TDS 520A, 524A, 540A, & 544A User Manual
Product Description
Your Tektronix digitizing oscilloscope is a superb tool for acquiring, displaying,
and measuring waveforms. Its performance addresses the needs of both
benchtop lab and portable applications with the following features:
500 MHz maximum analog bandwidth.
1 Gigasample/second maximum digitizing rate (TDS 540A & 544A);
500 Megasamples/second maximum digitizing rate (TDS 520A & 524A).
Four-channel acquisition — the TDS 544A & 540A offer four full-featured
channels; the TDS 520A & 524A offer two full-featured channels and two
channels with limited vertical scale selections: 100 mV, 1 V, and 10 V.
Waveform Math — Invert a single waveform and add, subtract, multiply,
and divide two waveforms. On instruments with Option 2F: Advanced DSP
Math (standard on the TDS 524A & 544A), 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 optional).
Full GPIB software programmability. Hardcopy output using RS-232 or
Centronics ports (Optional on TDS 520A & 540A) and the GPIB.
Complete measurement and documentation capability.
Intuitive graphic icon operation blended with the familiarity of traditional
horizontal and vertical knobs.
