Tektronix TDS360 Overview

The TDS360 is a great 2 channel general purpose scope. It has the speed, processing power and measurement capability to meet the needs of most any laboratory, test or R&D application. In addition to its high sampling speed for viewing fast real-time single-shot events, we have found the built-in floppy disk drive to be one of the scopes most valuable assets. We depended on this feature for capturing waveform data for engineering and test documentation.

The following summarizes a few of the features/specifications of the TDS360 (from Tektronix Data Sheet):

SIGNAL ACQUISITION SYSTEM Bandwidth - 200 MHz Channels - 2 Digitizers - 2 Sample Rate – 1 GS/s on each channel Sensitivity – 2 mV to 10 V/div Position Range - ± 5 Divisions Vertical Resolution - 8-bits (256 levels over 10.24 vertical divisions), 11-bits w/averaging. Analog Bandwidth Selections - 20 MHz and full. Input Coupling - AC, DC, or GND Input Impedance Selections - 1 M ohm in parallel with 15 pF, or 50 ohms (AC and DC coupling). Maximum Input Voltage - ± 400 V (DC + peak AC).

ACQUISITION MODES Peak Detect, Sample, Envelope, Average

TIME BASE SYSTEM Time Bases - Main, Delayed Time/Division Range – 2.5 ns to 5 s/div Record Length Sample points/channel: 1,000 Pre-Trigger Position - Selectable from 0 to 100% of record.

TRIGGERING SYSTEM Triggers - Main, Delayed. Main Trigger Modes - Auto, Normal, Single Sequence. Delayed Trigger - Delayed by time Video Trigger Types - NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and Custom; TV Field, field 2 or both.

DISPLAY Waveform Style - Dots or vectors, dot or vector accumulation Update Rate - 86 500-point waveforms per sec with infinite persistence mode selected. Graticules - Full, grid, cross hair, frame Format - YT and XY

AUTOMATIC WAVEFORM MEASUREMENTS Up to 4 each (simultaneously) of the following:

High, Low, Max, Min, Peak-to-peak, Amplitude, +Overshoot, -Overshoot Mean, Cycle Mean, RMS, Cycle RMS Period, Frequency, +Width, -Width, Rise, Fall + Duty Cycle, -Duty Cycle, Burst Width
