ZX-TDS10T

TDS10T is the latest digital signal oscilloscope developed by Sony. Compared with conventional analog storage oscilloscopes laboriously operated manually to capture and display signals, the TDS10T is an automated, fully digital instrument. Moreover, as a high-performance universal detection instrument, the TDS10T can be used not only in the laboratory, but also in various industry fields. This article will introduce the application field and working principle of the TDS10T.

Application Field

Thanks to the various features of TDS10T, this oscilloscope is widely used in educational research, acoustic and vibration measurement, power system analysis, wideband communication testing and also nano-safe measurements. In addition, the sweep range of the TDS10T is capable to acquire waveform at very high speeds, which makes it suitable for both transient event analysis in automotive systems related to radar and radio communication, as well as data acquisition and analysis for on-board vehicle system analysis applications.

For engineers and technicians of various industrial fields, TDS10T offers a fast, reliable, and easy to use solution to look at the various signals in their target systems. It can measure multiple channels simultaneously or separately and recognise different types of signals. It also provides a wide range of features, including dual time base operation, multiple triggering modes, signal and user-defined waveform library and auto-measurement. Moreover, the multiple marker functions, such as auto best fit markers, enable engineers and technicians to identify peak-to-peak voltages, rise and fall times, rise and fall times, and more.

Working Principle

The TDS10T uses a structured, digital signal processing technology called atomic-resolution sampling to capture and display dynamic waveforms. In the process, it ensures that signal acquisition and evaluation are free of noise and error-prone environmental influences. The captured signals are represented by atomic resolution with quantisation becoming evenly distributed across the samples. This ensures that the signal waveforms can be accurately measured and various troubleshooting details can be traced accurately.

When digitising a signal, the Analogue-to-Digital Converter(ADC) converts the analogue signal into digital signals. Then, the digitised signals will pass through a signal conditioning circuit and a low-pass filter. This filter ensures that only the relevant signal values are measured accurately and reduces signal errors. Eventually, the waveform data will be displayed as digital values on the graphic user interface.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the TDS10T is a high-performance digital signal oscilloscope, which is applicable to many fields of work and research. Its atomic-resolution sampling technology ensures that the signals it acquires are free from environmental influences and the signals can be accurately measured or evaluated. Thanks to its versatility and accuracy, while TDS10T is widely used in the laboratory, it can also be used for a variety of industrial and automotive applications.
