Product Overview

The Tektronix TDS754D oscilloscope was the first in the TDS family of Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes (DPOs). DPOs capture, store, display and analyze, in real time, three dimensions of signal information: amplitude, time and distribution of amplitude over time. The benefit of this new third dimension of information is an interpretation of the signal dynamics, including instantaneous changes and the frequency of occurrence displayed in the form of quantitative intensity information. Extensive user interface design has made the TDS754D is truly intuitive to operate and very easy to use and includes a graphical user interface with over 200 icons which help facilitate understanding and use of the advanced features. A color monitor helps rapidly distinguish between multiple waveforms and measurements. Online help provides a convenient built-in reference manual. The DPO acquisition acquires over 1,000 times more data than traditional DSOs, allowing the capture of complex signals, reducing debugging times from hours to seconds.
Channels can be transparently combined to achieve higher sample rates and longer record lengths. The record length can be optionally increased to 8 M points, providing a high-resolution representation of the signal over a long period of time. The Tektronix TDS754D provides wide dynamic range, flat response, fast overdrive recovery, calibrated DC offset, 1 mV/div sensitivity, 1 ns peak detect and internal calibration. It also offers powerful and flexible triggering. In addition to basic triggering such as edge and pulse-width, this oscilloscope has several trigger modes tailored for specific design and debug applications. Logic and pulse triggers, including setup/hold, glitch, slew rate and timeout triggers, capture hard-to-catch digital design problems. The optional video trigger provides line and field selection for NTSC, PAL and HDTV standards. The optional communications trigger capability addresses needs to acquire a wide variety of AMI, CMI, NRZ and Ethernet communication signals.
