Hello Folks,
need to advise on some things related to the TDS5xx series for buyers.
First of all, only the D models can do GRADIENTED DPO - on classic
InstaVu scopes, frequency information is discarded and only a one bit
bitmap is farted out from the DPO database.
If a black and white model is bought, the BIOS is said to be forceable
to work in color by adding some memory - I did not test this though:
If you buy a TDS54xD or a 75xD, you can furthermore boost its speed.
Four SMD caps must be removed, then a recal is mandatory (!!!).
Oh, and owners of a GPIB card can also enable a batch of options except
for the mysterious Java runtime and the TV trigger. Most of the TDS
units can be enabled to have either 1m or 2m, but I am not sure if you
want this as the scope becomes superslow.
Tam
With best regards
Tam Hanna
