General Description (Tektronix, retrieved 2023)

The TDS700D Family of Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes

The TDS700D oscilloscopes are the first in the TDS family of Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes (DPOs) designed to keep pace with current and evolving needs in advanced electronic design and debug. DPOs deliver a new level of insight that makes dealing with complex signals elementary - a new level of insight that must be seen to be believed.

DPOs capture, store, display and analyze, in real time, three dimensions of signal information: amplitude, time and distribution of amplitude over time. The benefit of this new third dimension of information is an interpretation of the signal dynamics, including instantaneous changes and the frequency of occurrence displayed in the form of quantitative intensity information.

Easy to Learn and Easy to Use

Extensive user interface design has made the TDS family of products truly intuitive to operate. Each family member shares a familiar front panel layout with dedicated vertical, horizontal and trigger controls. A graphical user interface with over 200 icons helps facilitate understanding and use of the advanced features. A color monitor helps rapidly distinguish between multiple waveforms and measurements. Online help provides a convenient built-in reference manual.

High Fidelity Signal Acquisition

The high waveform capture rate of the TDS700D DPO, together with its high bandwidth and sample rate, delivers instantaneous signal feedback to show the true signals that other scopes may be missing. The DPO acquisition acquires over 1,000 times more data than traditional DSOs, allowing the capture of complex signals, reducing debugging times from hours to seconds.

Channels can be transparently combined to achieve higher sample rates and longer record lengths. The record length can be optionally increased to 8 M points, providing a high-resolution representation of the signal over a long period of time.

All of the TDS products provide wide dynamic range, flat response, fast overdrive recovery, calibrated DC offset, 1 mV/div sensitivity (10 mV maximum sensitivity on TDS794D*1), 1 ns peak detect and internal calibration.

Powerful and Flexible Triggering

In addition to basic triggering such as edge and pulse-width, these Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes have several trigger modes tailored for specific design and debug applications. Logic and pulse triggers, including setup/hold, glitch, slew rate and time-out triggers, capture hard-to-catch digital design problems. The optional video trigger provides line and field selection for NTSC, PAL and HDTV standards. The optional communications trigger capability addresses needs to acquire a wide variety of AMI, CMI, NRZ and Ethernet communication signals.

Advanced Performance Features

Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope operation provides three dimensions of signal information including amplitude, time and the distribution of amplitude over time in the form of quantitative intensity information. The resulting information-rich display enables the user's eye to integrate the subtle patterns and variations of actual signal behavior.

Color-grading displays historical information that has been acquired over time. This is especially powerful when used in DPO operation, where the colors show relatively how often random events occur.

Automatic Measurements eliminate the need for manually measuring the waveform against the graticule or with cursors. Measurement gating (gating not available for DPO operation) allows the user to select a specific part of the live waveform for measurement. Measurement statistics (min, max, mean and standard deviation) give additional information about the variations in the measurements over time (for example, worst case excursions), increasing the confidence in the quality of the measurements.

Waveform Histograms allow the examination of the statistical nature of the signal. Horizontal histograms, which are useful for evaluating signal jitter, sample the waveform within a specified region, sort the values into time bins and plot the accumulated bin values versus time. Vertical histograms, which are useful for evaluating signal noise, sample the waveform within a specified region, sort the values into amplitude bins and plot the accumulated bin values versus amplitude.

For histograms of DPO acquisitions (both live and stored), the specified region can be repositioned and will update to reflect the underlying 3-dimensional data base (32 bits in shallow mode, 64 bits in deep mode).

Communication Mask Testing (available as an option) allows mask compliance testing of a wide variety of communication signals to industry standards. Specialized measurement accessories, unique trigger modes, built-in optical reference receiver filters, mask autoset and mask violation counting make these measurements easily and repeatedly.

Applications Software Packages

These Java-based applications packages reduce the cost, time and complexity common to many application-specific test procedures. These application-specific capabilities are easily installed by using floppy disks and require a hard disk drive (Option HD or Option 2M).

TDSDDM1 provides users with industry-standard measurements such as Track Average Amplitude (TAA), 50% Pulse Width (PW50), Non-Linear Transition Shift (NLTS) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). This capability gives disk drive designers direct measurements in industry-standard terminology.

TDSPWR1 gives designers interested in power consumption applications the ability to automatically calculate True Power, Apparent Power, Power Factor, Instantaneous Power and Energy to eliminate manual calculations.

TDSJIT1V2 performs a suite of jitter measurements with unprecedented accuracy on single-shot waveforms. Jitter information can be displayed as statistics, histograms, time trends or jitter spectrums.

This software makes timing measurements by providing statistics on specific, fully time-correlated data and clock edges. It also performs automated AC timing measurements on all parameters in single-shot acquisitions.

TDSCEM1 performs a suite of automated eye diagram measurements on SONET/SDH and Fiber Channel standards. These measurements include eye height, eye width and quality factor.

TDSCPM1 performs automated parametric measurements of pulse amplitude, spectral power and pulse symmetry to standards requirements. Standards include ANSI T1.102 and ITU-T G.703.

Complementary Measurement Accessories

Tektronix provides a wide range of measurement accessories optimized for the TDS family. These accessories are designed to operate by using the TEKPROBE interface, which provides power and automatic scaling, to complete the DPO measurement solutions.

Active Probes such as the P6249 and P6245 active probes were designed specifically for the DPO products. For example, the P6249 (4 GHz probe only) is capable of achieving the full 2 GHz bandwidth on a TDS794D*1, while providing low loading.

The P6339A Buffered Passive Probe is designed to provide 500 MHz bandwidth at the probe tip for the TDS794D*1.

Optical-to-electrical Converters (P6701B, P6703B) allow convenient analysis of optical transmission signals with the oscilloscope. Both short- and long-wavelength optical converters are compatible with the industry-standard wavelengths for SONET/SDH and Fiber Channel.

High-bandwidth Differential Probes (P6248, P6247, P6330) enable high bandwidth (up to 2.0 GHz) differential measurements while maintaining high common-mode rejection.

Current Probes such as the TCP202 and High-Voltage Differential Probes such as the P5205 and P5210 allow safe, high-power measurements. Direct probe readouts use information from the probes to display measurements in units of amps, volts and watts.
