MyScope ® Custom
Control Windows
MyScope control windows allow you to
build your own control windows with only
the controls, features and capabilities that
you care about and are important in your
job. For the first time you can create your
own personalized “toolbox” of oscillo-
scope features. No longer do you need
to search through menus for features or
re-learn how to drive the oscilloscope
after a break from the lab. MyScope
control windows are easily created in a
matter of minutes using a simple, visual,
drag-and-drop process. Once created,
these customized windows are easily
accessed through a dedicated MyScope
button and menu selection on the oscillo-
scope button/menu bar, just like any
other control window. You can make
an unlimited number of custom control
windows, enabling each person who
uses the oscilloscope, in a shared envi-
ronment, to have their own unique control
window. Since the control windows are
stored as files on the hard drive, they can
easily be transferred to other TDS5000B or
TDS/CSA7000B Series oscilloscopes, or
they can even be e-mailed to a co-worker
around the world when the need arises.
MyScope control windows will benefit
all oscilloscope users, from eliminating
the ramp-up time that many face when
returning to the lab after not using an
oscilloscope for a while, to the power
user who can now operate far more
efficiently. Everything you need is found
in one control window rather than having
to constantly navigate through menu after
menu to repeat similar tasks.
Right Clicks
Right mouse click menus make simple
things as they should be – simple. Right
click menus are context sensitive, meaning
the choices presented in the menu depend
on where you right clicked the mouse.
This makes right click menus extremely
intuitive. Want to change the cursor type?
Right click on a cursor or the cursor read-
outs. Want to change the reference levels of
an automatic measurement? Right click on
the measurement. Want to change trigger
parameters? Right click on the trigger
readouts. Want to change a waveform’s
color? Right click on the waveform handle.
Virtually all objects on the oscilloscope
display have right click menus associated
with them that include all the appropriate
actions or features relative to those objects.
There are also right click menus for regions
of the display in addition to just objects.
For example, right clicking in the main
graticule brings up a menu with choices
such as Clear Data, Default Setup, Autoset,
Screen Captures, Save All Waveforms
and Add Screen Text, providing single-
click access to many of your most
commonly performed tasks.
Pinpoint ™ Triggering
The ability to trigger an oscilloscope on
events of interest is paramount in high-
speed debug and validation. Whether
you’re trying to find a system error or
need to isolate a section of a complex
signal for further analysis, Tektronix’
Pinpoint triggering provides the solution.
The Pinpoint trigger system uses Silicon
Germanium (SiGe) technology to pro-
vide trigger sensitivity of up to 9 GHz
(TDS6000C models), and allows selection
of all trigger types on both A and B trigger
circuits. It can capture glitches down to
100 ps wide with 1 ps
RMS
trigger jitter
typical (TDS6000C models). Other trigger
systems offer multiple trigger types only
on a single event (A Event), with delayed
trigger (B Event) selection limited to edge
type triggering and often does not provide
a way to reset the trigger sequence if the
B-event doesn’t occur. But Pinpoint trig-
gering provides the full suite of advance
trigger types on both A and B triggers
with Reset triggering to begin the trigger
sequence again after a specified time,
state or transition so that even events
in the most complex signals can be
captured. Other oscilloscopes typically
offer less than 20 trigger combinations;
Pinpoint triggering offers over 1400
combinations, all at full performance.
Trigger on glitches down to 100 ps wide.
Pinpoint ™ trigger system provides the
most advanced, highest performance
triggering available.
