Applications

The TDS784D Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope

Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes deliver a level of insight that makes dealing with complex signals elementary.

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 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.

The resulting information-rich display enables the user's eye to integrate the subtle patterns and variations of actual signal behavior.

Easy to Learn and Easy to Use

Extensive user interface design has made the TDS784D truly intuitive to operate. Its familiar front panel layout offers 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 TDS784D 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.

The TDS784D also provides wide dynamic range, flat response, fast overdrive recovery, calibrated DC offset, 1 mV/div sensitivity, 1 ns peak detect and internal calibration.

Powerful and Flexible Triggering

In addition to basic triggering such as edge and pulse-width, this digital phosphor oscilloscope has several trigger modes tailored for specific design and debug applications. Logic and pulse triggers, including setup/hold, glitch, slew rate and timeout 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.

A traditional DSO is unable to display the details and dynamic changes of this composite video waveform.

The same composite video signal, captured with a digital phosphor oscilloscope, shows all the details of this complex waveform in real time.

Color-Grading

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

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

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

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.

The horizontal histogram of the selected region of the waveform shows the character of a metastable flip-flop output.

Application Software Packages

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

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 Fibre 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 TDS784D. These accessories are designed to operate via the TEKPROBE interface, which provides power and automatic scaling, to complete the DPO measurement solutions.

A SONET/SDH (OC-3/STM-1) signal is compared with the standard mask, showing a compliant waveform.

Active Probes, such as the P6245, were designed specifically for the DPO products. For example, the P6245 (1.5 GHz probe only) is capable of achieving the full 1GHz bandwidth on a TDS784D, while providing low loading.

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 Fibre Channel.

High-bandwidth Differential Probes (P6248, P6247, P6330) enable high bandwidth 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.

Sophisticated Documentation

Transfer the disk to a PC for import into word processing applications. Make hardcopies directly to monochrome or color printers and plotters connected to the computer network (LAN), GPIB, RS-232 or Centronics ports, or acquire waveforms, screen displays and scope settings using Tektronix WaveStar™ software running on a PC interfaced to the GPIB port.
