What it is

The Tektronix TDS 3054 is a digital phosphor oscilloscope. The Tektronix TDS3054 is a four-channel, 500 MHz scope with a 5 GS/s sample rate, 9-bit vertical resolution, and a TFT color screen. The Tektronix TDS3054 was produced from 1998 to an unspecified later date.[1][2][3]

How it works

The Tektronix TDS3054 has a continuous waveform capture rate of 3,600 waveforms per second and real-time intensity grading. The Tektronix TDS3054 provides a record length of 10 K points. The Tektronix TDS3054 supports 25 automatic waveform measurements and waveform add, subtract, divide, and multiply math functions. The Tektronix TDS3054 supports Fast Fourier Transform and advanced math functions including integrate, differentiate, algebraic expressions, math functions, scalars, and user adjustable variables. The Tektronix TDS3054 has optional communication modules that include GPIB, RS-232, VGA, Ethernet, and a serial or digital video module. The Tektronix TDS3054 also accepts application modules for advanced analysis, limit testing, telecommunications mask testing, extended video analysis, advanced trigger, and Fast Fourier Transform functions.[1]
