The Tektronix TDS8000 is a high-performance Digital Sampling Oscilloscope featuring a modular architecture that supports up to eight channels. Designed for high-speed telecom and datacom testing, it delivers bandwidths up to 50 GHz (module dependent) along with exceptional trigger jitter performance and horizontal timebase stability. The system runs on a Microsoft Windows-based graphical user interface with a 10.4-inch display, combining high measurement resolution and repeatability with a comprehensive suite of automatic measurements.
