Specifications
This chapter begins with a general description of the traits of the TDS 510A Dig-
itizing Oscilloscope. Three sections follow, one for each of three classes of traits:
nominal traits, warranted characteristics, and typical characteristics.
General Product Description
The TDS 510A is a portable, four-channel oscilloscope suitable for use in a
variety of test and measurement applications and systems. Key features include:

NTSC, PAL, SECAM, HDTV, and FlexFormat
TM
(user definable format)
video trigger modes
Waveform Math — Invert a single waveform and add, subtract, and multiply
two waveforms, and optionally 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 50,000-point record length per channel
Full GPIB software programmability; hardcopy output using GPIB, RS-232,
or Centronics ports (RS-232 and Centronics are option 13)
Complete measurement and documentation capability

horizontal and vertical knobs
On-line help at the touch of a button
A full complement of advanced functions, like continuously updated
measurement results and local pass/fail decision making
Specialized display modes, including variable persistence, dot or vector
mode, sin(x)/x or linear display filters, and Fit-to-Screen compression of the
waveform record to fit on the screen
