TDS5000B Series
The World’s Easiest to Use Midrange Oscilloscope
MyScope Custom Control Windows
The TDS5000B Series offers the industry’s
first easily customizable oscilloscope user
interface. MyScope control windows is a
revolutionary new feature that allows you
to build your own control windows with
only the controls, featur es, and capabilities
that you care about and are important in
your job. For the first time, you can pull
all the functionality you need from all the
various parts of the oscilloscope into one
control window, effectively creating your
own personalized “toolbox” of oscilloscope
features. No longer do you need to sear ch
through menus for features or re-learn
how to drive the oscilloscope after a
break from the lab. MyScope control
windows enable you
to spend your valuable time focused on
the task at hand rather than navigating
menus on your oscilloscope. And creating
these custom control windows isn’t a
long drawn-out or complex process. They
are easily created in a matter of minutes
using a simple, visual, drag and drop
process. Once created, these custom
control windows are easily accessed
through a dedicated MyScope button
and menu selection on the oscilloscope
button/menu bar, just like any other control
window . You can make an unlimited number
of custom control windows, enabling each
person who uses the oscilloscope, in a
shared environment, to have their own
unique control window. Since the 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
comprehensive suite of right mouse click
menus that make simple things as they
should be – simple. Right click menus are
context sensitive, 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 auto-
matic measurement? Right click on the
measurement. Want to change trigger
parameters? Right click on the trigger
readouts. 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 oscil-
loscope, 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 recor d length, and a suite of advanced
triggers, enabling you to capture and charac-
terize 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 technology, delivers greater
than 100,000 waveforms per second
capture rates. Some oscilloscope
vendors claim high waveform capture
rates for short bursts of time, but only
DPOs, enabled by DPX technology, can
deliver these fast waveform capture rates
on a sustained basis – saving minutes,
hours or even days by quickly revealing
the nature of faults so sophisticated trigger
modes can be applied to isolate them.

MyScope. Once created, they are just like
other control windows in the instrument
and are easily accessed from either the
menu or button bars.

Advanced Waveform Analysis
The TDS5000B Series includes a complete
parametric measurement system for signal
characterization. Select from 53 automatic
measurements using a graphical palette
that logically organizes measurements
into Amplitude, Time, Combination,
Histogram, and Communications cate-
gories. Gather further insight into your
measurement results with statistical
data such as mean, min, max, standard
deviation and population. Waveform
cursors make it easy to measure trace-
to-trace timing characteristics, while
cursors that link between YT and XY
display modes make it easy to investigate
phase relationships and Safe Operating
Area violations. Define and apply math
expressions to waveform data for on-scr een
results in terms that you can use. Access
common waveform math functions with
the touch of a button. Or, for advanced
applications, create algebraic expressions
consisting of waveforms sources, math
functions, measurement values, scalars
and user adjustable variables with an
easy-to-use calculator-style editor.
Applied measurement extensions can be
installed to enhance TDS5000B capability.
These software applications build on the
precision acquisition performance of the
TDS5000B Series to address the need
for application specific measurements
to quickly quantify device and system
performance. Optional applications
include power measurement and analysis,
jitter and timing analysis, disk drive meas-
urements, USB compliance testing,
optical storage analysis, ANSI/ITU
telecom pulse compliance, and Ethernet
compliance testing.
OpenChoice®Architecture
The TDS5000B Series includes open
access to the MS Windows 2000
operating environment. While the instru-
ment remains a dedicated oscilloscope,
the ability to access the MS Windows
desktop creates a powerful tool. Built-in
applications such as WordPad, Paint and
a Web browser allow you to concurrently
maintain lab notes while working with
the instrument. This saves time and
eliminates error-prone steps associated
with transporting images for later report
development. Other applications such as
Microsoft Word or Excel, MATLAB and
LabVIEW can be installed on the instrument
to accomplish local documentation or
signal analysis. Installation of the oscil-
loscope on the LAN enables Web-based
information browsing, e-mail exchange,
printing and file sharing. Using the
embedded PCI bus, waveform data
can be moved directly from acquisition
to analysis applications on the
Windows desktop at much faster
speeds than conventional GPIB transfers.
In addition, the OpenChoice architecture
Elusive Glitch. Fast waveform capture
rate, enabled by Tektronix proprietary DPX®
acquisition technology, maximizes the
probability of capturing elusive glitches
and other infrequent events.
Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes
TDS5000B Series
provides a comprehensive software
infrastructure for faster, more versatile
operations. Data transfer programs, such
as the Excel Toolbar, Word Toolbar and
Report Generator are used to simplify
analysis and documentation on the
Windows desktop or on external PCs.
Tektronix’ implementation of industry-
standard protocols, such as TekVISA
interface and ActiveX Control, are
included for using and enhancing
Windows applications for data analysis
and documentation. Or, use the Software
Developer’s Kit (SDK) to help create
custom software to automate multi-step
processes in waveform collection and
analysis with Visual BASIC, C, C++,
MATLAB, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI and
other common Application Development
Environments (ADE). Integration of the
oscilloscope with external PCs and non-
Windows hosts is also supported by the
TDS5000B Series software solutions.
Plug-and-play and IVI instrument drivers
are included to enable easy communica-
tion with the oscilloscope using GPIB,
Serial and LAN
connections from programs running on
the instrument or an external PC. UNIX
applications, and other LAN resources,
