Digital Sampling Oscilloscope
TDS8000
Characteristics
Signal Acquisition
Acquisition Modes - Sample (normal), envelope, and average.
Number of Sampling Modules Accommodated - Up to four
dual-channel electrical and two single-channel optical sampling
modules.
Number of Simultaneously Acquired Inputs - 8 channels
maximum (8 electrical or 2 optical and 6 electrical).
Vertical Systems
Rise Time/Bandwidth - Determined by the sampling modules
used.
Vertical Resolution - 14 bits over the sampling module's
dynamic range.
Horizontal System
Main and Magnification View Timebases - 1 ps/div to
5 ms/div in 1-2-5 sequence or 1 ps increments.
Time Interval Accuracy -
Horizontal sensitivity < 21 ps: 1 ps + 1% of interval.
Horizontal sensitivity >21 ps:
8 ps + 0.1% of interval (short-term optimized mode).
8 ps + 0.01% of interval (locked to 10 MHz mode).
Horizontal deskew range : -500 ps to + 100 ns on any individual
channel in 1 ps increments.
Record Length - 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 2000 or 4000 samples.
Magnification Views - In addition to the main timebase, the
TDS8000 supports two magnification views. These
magnifications are independently acquired using separate
timebase settings.

Maximum Trigger Rate - 200 kHz.
Trigger System
Trigger Sources -
External direct trigger.
External pre-scaled trigger.
Internal clock trigger: internally connected to direct trigger.
Clock recovery triggers (from optical sampling modules):
internally connected to pre-scaled trigger.
Trigger Sensitivity -
External direct trigger input:
50 mV, DC - 4 GHz (typical).
100 mV, DC - 3 GHz (guaranteed).
Pre-scaled trigger input:
800 mV, 2-3 GHz (guaranteed).
600 mV, 3-10 GHz (guaranteed).
1000 mV, 10-12.5 GHz (typical).
Jitter -
Short-term Jitter Optimized Mode:
1.0 ps + 5 PPM of position (typical).
< 1.5 ps + 10 PPM of position (max.).
Locked to 10 MHz Reference:
1.6 ps + 0.05 PPM of position (typical).
<2.5 ps + 0.10 PPM of position (max.).
Internal Clock - Adjustable from 25 to 200 kHz (drives TDR,
internal clock output and calibrator).
Trigger Level Range - ±1.0 V.
Trigger Input Range - ±1.5 V.
Trigger Holdoff - Adjustable 5 µs to 100 ms in 2 ns increments.
Display Features
Touchscreen Display - 10.4 in. diagonal, color.
Colors - 16,777,216 (24 bits).
Video Resolution - 640 horizontal by 480 vertical displayed
pixels.
