The Tektronix TDS8000B is a Digital Sampling Oscilloscope built for ultra-high-bandwidth waveform acquisition. It combines extensive on-board measurement and waveform-processing capability with strong measurement repeatability, high vertical resolution, and fast waveform acquisition and display update rates, making it a measurement tool for semiconductor testing, TDR characterization of circuit boards, IC packages and cables, and high-speed digital communications.
The instrument is applied to semiconductor testing, impedance and crosstalk characterization using TDR, and high-speed digital data communications. With its optical sampling modules it also addresses telecom signals from 155 Mb/s to 43 Gb/s and datacom standards including FibreChannel, InfiniBand, and Gigabit Ethernet, providing complete optical test solutions alongside general-purpose optical signal testing.
ValueTronics stocks and holds its inventory in a 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive, Elgin, Illinois. Every used unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house by our technicians before shipment, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received — we never open or test a new instrument. Holding our own stock lets us match the right configuration to an engineer's application and ship it without delay.
The TDS8000B is part of the Tektronix 8000 Series sampling oscilloscope platform, which combines Windows-based PC technology with world-class waveform-acquisition hardware in a modular mainframe. Rather than fixing performance at the factory, the platform accepts a family of electrical and optical plug-in modules, so the same mainframe can be configured for the measurement at hand both now and in the future.
The electrical and optical sampling modules form the family that defines the instrument's reach. Electrical modules address device characterization and TDR from 12.5 GHz up to 70+ GHz, while optical modules deliver telecom and datacom conformance testing across a wide range of standard data rates.
Each pre-owned configuration is offered on its own product page with condition-matched pricing. Select the mainframe and the sampling modules that fit your bandwidth, channel-count, and optical or electrical requirements; the page you are viewing reflects the condition and pricing for that specific selection.
Within the platform, the TDS8000B pairs a multi-processor architecture and dedicated per-channel DSP with a 14-bit acquisition system, sustaining high waveform-acquisition rates regardless of the number of channels in use and supporting up to eight simultaneous automated measurements.
The modules differ primarily in bandwidth, channel count, and specialty function. Among the electrical modules, the 80E02 is a dual-channel 12.5 GHz low-noise module, the 80E03 and 80E04 are 20 GHz modules (with the 80E04 adding TDR capability), the 80E01 is a single-channel 50 GHz module, and the 80E06 is a single-channel 70+ GHz module.
Optical modules differ by wavelength range, supported data-filtering rates, and clock-recovery options, spanning tributary telecom rates through 40 Gb/s telecom and 10 Gb/s datacom standards. The comparison table that follows summarizes these per-module differences so a configuration can be matched to the target standard.

Important: Bandwidth is determined by the installed plug-in modules and may exceed 70 GHz as higher-speed modules become available.
Important: The TDS8000B mainframe requires one or more electrical or optical sampling modules to acquire signals; rise time and bandwidth are determined by the installed sampling modules, which are ordered separately.
Important: Clock recovery for the 80C12 optical sampling module is provided via the 80A05 Electrical Clock Recovery Module, which is sold separately.
Important: Gated triggering, which allows the exclusion of selected time periods from being measured, is offered as an option (Opt. GT).
Important: For the 80E06 module, 1 meter or 2 meter length Extender Cables (012-1568-00 / 012-1569-00) can be ordered for remote operation of the sampling module from the sampling oscilloscope mainframe.
Usage tip: pair the 80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module with Tektronix P7000 series probes to probe directly on IC pins, traces, or test points that are not accessible through a connector.
