Unparalleled measurement accuracy with
up to 200 MHz bandwidth and 2 GS/s
maximum sample rate.
Ultra-fast Setup and Use
The simple user interface with classic,
analog-style controls makes these instruments
easy to use, reducing learning time and
increasing efficiency. Innovative features,
such as the autoset menu, probe check
wizard, context-sensitive help menu and
color LCD display (TDS2000 Series) optimize
instrument setup and operation.
Automatically detects sine waves, square
waves and video signals, with readouts of
relevant measurements and additional
user-selectable views of the signal.
Simple, Speedy
Documentation
and Analysis
OpenChoice™solutions deliver simple,
seamless integration between the oscillo-
scope and the personal computer, providing
you with multiple choices to easily document
and analyze your measurement results.
Pulse-width and field- and line-selectable
video triggers make the oscilloscope ideal
for a wide range of applications.
