The Tektronix TDS2014B is a 100 MHz, 4-channel digital storage oscilloscope engineered for signal acquisition and analysis across diverse troubleshooting and design verification tasks. Operating at 1 GS/s real-time sample rate with 2.5 kpts record length per channel, it captures transient events with 8-bit vertical resolution on a color LCD display. The instrument delivers a 5 ns to 50 s/div time base range and supports Auto, Normal, and Single Sequence trigger modes, including pulse width and line-selectable video triggers for isolation of specific signal characteristics.
