DPOs Provide a Greater Level of Insight into Complex Signals

To solve a problem, first you need to see it. The TDS3000C Series combines 3,600 wfms/s continuous waveform capture rate and real-time intensity grading so you can see the problem and solve it.

Fast waveform capture rates on a continuous basis save time by quickly revealing the nature of faults so advanced triggers can be applied to isolate them.

Real-time intensity grading highlights the details about the history of a signal’s activity, making it easier to understand the characteristics of the waveforms you’ve captured. Unlike other comparable oscilloscopes, the history remains even after the acquisition is stopped.

Quickly Debug and Characterize Signals with DRT Sampling Technology and sin(x)/x Interpolation

The TDS3000C Series combines unique digital real-time (DRT) sampling technology with sin(x)/x interpolation to allow you to accurately characterize a wide range of signal types on all channels simultaneously. With the TDS3000C Series there is no change in sampling rate when additional channels are turned on, unlike other comparable oscilloscopes. This sampling technology makes it possible to capture high-frequency information, such as glitches and edge anomalies, that elude other oscilloscopes in its class, while sin(x)/x interpolation ensures precise reconstruction of each waveform.

• Look for unintentional circuit noise with the TDS3000C Series’ FFT capability.
• Custom video triggering allows the TDS3000C Series to trigger on standards such as RS-343 (26.2 kHz scan rate).
• The TDS3000C Series provides breakthrough test speeds for telecommunications line card testing. The telecom QUICKMENU puts all the commonly used telecom test functions on a single menu.
• The TDS3000C Series with the TDS3LIM module is ideal for manufacturing test applications where fast Go/No-Go decisions are required.
• Trace and identify ITU-R BT.601 video signals with the TDS3SDI 601 Serial Digital Video Module.
• WaveAlert waveform anomaly detection alerts you to any waveform that deviates from the “normal” input such as the glitch on channel 2. 

Easy Setup and Use

When working under tight deadlines, you need your oscilloscope to be intuitive; you want to minimize time spent learning and relearning how to use it. The TDS3000C Series oscilloscopes help reduce your learning curve. Simple navigation and dedicated front-panel controls get you to where you want to be quickly, so that you spend less time learning and more time on the task at hand.

Simple Documentation and Analysis

The TDS3000C Series comes equipped with a USB host port so you can easily store and transfer measurement information to your PC.

OpenChoice^® PC Communication Software allows you to simply pull screen images and waveform data into a standalone desktop application or directly into Microsoft Word and Excel.

To complement OpenChoice, National Instruments LabVIEW SignalExpress™ Tektronix Edition Software provides you with extended capabilities including advanced analysis, data logging, remote instrument control, and live waveform analysis.

If you prefer not to use a PC for analysis, the TDS3000C Series comes standard with 25 automatic measurements, waveform add, subtract, divide, and multiply math functions, and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Unlike other comparable oscilloscopes, the TDS3000C Series math and measurement allows you to use the full acquisition record length or isolate a specific occurrence within an acquisition.

Instrument Control

Utilizing the built-in Ethernet port, e*Scope web-based remote control allows you to a control TDS3000C Series oscilloscope from anywhere, using the Internet and your PC.

Work Where you Need to

The TDS3000C Series packs the power of a DPO in a compact design that is only 5.9 in. (149 mm) deep, freeing up valuable benchtop space. And when you need to move your oscilloscope to another lab, its portable 7 lb. (3.2 kg) design makes for easy transport.

If your work demands even more mobility, then the optional battery pack will give you up to three hours of operation without line power.
