sci.electronics.design Tektronix DPO2002B scope
Has anyone here used a Tektronix DPO2002B scope or one of that family? The intended setup on the scope would be a horizontal sweep rate of 1 millisec per graticle/division with the objective of recording 2 channels for about 5, 6 or
7 seconds. With the DPO2002B's claimed memory of 1 million points, 6 seconds of recording would require a sampling rate of 166 samples per graticle (166666 per second), which is much more than adequate. Unfortunantly the manual gives no information regarding sample rates and merely states the scope "use real-time sampling" and doesn't mention if it also uses or doesn't use sequential sampling. This lack of clarity regarding sample rates and sampling methods makes determining the scope's ability to handle the intended testing impossible. So I'm hoping someone here has had some experience with Tek's DPO2000 series and could render an opinion.Hul
