Acquisition Features

Separate Digitizers. Ensure accurate timing measurements with separate digitizers for each channel. Acquisition on multiple channels is always concurrent. The digitizers can also be combined to yield a higher sample rate on two channels (TDS6000C series only).

Long Record Lengths. Maximum record length up to 32,000,000 points simultaneously on all four channels (TDS6000C series only; requires Option 4M)or 64,000,000 points on two channels (both TDS6000B and TDS6000C series).

Peak Detect Acquisition Mode. See pulses as narrow as 50 ps even at the slower time base settings. Captures narrow glitches at all real-time sampling rates.

Acquisition Control. Acquire continuously or set up to capture single shot acquisitions. Enable or disable optional acquisition features such as equivalent time.

Horizontal Delay. Use delay when you want to acquire a signal at a significant time interval after the trigger point. Toggle delay on and off to quickly compare the signal at two different points in time.

Signal Processing

Features

Display Features

Average, Envelope, and Hi Res Acquisition. Use Average acquisition mode to remove uncorrelated noise from your signal. Use Envelope to capture and display the maximum variation of the signal. Use Hi Res to increase vertical resolution for lower bandwidth signals.

Waveform Math. Set up simple math waveforms using the basic arithmetic functions or create more advanced math waveforms using the math expression editor. W aveform expressions can even contain measurement results and other math waveforms.

Spectral Analysis. Display spectral magnitude and phase waveforms based on your time-domain acquisitions. Control the oscilloscope using the traditional spectrum analyzer controls such as span and center frequency.

Color LCD Display. Identify and differentiate waveforms easily with color coding. Waveforms, readouts, and inputs are color matched to increase productivity and reduce operating errors.

MultiView Zoom. To take advantage of the full resolution of the instrument you can zoom in on a waveform to see the fine details. Both vertical and horizontal zoom functions are available. Zoomed waveforms can be aligned, locked, and automatically scrolled.

Measurement Features

Trigger Features

Cursors. Use cursors to take simple voltage, time, and frequency measurements.

Automatic Measurements. Choose from a large palette of amplitude, time, and

histogram measurements. You can customize the measurements by changing reference levels or by adding measurement gating.

Simple and Advanced Trigger Types. Choose simple edge trigger or choose from eight advanced trigger types to help you capture a specific signal fault or event.

Dual Triggers. Use the A (main) trigger system alone or add the B trigger to capture more complex events. You can use the A and B triggers together to set up a delay-by-time or delay-by-events trigger condition.

Comm Triggers. Optional on TDS6000B & TDS6000C Series. Use comm triggers to trigger on communication signals.

Serial Triggers. Optional on TDS6000B & TDS6000C Series. Use serial triggers to trigger on serial pattern data.

Convenience Features

Recovered Clock and Data Triggers. Optional on TDS6000B & TDS6000C Series. Use recovered clock and data internally to trigger your waveforms.

Autoset. Use Autoset to quickly set up the vertical, horizontal, and trigger controls for a usable display.

Touch Screen Interface. You can operate all oscilloscope functions (except the power switch) from the touch screen interface. If convenient, you can also install a mouse and keyboard to use the interface.

Buttons or Menu Bar. You can choose a buttons (toolbar) operating mode, optimized for using buttons with the touch screen, or a PC-style menu-bar operating mode.

Open Desktop. The oscilloscope is built on a Microsoft Windows software platform; the oscilloscope application program starts automatically when you apply power to the instrument. You can minimize the oscilloscope application and take full advantage of the built-in PC to run other applications. Move waveform images and data into other applications by copying or pasting information for short data records or exporting longer data records to a file.

Pollution Degree

Descriptions

Pollution Degree

A measure of the contaminates that could occur in the environment around and within a product. Typically the internal environment inside a product is considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the environment for which they are rated.

H Pollution Degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution

occurs. Products in this category are generally encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or located in clean rooms.

H Pollution Degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs.

Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is caused by condensation must be expected. This location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary condensation occurs only when the product is out of service.

H Pollution Degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution

that becomes conductive due to condensation. These are sheltered locations where neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is protected from direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.

H Pollution Degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through

conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical outdoor locations.

Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Note: Rated for indoor use only.

The term under the square-root sign is the stability, and is due to TIE. The errors due to this term occur throughout a single-shot measurement. The second term is due to both the absol ute center-frequency accuracy and the center-frequency stability of the timebase and varies between multiple single-shot measurements over the observation interval (the amount of time from the first single-shot measurement to the final single-shot measurement).

