PCs. Tektronix’ implementation of industry-
standard protocols, such as TekVISA ™
interface and ActiveX Control, are included
for using and enhancing Windows applica-
tions for data analysis and documentation.
Or, use the Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) to
help create custom software to automate
multi-step processes in waveform collection
and analysis with Visual BASIC, C, C++,
MATLAB, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI and
other common Application Development
Environments (ADE). Integration of the oscil-
loscope with external PCs and non-Windows
hosts is also supported by the TDS5000B
Series software solutions. Plug-and-play
and IVI instrument drivers are included to
enable easy communication with the oscil-
loscope using GPIB, Serial, and LAN
connections from programs running on the
instrument or an external PC. UNIX applica-
tions, and other LAN resources, can connect
directly over Ethernet using the VXI 11.2
server included on the TDS5000B Series.
The unparalleled ease-of-use, coupled
with the TDS5000B’s high performance,
OpenChoice platform, and comprehensive
feature set all in a compact benchtop pack-
age, provides exceptional value.
Applications
The TDS5000B Series’ high performance
features make it ideal for a multitude of
applications, such as digital design and debug,
power measurements, communications
mask testing, and video design.
Digital Design and Debug
The interoperability of the TDS5000B Series
oscilloscope with the Tektronix TLA5000
Series logic analyzer made possible by
Tektronix Integrated View (iView ™ ) enables
digital designers to solve signal integrity
challenges and effectively debug and verify
their systems more quickly and easily. The
iView feature fully integrates the industry-
leading performance and measurement
accuracy of a Tektronix oscilloscope with
the multi-channel and powerful triggering
OpenChoice Platform. Capturing data into
Microsoft Excel using the unique Excel
Toolbar and then creating a custom report
using the Tektronix Report Generator.
Digital Design and Debug. Tektronix Integrated View (iView) fully integrates the performance and
measurement accuracy of a Tektronix oscilloscope with the multi-channel and powerful triggering
capabilities of a Tektronix logic analyzer in one display, allowing designers to quickly verify and
debug their designs.
