Tektronix TDS 520A digitizing oscilloscope FOR PARTS ONLY
The Tektronix TDS 520 digitizing oscilloscope is a portable, four-channel instrument suitable for use in a variety of test and measurement applications and systems. It supplies two full-featured channels, plus two auxiliary channels with fewer vertical scale factors.
- FOR PARTS ONLY
- Two full-featured input channels, each with 8-bit vertical resolution, a sensitivity range of 1 mV/div to 10 V/div, and a selectable record length of 500 to 15,000 samples. A 50,000 sample record length is available with the 1 M option
- Two auxiliary input channels, similar to the full-featured channels but with only three vertical scale settings: 100 mV, 1 V, and 10 V
- Any two of the four input channels can acquire and display waveforms simultaneously
- A maximum digitizing rate of 500 MSamples/s with an analog bandwidth of 500 MHz - bandwidth selections at 20 MHz, 100 MHz, and 500 MHz (Interpolated waveform rate of 500 MSamples/s to 100 GSamples/s - 2 ns/Sample to 1 ps/Sample)
- Extensive triggering capabilities, such as edge, logic, and glitch
- Full programmability and printer/blotter output
- Advanced functions, such as continuously-updated measurements and local pass/fail decision making
- Specialized display modes, such as waveform averaging and variable persistence
- A unique graphical user interface, an onboard help mode, and a logical front panel layout, which combine to deliver a new standard in usability
- GPIB interface - options for RS-232 and Centronics interfaces
- Input coupling: DC, AC, or GND
- Input impedance selections: 1 MΩ or 50 Ω
- Seconds/division range: 500 ps/div to 10 s/div
- Time base delay time range: 16 ns to 250 s
- Delayed trigger time delay range: 16 ns to 250 s
- Time for pulse-glitch or pulse-width triggering: 2 ns to 1 s
- Display resolution: 640 x 480; display graticule: 401 x 501 pixels/8 x 10 divisions, where divisions are 1 x 1 cm
