Summary of GDS-2000 Series Features With bandwidth selections of 200, 100, or 60 MHz, and channel selections of 2 or 4, many major applications in laboratories, production, engineering, or field service can be addressed. All units feature a 1GS/s high sampling rate, and 25k point deep memory for a detailed view of the target waveform. USB host and device connectors allows data save, recall, screen image printout, and remote control. The TFT COLOR LCD display has a wide viewing angle. Optional battery operation allows up to 3 hours remote usage, and the optional GPIB Port gives additional programming flexibility.
Signal Detection The GDS-2000 Series picks up signals in even the most extreme cases, powered by 1GS/s real time and 25GS/s equivalent time sampling rates. .... combined with 3 types of acquisition modes: sample, peak detect, and average. Each unit comes standard with 25k points of deep memory, allowing the collection of more information for a given waveform. Four types of flexible triggers add even more signal capturing flexibility : edge, video ( NTSC , PAL , SECAM ) with line selection, pulse-width, and delay / event ( 2CH models only ).
Measurement Functions A variety of measurement shortcuts reduce repetitive manual operations and save time . Autoset automatically configures the horizontal scale, the vertical scale, and the trigger, giving an instant view of almost any signal . The included 27 automatic measurements include voltage, frequency ( time ), and delay. The GDS-2000 Series run and update results of all measurements in real time. You can view the results either independently, or together in a single display. Add and subtract math operation, with 4 types of FFT are also provided : flattop, blackman, hanning, and rectangular. The Go / NoGo test function detects a user-defined incoming waveform shape, and can send a signal to external devices in case of detection. Program and play features automatically run predefined sequences and setups, boosting productivity in routine measurement situations like production line inspection.
Data Transfer and Printout The USB host connector transfers data quickly and easily between USB flash drives, allowing an almost unlimited amount of memory. Internal storage includes 4 sets of reference waveforms. The GDS-2000 Series handles three types of data: display image ( *.bmp ) for viewing waveform shapes and pasting into documents and presentations, front panel settings for saving and restoring system setups, and waveform configuration (*.csv) for further analysis of signal information. Printouts of display image, color with grayscale, is available through the printer connected to the USB host port. You can set the printout or data saving preference to allow single-press operation for consecutive waveforms.
Setup Recovery and Transfer The last used scope settings are internally stored in nonvolatile memory, automatically recovered on the next power up. If you wish to transfer a setup to another GDS-2000 Series, switching between multiple system settings is done by saving and recalling setup files using a USB flash drive. If a setup ever becomes unwieldy, you can always recover the default system setting in a simple two-step operation.
Remote Access IEEE based remote control commands include most front panel functions, and the syntax conforms to IEEE 488.2 standards. Proprietary PC "Freewave" Windows software is downloadable from the Instek website, also allowing the use of a larger, external monitor if desired. Three types of remote control interfaces with flexible connection settings are provided: USB device, RS-232C, and GPIB (optional).
