CSA7000 Series, TDS7000 Series, & TDS6000 Series Instruments User Manual A-5
Serial Triggers. Optional on TDS7000 Series & TDS6000 Series, not available on
TDS7104 and TDS7054. Use serial triggers to trigger on serial pattern data.
Recovered Clock and Data Triggers. Use recovered clock and data internally to
trigger your waveforms. They are also available externally (CSA7000 Series
only).
Autoset. Use Autoset to quickly set up the vertical, horizontal, and trigger
controls for a usable display. If a standard mask is active (optional on TDS7000
Series & TDS6000 Series), Autoset adjusts the selected waveform to match the
mask, if possible.
Touch Screen Interface. You can operate all instrument functions (except the
power switch and the touch screen enable/disable switch) from the touch screen
interface. If convenient, you can also install a mouse and keyboard to use the
interface.
Toolbar or Menu Bar. You can choose a toolbar operating mode that is optimized
for use with the touch screen, or a PC-style menubar operating mode that is
optimized for use with a mouse.
Open Desktop. The instrument is built on a Microsoft Windows software
platform; the instrument application program starts automatically when you
apply power to the instrument. You can minimize the instrument application and
take full advantage of the built-in PC to run other applications. Moving
waveform images and data into other applications is as simple as a copy/paste
operation.
Dedicated Front Panel Controls. The front panel contains knobs and buttons to
provide immediate access to the most common instrument controls. Separate
vertical controls are provided for each channel. The same functions are also
available through the screen interface.
