I'm in process of repairing an old TDS420 oscilloscope and have been searching in vain for the Field Calibration Software for this scope. I have the cal sw for the 500, 600, and 700 series but not for the 400 series.... yes I have contacted Tek they claim to not have it and I only found one site that claims to have it at a cost of almost $10,000.00 <

Hi guys, As most peple here are likely aware, if you examine the coax cable for a passive oscilloscope probe you find that the inner conductor is made of a highly resistive wire -- something like nichrome, and around 50-200ohms per meter. (For some background on this, check out this article: http://www.dfad.com.au/links/THE%20SECRET%20WORLD%20OF%20PROBES%20OCt09.pdf ). What's no...

I've recently gotten hold of a Tektronix 7633 oscilloscope but can't seem to get a trace or any kind of waveform on the crt. Was wondering if I'm doing something wrong , not doing something right , or is the scope in need of repair? Is the repair complex ( I know my way around a soldering iron ) or should I just sell it for parts. It came with three plug-ins : Dual trace amplifie

I've many times made ad hoc sniffer coils for hunting out EMI & found them invaluable. This more-refined implementation came across my radar this morning, and seemed worthy of revisiting for the group. The EMI Sniffer Probe is a small pick-up coil for probing high-frequency magnetic fields with an oscilloscope, featured in Jim Williams' classic AN118, Appendix E. https://www.analog.com/...

Greetings I have a Tek TDS694C I will be selling, and I'd like to demo it's high speed performance by showing it detecting a rise time - I'm trying to remember exactly what that is - somewhere in picosecnd range? Is there a chip which will show a fast rise time? I believe they use some kind of high speed fpga? thanks in advance jb

Is there a simple Windows or Linux program that can decode serial data out of raw data from an digital oscilloscope? My old logic analyzer does not have any serial data decoding and neither does my scope. So I'd need something that can take in the ADC raw data, I set a threshold to turn that into H/L digital values and the software would fish out the data words. Not sure if it even exis...

Hi Just wanted to share this I just downloaded the open source gain/phase analyzer for the Pico scopes https://bitbucket.org/hexamer/fra4picoscope/wiki/Home It works great So use you Picoscope to get a gain/phase analyzer for free, or if you can use a USB scope also, then spend 129 USD for the cheapest Picoscope with AWG: https://www.picotech.com/oscilloscope/2000/picoscope-2000-...
