2-4 CSA8000B & TDS8000B User Manual
System Overview Maps
The instrument and its sampling modules comprise a highly capable waveform
acquisition, test, and measurement system. The following model provides
background information on its operation, which, in turn, may provide you insight
on how the instrument can be used.

The model comprises five high-level subsystems or processes (embodying a
variety of hardware and software functions):
HModular Sampling Specialization System. Allows you to choose modules
to begin tailoring your waveform acquisition based on the types of signals
you want to acquire: electrical or optical; with clock recovery or without,
with bandwidth filter or not. Provides cost-effective solution for users
needing very high bandwidth with superb time resolution on repetitive
waveforms. Sampling modules determine the size of the vertical acquisition
window for each channel.
