Tektronix TVS625A Waveform Analyzer. 2-Channel, 1GHz, 5GS/s

The Tektronix TVS625A is a 2-channel VXI waveform analyzer delivering 1 GHz bandwidth and 5 GS/s sampling rate for high-performance signal acquisition and characterization. Built on digital real-time acquisition technology, it provides 8-bit vertical resolution across standard (15,000 samples) and extended (30,000 samples) memory modes, with sample intervals as short as 200 ps/point. The instrument supports flexible triggering via internal, external, and VXI backplane sources, alongside comprehensive processing including waveform math, FFT analysis with digital filtering, template testing, and measurement limit verification. Full SCPI programmability and high-speed data transfer enable seamless integration into automated test systems.
