TDS3000C Series DPO Scopes Specifications

Acquisition Modes

DPO - Captures and displays complex waveforms, random events and subtle patterns in actual signal behavior. DPOs are able to provide 3 dimensions of signal information in real time: Amplitude, time and the distribution of amplitude over time.

Peak Detect - High frequency and random glitch capture. Captures glitches as narrow as 1 ns.

WaveAlert - Monitors the incoming signals on all channels and alerts the user to any waveform that deviates from the normal waveform being acquired.

Sample - Sample data only.

Envelope - Max/min values acquired over one or more acquisitions.

Average - Waveform data from 2 to 512 (selectable) acquisitions is averaged.

Single Sequence - Use the Single Sequence button to capture a single triggered acquisition sequence at a time.

Trigger System

Main Trigger Modes - Auto (supports Roll Mode for 40 ms/div and slower), Normal.

B Trigger - Trigger after time or events.

Trigger After Time Range - 13.2 ns to 50 s.

Trigger After Events Range - 1 to 9,999,999 events.

External Trigger Input - >1 megaohm in parallel with 17 pF; Max input voltage is 150 V_RMS.

Trigger Types

Edge - Conventional level-driven trigger. Positive or negative slope on any channel. Coupling selections: DC, noise reject, HF reject, LF reject.

Video - Trigger on all lines or individual line, odd/even or all fields or analog HDTV formats (1080i, 1080p, 720p, 480p). See optional TDS3VID and TDS3SDI application modules for extended video triggering and measurement features.

Logic (requires TDS3TRG) -
PATTERN: Specifies AND, OR, NAND, NOR when true or false for a specific time.
STATE: Any logic state. Triggerable on rising or falling edge of a clock. Logic triggers can be used on combinations of 2 inputs (not 4).

Pulse (requires TDS3TRG) -
WIDTH (or GLITCH): Trigger on pulse width less than, greater than, equal to or not equal to a selectable time limit ranging from 39.6 ns to 50 s.
RUNT: Trigger on a pulse that crosses one threshold but fails to cross a second threshold before crossing the first again.
SLEW RATE: Trigger on pulse edge rates that are either faster or slower than a set rate. Edges can be rising, falling or either.

Comm (requires TDS3TMT) - Provides isolated pulse triggering required to perform DS1/DS3 telecommunications mask testing per ANSI T1.102 standard.

Alternate - Sequentially uses each active channel as a trigger source.

Measurement System

Automatic Waveform Measurements - Period, Frequency, +Width, -Width, Rise Time, Fall Time, +Duty Cycle, -Duty Cycle, +Overshoot, -Overshoot, High, Low, Max, Min, P-P, Amplitude, Mean, Cycle Mean, RMS, Cycle RMS, Burst Width, Delay, Phase, Area*¹, Cycle Area*¹.
Display any four measurements from any combination of waveforms.

*¹ Requires TDS3AAM module.

Thresholds - Settable in percentage or voltage.

Gating - Measurements can be gated using the screen or vertical cursors.

Waveform Processing

Deskew - Channel-to-channel deskew ±10 ns may be manually entered for better timing measurements and more accurate math waveforms.

Arithmetic Operators - Add, subtract, multiply, divide.

Autoset - Single-button, automatic setup on selected input signal for vertical, horizontal and trigger systems.

Display Characteristics

Waveform Style - Dots, vectors and variable persistence.

Graticules - Full, grid, cross-hair, frame, NTSC, PAL, SECAM, vectorscope 100% and 75% color bars (with optional TDS3VID and TDS3SDI video application modules).

Format - YT, XY and Gated XYZ (XY with Z-axis blanking available on TDS30X4B only).

I/O Interface

Hardcopy Port (standard) - Centronics-type parallel.

TDS3GV Communications Module -
GPIB (IEEE -488.2) programmability: Full talk/listen modes; Control of all modes, settings and measurements.
VGA: Monitor output for direct display on large VGA-equipped monitors. DB-15 female connector, 31.6 kHz sync rate, EIA RS-343A compliant.
RS-232-C interface programmability: Full talk/listen modes; Control of all modes, settings and measurements. Baud Rate up to 38,400. DB-9 male connector.
Programmer manual: 071-0381-01.
