The TDS5000B models offer a Tektronix-exclusive MyScope customizable oscilloscope user interface. MyScope is a powerful feature that allows you to build your own control windows with only the controls, features, and capabilities that you care about and are important in your job. Only with Tektronix oscilloscopes, can you pull all the functionality you need from all the various parts of the oscilloscope into one control window, effectively creating your own personalized “toolbox” of oscilloscope features. No longer do you need to search through menus for features or relearn how to drive the oscilloscope after a break from the lab. MyScope control windows enable you to spend your valuable time focused on the task at hand rather than navigating menus on your oscilloscope. And creating these custom control windows isn’t a long drawn-out or complex process. They are easily created in a matter of minutes using a simple, visual, drag-and-drop process. Once created, these custom control windows are easily accessed through a dedicated MyScope button and menu selection on the oscilloscope button/menu bar, just like any other control window. You can make an unlimited number of custom control windows, enabling each person who uses the oscilloscope, in a shared environment, to have their own unique control window. Since the control windows are stored as files on the hard drive, they can easily be transferred to other TDS5000B Series oscilloscopes, or they can even be e-mailed to a coworker around the world when the need arises. MyScope control windows will benefit all oscilloscope users, from eliminating the ramp-up time that many face when returning to the lab after not using an oscilloscope for a while, to the power user who can now operate far more efficiently. Everything you need is found in one control window rather than having to constantly navigate through menu after menu to repeat similar tasks.
The TDS5000B Series also enables a comprehensive suite of right mouse-click menus to make simple things as they should be – simple. Right-click menus are context sensitive, meaning the choices presented in the menu depend on where you right-clicked the mouse. This makes right-click menus extremely intuitive. Want to change the cursor type? Right-click on a cursor or the cursor readouts. Want to change the reference levels of an automatic measurement? Right-click on the measurement. Want to change trigger parameters? Right-click on the trigger readouts. Want to change a waveform’s color? Right-click on the waveform handle. Virtually all objects on the oscilloscope display have right-click menus associated with them that include all the appropriate actions or features relative to those objects. There are also right-click menus for regions of the display in addition to just objects. For example, right-clicking in the main graticule brings up a menu with choices such as Clear Data, Default Setup, Autoset, Screen Captures, Save All Waveforms, and Add Screen Text, providing single-click access to many of your most commonly performed tasks.
The customization and efficiency provided by MyScope control windows and right-click menus make the TDS5000B models the world’s easiest-to-use midrange oscilloscopes, enabling you to achieve levels of productivity you wouldn’t have thought possible with your current oscilloscope.
