TDS 520A, 524A, 540A, & 544A Performance Verification
Specifications
This subsection begins with a general description of the traits of the
TDS 520A, 524A, 540A and 544A Digitizing Oscilloscopes. Three subsections
follow, one for each of three classes of traits:
nominal traits, warranted char-
acteristics,
and
typical characteristics
.
The Tektronix TDS 520A, 524A, 540A and 544A Digitizing Oscilloscopes are
portable, four-channel instruments suitable for use in a variety of test and
measurement applications and systems. Key features include:
500 MHz maximum analog bandwidth.
1 Gigasample/second maximum digitizing rate (TDS 540A and 544A);
500 Megasamples/second maximum digitizing rate (TDS 520A and
524A).
Four-channel acquisition — the TDS 540A and 544A offer four full-fea-
tured channels; the TDS 520A and 524A offer two full-featured channels
and two channels with limited vertical scale selections: 100 mV, 1 V, and
10 V.
Extensive triggering capabilities: such as edge, logic, and glitch. Video
trigger (Option 05) is also available. The video trigger modes are NTSC,
PAL, SECAM, HDTV, and FlexFormat
TM
(user definable format).
Waveform Math — Invert a single waveform and add, subtract, and
multiply two waveforms. On the TDS 524A, 544A, and other TDS 500A
equipped with option 2F, integrate or differentiate a single waveform or
perform an FFT (fast fourier transform) on a waveform to display its
magnitude or phase versus its frequency.
Eight-bit digitizers.
Up to 15,000-point record length per channel (50,000-point with option
1M).
Full GPIB software programmability. Hardcopy output using GPIB,
RS-232, or Centronics ports (RS-232 and Centronics is standard on the
TDS 524A and 544A and optional, as option 13, on the TDS 520A and
540A).
Complete measurement and documentation capability.
Intuitive graphic icon operation blended with the familiarity of traditional
horizontal and vertical knobs.
On-line help at the touch of a button.
A full complement of advanced functions, like continuously-updated
measurements, results and local pass/fail decision making.
