz active probe
provides full bandwidth at the probe tip.
It has two attenuation settings to cover a
wide dynamic range.The P7350 5 GHz
differential probe is an excellent choice for
low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS)
applications. Both probes have ver y low
loading for maximum signal fidelity.Small
form-factors and a wide array of tip accessories ensure effectiveness in a variety of
TM
applications.The TekConnect
signal
interconnect system replaces traditional
BNC input connectors with a convenient
positive-locking interface for higher system
bandwidths. P7000 Series probes are
directly compatible with the TekConnect
system along with adapters that provide
SMA, BNC and N connections as well as
75 Ω to 50 Ω conversion.The TCA-1MEG
buffer amplifier offers high-impedance

P6139A 500 MHz passive probe that extends
the capabilities of the TDS6000 to cover
general purpose needs.
Note: Probes are not included in the price
and should be ordered separately.
Application-specific
Extensions
Mask Testing with Clock Recovery
(Option SM)
Includes clock recovery for serial data
streams from 1.5 MBaud to 2.5 GBaud.
Easily and reliably perform mask testing and
parametric analysis with a single connection.
Provides a portfolio of masks for verifying
compliance to computer, communication
and datacom standards. Engineers can verify
circuit design performance and perform
interface compliance testing with one realtime instrument, even when developing
multi-standard and multi-rate designs.
Standard masks include:
Ethernet IEEE Std 802.3,ANSI X3.263
(125 Mbps to 3.125 Gbps)
Fibre Channel Electrical (132.8 Mbps
to 2.125 Gbps)
InfiniBand (2.5 Gbps)
USB (12 Mbps, 480 Mbps)
Serial ATA (1.5 Gbps)
IEEE 1394b (393 Mbps to 1.5729 Gbps)
Rapid I/O (500 Mbps to 2 Gbps)
SPI-5 (2.488 Gbps)
SFI-5 (2.488 Gbps)
TFI-5 (2.488 Gbps)
PCI Express (2.5 Gbps)
VSR (1.24466 Gbps)
Several powerful features allow users
to easily tailor mask testing for specific
requirements:
One-button Autoset matches instrument
settings to signal characteristics and specific
mask requirements
Auto-fit process optimizes signal position
within the mask to minimize hits
Mask Margin control adjusts tolerance
during testing
Hit-counting identifies location and degree
of failures
Test-related actions including notification,
logging and hardcopy
Built-in mask editing allowing users to copy
and adjust mask values from a standard,
or create new masks
Serial Pattern Trigger (Option ST)
Includes hardware-based serial pattern
trigger to isolate data patterns. Serial trigger
provides a direct means to analyze pattern
dependent issues, even on a single-shot
basis.The combination of serial trigger and
signal averaging reduces random noise,
enhancing acquisition of low level signals.
Users can specify patterns with up to
32 bits, including “don’t care” bits. The
serial trigger system can be clocked from
an external source or internal clock recovery
can be applied, providing single-connection
convenience.

locate advanced features quickly and apply
them with confidence.
Ease of Use
The TDS6000 Series’ graphical user interface
delivers sophisticated capability to advanced
users without intimidating occasional users.
The front panel includes a complete set of
classic analog-style controls for most commonly used features. For advanced use, the
combination of a large 10.4 inch touch sensitive display and graphical interface creates
a highly visual environment with explicit
illustration of instrument features. The
waveform display area remains visible even
when displaying control windows so changes
in the waveform are not missed when making
selections or adjustments.A context-sensitive
help program supplements graphic control
windows and encourages users to apply
advanced capabilities to solve their problem.

allow users to fully characterize and document design performance.
The adaptable TDS6000 Series human
interface readily supports any operating
style and environment. Select traditional
instrument-style buttons for navigation or
switch to a Windows menu bar. Classic
analog-style controls provide instant access
to the most frequently used functions while
the large touch sensitivity display provides
intuitive menu operation. Directly drag
waveform positions, cursor locations and
trigger level using the touch screen or a
mouse. Use a graphical drag-box to select
a waveform area for zooming, histogram
analysis or measurement gating. Use the
MultiView zoom to rapidly navigate and
compare multiple waveform regions without
losing the “big picture.”The USB interface
allows a mouse, keyboard and other peripherals to be added without powering off the
instrument.With this flexibility,the oscilloscopes readily adapt to a cart, cluttered
bench top, shelf, floor and other locations
that frequently make operation awkward.
Optional applications include:
Advanced Jitter Analysis including Rj/Dj
separation and BER estimation
USB2.0 compliance test software
TM
VocalLink
voice control software
These applications build on the precision
signal acquisition performance of the
TDS6000 Series to address the need for
application specific measurements to quickly
quantify device performance.
Parametric Measurements
The TDS6000 Series includes a complete
parametric measurement system for signal
characterization. Direct selection from a
graphical palette makes locating choices
simple. Quickly reassign measurements to
a different waveform, simplifying verification
tasks. Split cursors and screen cursors make
it easy to measure trace-to-trace timing
characteristics. Gather measurement
statistics for deeper insight. Easily extract
measurement results for inclusion in a document or analysis in a spreadsheet using
the Windows clipboard or export function.
Powerful Math Capabilities
The TDS6000 Series allows users to define
math expressions to be performed on waveform data, giving on-screen results in terms
they need.Access common waveform math
functions at the touch of a button. For
advanced applications, easily create wave
forms with algebraic expressions consisting
of waveform sources, math functions,
measurement values and scalars using a
calculator-style editor. This allows users to
quickly transform raw waveform data into
powerful information that is readily interpreted.
Enhanced Spectral Analysis
The TDS6000 Series includes a unique
spectrum-analyzer style interface for performing
frequency domain analysis. Controls such as
center frequency,frequency span, resolution
bandwidth and reference level provide access
to wide- or narrow-band frequency,phase
and group delay information.A gating function allows selection of only a portion of the
time-domain signal for analysis.These controls
allow users to focus on extracting spectral
information instead of confronting the idiosyncrasies of FFTs typically found in DSOs.
Analysis and Networking
The TDS6000 Series combines a highperformance oscilloscope with a separate
PC processor in a self-contained unit.With
an open Windows desktop and application
programming interfaces (APIs) for Windows
and UNIX, the TDS6000 Series is the industry leader in fast data acquisition, analysis
and network accessibility.By using the
embedded PCI bus, waveform data can be
moved directly from the acquisition probes
to analysis applications on the Windows
desktop at much faster speeds than cable
connections to externally attached PCs.
