An important component of the multiprocessor architecture of this Digitizing
Oscilloscope is Tektronix's proprietary digital signal processor, the DSP. This
dedicated processor supports advanced analysis of your waveforms when
doing such computeĆintensive tasks as interpolation, waveform math, and
signal averaging. It also teams with a custom display system to deliver
specialized display modes (See , later in this description.)
Acquired waveforms may be saved in any of four nonvolatile REF (reference)
memories or on a 3.5 inch, DOS 3.3ĆorĆlater compatible disk. Any or all of
the saved waveforms may be displayed for comparison with the waveforms
being currently acquired.
The source and destination of waveforms to be saved may be chosen. You
can save any of the four channels to any REF memory or to move a stored
reference from one REF memory to another. Reference waveforms may also
be written into a REF memory location via the GPIB interface.
The Digitizing Oscilloscope is fully controllable and capable of sending and
receiving waveforms over the GPIB interface (IEEE Std 488.1-1987/IEEE
Std 488.2-1987 standard). This feature makes the instrument ideal for
making automated measurements in a production or research and developĆ
ment environment that calls for repetitive data taking. SelfĆcompensation
and selfĆdiagnostic features built into the Digitizing Oscilloscope to aid in
fault detection and servicing are also accessible using commands sent from
a GPIB controller.
Another standard feature is hardcopy. This feature allows you to output
waveforms and other onĆscreen information to a variety of graphic printers
and plotters from the TDS front panel, providing hard copies without requirĆ
ing you to put the TDS into a systemĆcontroller environment. You can make
hardcopies in a variety of popular output formats, such as PCX, TIFF, BMP,
RLE, EPS, Interleaf, and EPS mono or color. You can also save hardcopies
in a disk file in any of the formats above. The hardcopies obtained are based
on what is displayed onĆscreen at the time hardcopy is invoked. The hardcoĆ
pies can be stamped with date and time and spooled to a queue for printing
at a later time. You can output screen information via GPIB, RSĆ232C, or
Centronics interfaces.
