Tektronix TDS6154C, Digital Storage Oscilloscope, 15GHz, 40GS/s, Loaded with Options #

Unit is tested and in good working and cosmetic condition, please see pictures!
Due to low usage of battery-backed NVRAM (Dallas DS1245) it’s not rare that onboard 3V battery loose some of it’s voltage and oscilloscope is not always booting up as it should. Boot parameters and configuration is stored in PowerPC NVRAM. We highly recommended to keep the devices powered, so that the batteries on the circuit boards last as long as possible.

Uncompromised Performance Oscilloscope Solution – Probing, Acquisition, Analysis, Compliance, and Debug

TDS6000B/C Series digital storage oscilloscopes provide unprecedented performance along with a complete feature set designed to address design validation, debug, and compliance challenges of next-generation computer, datacom, and communications equipment. High bandwidth, high sample rate, and deep memory also provide the ideal solution for data acquisition applications.

Uncompromised Acquisition

You won’t need to need to trade off bandwidth, record length, and sample rate for your serial data measurement and analysis needs. The TDS6000C DSOs provides acquisition architecture with 40 GS/s maximum sample rate and 64 Megasamples record length on two channels (20 GS/s and 32 Megasamples on each of the four channels simultaneously), for the acquisition power you need. They provide the ultimate combination of bandwidth, sample rate, and record length for the fastest signals. The TDS6154C provides matched 15 GHz performance across any two channels using advanced, Tektronix-proprietary DSP enhancement, important for high-speed channel-channel measurements. The user-selectable DSP filter on each channel provides magnitude and phase correction, plus extension of the analog bandwidth to 15 GHz for more accurate signal fidelity on high-speed measurements – easily capturing the fifth harmonic of 3.0 GHz embedded clocks used in next-generation 6.0 Gb/s serial data standards, and even the third harmonic of 5 GHz clocks being developed for future systems. The DSP filter on each channel can also be switched off to take advantage of true 12 GHz analog bandwidth for applications needing the highest available raw data capture.

MyScope® Custom-control Windows

MyScope control windows allow you to build your own control windows with only the controls, features, and capabilities that you care about and are important in your job. For the first time you can create your own personalized “toolbox” of oscilloscope features. No longer do you need to search through menus for features or relearn how to drive the oscilloscope after a break from the lab. MyScope control windows are easily created in a matter of minutes using a simple, visual, drag-and-drop process. Once created, these customized windows are easily accessed through a dedicated MyScope button and menu selection on the oscilloscope button/menu bar, just like any other control window. You can make an unlimited number of custom control windows, enabling each person who uses the oscilloscope, in a shared environment, to have their own unique control window. Since the control windows are stored as files on the hard drive, they can easily be transferred to other TDS5000B or TDS/CSA7000B Series oscilloscopes, or they can even be e-mailed to a coworker around the world when the need arises. MyScope control windows will benefit all oscilloscope users, from eliminating the ramp-up time that many face when returning to the lab after not using an oscilloscope for a while, to the power user who can now operate far more efficiently. Everything you need is found in one control window rather than having to constantly navigate through menu after menu to repeat similar tasks.

Right Clicks

Right-mouse-click menus make simple things as they should be – simple. Right-click menus are context sensitive, meaning the choices presented in the menu depend on where you right clicked the mouse. This makes right-click menus extremely intuitive. Want to change the cursor type? Right click on a cursor or the cursor readouts. Want to change the reference levels of an automatic measurement? Right click on the measurement. Want to change trigger parameters? Right click on the trigger readouts. Want to change a waveform’s color? Right click on the waveform handle. Virtually all objects on the oscilloscope display have right-click menus associated with them that include all the appropriate actions or features relative to those objects. There are also right-click menus for regions of the display in addition to just objects. For example, right clicking in the main graticule brings up a menu with choices such as Clear Data, Default Setup, Autoset, Screen Captures, Save All Waveforms, and Add Screen Text, providing single-click access to many of your most commonly performed tasks.
