The Optional Application Software CD contains free five-time trials of optional application software that you can
install on your instrument. These applications provide application-specific measurement solutions. Some
examples are described below. Additional packages may be available. Contact your Tektronix representative or
visit our website at www.tekt ronix.com for more information. (See Contacting Tektronix on page 4.)
H Use TDSJIT3 or TDSJIT3E Jitter Analysis Software to characterize timing performance. Analyze jitter on
contiguous clock cycles using single-shot acquisitions.
H Use TDSDDM2 Disk Drive Measurement Software to measure disk drive signals according to IDEMA
standards.
H Use TDSDVD Optical Storage Analysis and Measurement Software for automatic amplitude and timing
measurements, providing you with the flexibility to modify signal processing blocks to maximize design
performance.
H Use TDSET3 to perform 10/100/1000 Base-T ethernet compliance testing.
H Use TDSUSB2 to characterize USB2 signals including mask testing and parametric testing.
H Use TDSCPM2 for mask and measurements compliance testing for ITU-T G.703 and ANSI T1.102
communications standards.
H Use TDSPWR3 Power Measurement Software to quickly measure and analyze power dissipation in power
supply switching devices and magnetic components.
