Key Features
TDS5000B Series oscilloscopes are high-performance solutions for verification, debugging, and
characterization of sophisticated electronic designs. The series features exceptional signal
acquisition performance, operational simplicity, and open connectivity to the design environment.
Classic analog-style controls, a large display with an optional touch-sensitive screen, and graphical
menus provide intuitive control. Open access to the Windows operating system enables
unprecedented customization and extensibility. Key features include:
 Up to 1 GHz bandwidth and 5 GS/s real time sampling rate
 Record lengths up to 16,000,000 samples
 Fast acquisition at up to 100,000 acquisitions per second
 1.5% DC vertical gain accuracy
 Two or four input channels (each with 8-bit resolution)
 Auxiliary trigger input and output
 Sample, envelope, peak-detect, high-resolution, average, and waveform database acquisition
modes
 Full programmability, with an extensive GPIB command set and a message-based interface
 Extensive suite of advanced triggers including edge, logic, pulse, video, communication
(optional), and sequence
 Powerful built-in measurement capability, including histograms, automatic measurements,
and measurement statistics
 Basic math as well as advanced equation editor and spectral analysis
 A large 10.4 inch (264.2 mm) color display that supports color grading of waveform data to
show sample density
 Customizable MyScope control windows
 An intuitive graphical user interface (UI) with online help
 Internal disk storage
 Wide array of probing solutions, options, and upgrades
 GPIB Controller
 Comprehensive Suite of Right-Click Menus
Acquisition Features
Separate Digitizers. Ensure accurate timing measurements with separate digitizers for each
channel. The digitizers can also be combined to yield a higher sample rate on a single
channel.
Fast Acquisition. Acquire up to 100,000 waveforms per second to see rapidly changing
signals or intermittent signal irregularities.
Long Record Lengths. 2M per channel and 8M on a single channel is standard. Extend the
maximum record length up to 16M with memory options.
Peak Detect Acquisition Mode. See pulses as narrow as 400 ps, even at the slower time base
settings. Peak detect helps you see noise and glitches in your signal.
Acquisition Control Acquire continuously or set up to capture single shot acquisitions.
Enable or disable optional acquisition features such as equivalent time or roll mode.
