Tektronix TDS-7254B

The TDS7000B Series’ unique combination of superior measurement fidelity, unrivaled analysis, and uncompromised usability makes it the ultimate test machine to simplify and speed the design of high-speed, complex systems. This family offers the industry’s best solution to the challenging signal integrity issues faced by designers verifying, characterizing, and debugging sophisticated electronic designs.

They deliver up to 7.25 GHz (typical) true analog bandwidth, down to 43 ps rise time (20% - 80%), and 20 GS/s maximum real-time sample rate to capture critical events with fine detail. Exclusive DPX® acquisition technology enables waveform capture rates up to 400,000 wfms/s to quickly find rare glitches in seconds or minutes, instead of hours or days. Innovative software solutions deliver domain expertise for advanced analysis and compliance testing, while the OpenChoice® architecture enables users to integrate their expertise through the ability to easily write custom programs or utilize popular commercial software. The intuitive graphical user interface delivers sophisticated capability to advanced users without intimidating occasional users.