Performance Verification

Two types of Performance Verification procedures can be performed on this product: Brief Pr ocedures and Performance Tests. You may not need to perform all of these procedures, depending on what you want to accomplish.

H To rapidly confirm that the oscilloscope functions and was adjusted properly,

just do the brief procedures under Self Tests, which begin on page 3--1.

Advantages: These procedures are quick to do, require no external equipment or signal sources, and perform extensive functional and accuracy testing to provide high confidence that the oscilloscope will perform properly. They can be used as a quick check before making a series of important measurements.

H To further check functionality, first do the Self Tests just mentioned; then do

the brief procedures under Functional Tests that begin on page 3--2.

Advantages: These procedures require minimal additional time to perform, require no additional equipment other than a BNC cable and BNC-to-SMA adapter or a TCA-SMA adapter, and these procedures more completely test the internal hardware of the oscilloscope. They can be used to quickly determine if the oscilloscope is suitable for putting into service, such as when it is first received.

H If more extensive confirmation of performance is desired, do the Perform-

ance Tests, beginning on page 4--1, after doing the Functional and Self Tests

mentioned above.

Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of the warranted specifications that are marked with the n symbol. These procedures require specific test equipment. (See Table 4--1: Test equipment on page 4--2).

If you are not familiar with operating the oscilloscope, read the oscilloscope reference or user manuals or explore the online help.

Conventions

Throughout these procedures the following conventions apply:

H Each test procedure uses the following general format:

Title of Test

Equipment Required

Prerequisites

Procedure

H Each procedure consists of as many steps, substeps, and subparts as required

to do the test. Steps, substeps, and subparts are sequenced as follows:

1. First Step

a. First Substep

H First Subpart

H Second Subpart

b. Second Substep

2. Second Step

H In steps and substeps, the lead-in statement in italics instructs you what to

do, while the instructions that follow tell you how to do it, as in the example step below:

Initialize the oscilloscope: Push the front-panel DEFAULT SETUP button.

H Where instructed to use a control in the display or a front-panel button or

knob, the name of the control, button, or knob appears in boldface type. Where instructed to make or verify a setting, the value of the setting also appears in boldface type.

STOP.TheSTOP notation at the left is accompanied by information you must read to do the procedure properly.

H The term “toolbar” refers to a row of buttons at the top of the display. The

term “menu bar” refers to a row of menus at the top of the display. You can switch between toolbar and menu bar operating modes by touching the button near the top right corner of the display.

2- 2

H The procedures assume you have connected a mouse to the oscilloscope so

that you can click on the screen controls. If you have not connected a mouse, you can use the touch screen to operate all the screen controls.

TDS6000B & TDS6000C Series Specifications and Performance Verification

Performance Verification

H Some of the specifications for the TDS6000C Series oscilloscopes use the

V/FS (volts/full scale) notation. To convert to the volts/division notation, divide the V/FS by 10.

H Some of the early TDS6000B Series oscilloscopes have the Fast Edge SMA

connector labeled “Probe Compensation” and the DC Probe Cal BNC connector labeled “Probe Cal.” These connectors have the same functions and signals as both label sets. All of the illustrations in this document use the Fast Edge label and DC Probe Cal label. If your instrument has the earlier labels, follow the steps described with the new labels.

Brief Procedures

Self Tests

The Self Tests use internal routines to confirm basic functionality and proper adjustment. No test equipment is required to do these test procedures.

The Functional Tests utilize the FAST EDGE output at the front panel as a test-signal source for further verifying that the oscilloscope functions properly. A SMA cable and a TCA-SMA adapter are required to do these test procedures.

This procedure uses internal routines to verify that the oscilloscope functions and was adjusted properly. No test equipment or hookups are required.

Equipment required

Prerequisites Power on the oscilloscope and allow a 20 minute warm-up before doing

1. Verify that internal diagnostics pass: Do the following substeps to verify

passing of internal diagnostics.

a. Display the System diagnostics menu:

H If the oscilloscope is in toolbar mode, click the MENU button to put

the oscilloscope into menu bar mode.

H Select Instrument Diagnostics from the Utilities menu and. This

displays the diagnostics control window.

b. Run the System Diagnostics:

H First disconnect any input signals from all four channels.

H Click the Run button in the diagnostics control window.

c. Wait: The internal diagnostics do an exhaustive verification of proper

oscilloscope function. This verification may take several minutes. When the verification is finished, the resulting status will appear in the diagnostics control window.

Brief Procedures

NOTE. If diagnostic error message 512 is displayed, run signal-path compensation then re-run diagnostic.

d. Verify that no failures are found and reported on-screen. All tests should

pass.

e. Run the signal-path compensation routine:

H Select Instrument Calibration from the Utilities menu .... This

displays the instrument calibration control window.

