Product Description

Tektronix TDS5054B oscilloscope is a graph-displaying device – it draws a graph of an electrical signal. In most applications the graph shows how signals change over time: the vertical (Y) axis represents voltage and the horizontal (X) axis represents time. The intensity or brightness of the display is sometimes called the Z axis. The Tektronix TDS5054B oscilloscope’s simple graph can tell you many things about a signal such as: the time and voltage values of a signal the frequency of an oscillating signal the “moving parts” of a circuit represented by the signal the frequency with which a particular portion of the signal is occurring relative to other portions whether or not a malfunctioning component is distorting the signal how much of a signal is direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) and how much of the signal is noise and whether the noise is changing with time.
