Atec Tektronix-TDS500D-700D Series User Manual

Atec Equipment

The TDS 500D/TDS 700D Family
of Digital Phosphor
Oscilloscopes
The TDS 500D/700D oscillo-
scopes are the first in the
TDS family of Digital Phos-
phor Oscilloscopes (DPOs)
designed to keep pace with
current and evolving needs in
advanced electronic design
and debug. DPOs deliver a
new level of insight that
makes dealing with complex
signals elementary – a new
level of insight that must be
seen to be believed.
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 infor-
mation is an interpretation of
the signal dynamics, includ-
ing instantaneous changes
and the frequency of occur-
rence displayed in the form
of quantitative intensity
information.

EASY TO LEARN AND EASY TO USE
Extensive user interface
design has made the TDS
family of products truly intu-
itive to operate. Each family
member shares a familiar
front panel layout with dedi-
cated vertical, horizontal, and
trigger controls. A graphical
user interface with over 200
icons helps facilitate under-
standing and use of the
advanced features. A color
monitor helps rapidly distin-
guish between multiple
waveforms and measure-
ments. On-line help provides
a convenient built-in refer-
ence manual.
