1 Gigasample/second maximum digitizing rate (TDS 540) - 500 Megasamples/second maximum digitizing rate (TDS 520).
Four-channel acquisition—the TDS 540 offers four full-featured channels; the TDS 520 offers two full-featured channels and two channels with limited vertical scale selections: 100 mV, 1 V, and 10 V.
Waveform Math—Invert a single waveform and add, subtract, and multiply two waveforms. On instruments equipped with option 2F, integrate or differentiate a single waveform or perform an FFT (fast fourier transform) on a waveform to display its magnitude or phase versus its frequency.
Eight-bit digitizers.
Up to 15,000-point record length per channel (50,000-point optional).
Full GPIB software programmability. GPIB hardcopy output. On instruments equipped with option 13, hardcopy output using the RS-232 or Centronics ports.
Complete measurement and documentation capability.
Intuitive graphic icon operation blended with the familiarity of traditional horizontal and vertical knobs.
