control windows are stored as files on the
hard drive, they can easily be transferred
to other TDS5000B Series oscilloscopes, or
they can even be e-mailed to a co-worker
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
The TDS5000B also introduces a compre-
hensive suite of right mouse click menus that
make simple things as they should be –
simple. Right click menus are context sensi-
tive, 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 read-
outs. 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.
The customization and efficiency provided
by MyScope control windows and right click
menus make the TDS5000B Series the world’s
easiest to use midrange oscilloscope, enabling
you to achieve levels of productivity you
wouldn’t have thought possible with your
current oscilloscope.
The Performance and
Feature Set You Expect
Performance
The TDS5000B Series digital phosphor
oscilloscopes (DPO) deliver up to 1 GHz
bandwidth, 5 GS/s real-time sample rate,
16 M record length, and a suite of advanced
triggers, enabling you to capture and char-
acterize even your most demanding signals.
DPOs provide unmatched insight into signal
behavior by displaying, storing and analyzing
complex signals in real-time using three
dimensions of signal information: amplitude,
time and distribution of amplitude over time.
The TDS5000B Series DPO, enabled by
Tektronix proprietary DPX ® acquisition
MyScope. MyScope control windows are
created using a simple, visual drag and
drop process. MyScope. Once created, they are just like
other control windows in the instrument
and are easily accessed from either the
menu or button bars.