H If required because the instrument is in service mode, select the

Signal Path button under Calibration Area.

NOTE. Signal Path Compensation is not valid until the instrument reaches a valid temperature. Calibration Status must be Te m p.

H Click the Calibrate button to start the routine.

Functional Tests

f. Wait: Signal-path compensation may take five to fifteen minutes to run.

g. Confirm signal-path compensation returns passed status: Verify that the

word Pass appears in the instrument calibration control window.

2. Return to regular service: Click the Close button to exit the instrument

calibration control window.

The purpose of these procedures is to confirm that the instrument functions properly.

NOTE. These procedures verify that the instrument features operate. They do not verify that they operate within limits.

Therefore, when the instructions in the functional tests that follow call for you to verify that a signal appears on-screen “that is about five divisions in amplitude” or “has a period of about six horizontal divisions,” and so forth, do not interpret the quantities given as limits.

e. Verify the delay toggle function:

H Rotate the front-panel horizontal POSITION knob to center the

falling edge horizontally on the screen.

H Change the horizontal SCALE to 40 ns/div. The falling edge of the

waveform should remain on the screen.

H Set horizontal DELAY to  -- 8 0 n s . The rising edge should be

2 divisions to the right of the center graticule line.

H Push the front-panel DELAY button several times to toggle delay off

and on and back off again. Verify that the display switches quickly between two different points in time.

9. Remove the test hookup: Disconnect the equipment from the channel input

statements are true.

H The trigger level readout for the A (main) trigger system changes with

the trigger-LEVEL knob.

H The trigger-LEVEL knob can trigger and untrigger the square-wave

signal as you rotate it. (Leave the signal untriggered).

H Pushing the front-panel trigger LEVEL knob sets the trigger level to the

50% amplitude point of the signal and triggers the signal that you just left untriggered. (Leave the signal triggered.)

7. Verify that the delayed trigger system operates:

a. Set up the delayed trigger:

H From the Trig menu, select A→B Sequence . . . . This displays the

A→B Sequence tab of the trigger setup control window.

H Touch the Trig After Time button under A Then B .

H Touch the B Level control in the control window.

Perform the Extended Diagnostics

Extended diagnostics and self calibration perform a more detailed functionality check than the incoming inspection and Power-on diagnostics.

NOTE. Allow a 20-minute warm-up before running the self calibration.

Disconnect any attached signal from the instrument. Then select the Utilities menu. Run the self calibration followed by the extended diagnostics by first selecting the Instrument Calibration and then the Instrument Diagnostics tabs. Results of the tests display on their property pages.

Checking the Underlying

System (Optional)

To check the hardware and Windows software underlying the instrument UI (user interface), run the CheckIt Utilities from the Windows Start menu:

1. Minimize the instrument application before running the external diagnostics. From the File menu select Minimize.

2. Touch Start, then touch Programs in the Start Menu. Finally, touch CheckIt Utilities.

3. From the Go To menu, select and run the tests you want to perform.

4. Check test results. All tests except the Modem and CD-ROM tests should

pass. The CD-ROM test requires data from the CheckIt Utilities CD.

Performance Tests

This section contains a collection of manual procedures for checking that the TDS6000B & TDS6000C Series oscilloscopes performs as warranted.

The procedures are arranged in four logical groupings: Signal Acquisition System

Checks, Time Base System Checks, Triggering System Checks,andOutput Ports Checks. They check all the characteristics that are designated as checked in Specifications. (The characteristics that are checked appear with a n in Specifications).

STOP. These procedures extend the confidence level pr ovided by the basic procedures described on page 3--1. The basic procedures should be done first, then these procedures performed if desired.

Prerequisites

The tests in this section comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of performance and functionality when the following requirements are met:

H The cabinet must be installed on the instrument.

H You must have performed and passed the procedures under Self Tests, found

on page 3--1, and those under Functional Tests, found on page 3--2.

H A signal-path compensation must have been done within the recommended

calibration interval and at a temperature within ±5 _C of the present operating temperature. A signal-path compensation must have been done at an ambient humidity within 25% of the current ambient humidity and after having been at that humidity for at least 4 hours.

H The oscilloscope must have been last adjusted at an ambient temperature

between +20 _C and +30 _C, must have been operating for a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes, and must be operating at an ambient temperature as listed in Table 1--2 on page 1--4. (The warm-up requirement is usually met in the course of meeting the Self Tests and Functional Tests prerequisites listed above).

H Sensors or spitter adapter setups should be supported to avoid stress or

torque when connected to the DUT.
