The Tektronix TDS5104B oscilloscope is a graph-displaying device – it draws a graph of an electrical signal. In most applications, the graph shows how signals change over time: the vertical (Y) axis represents voltage and the horizontal (X) axis represents time. The intensity or brightness of the display is sometimes called the Z axis.
The Tektronix TDS5104B oscilloscope's simple graph can tell you many things about a signal, such as: the time and voltage values of a signal, the frequency of an oscillating signal, the “moving parts” of a circuit represented by the signal, the frequency with which a particular portion of the signal is occurring relative to, other portions, whether or not a malfunctioning component is distorting the signal, how much of a signal is direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) and how much of the signal is noise and whether the noise is changing with time.
Features
4 independent 1 GHz Channels
5 GS/s Maximum Real-time Sample Rate
8M Record Length per channel (16M with opt. 3M)
100,000 wfms/s Maximum Waveform Capture Rate
The Tektronix P6245 probe is an active FET probe that achieves high-speed signal acquisition by solving three traditional problems:
Lower DUT loading (1pF/1M ohm probe loading)
Direct and easy access to SMDs
Access DUT signals and scope bandwidth for TDS600/700/3000/5000/6000/7000 and CSA7000 scopes up to 1 GHz bandwidths (Some TDS6000 or TDS7000 oscilloscopes require a TCA-BNC adapter.)
