documentation and analysis

web-based remote

control, and five application-specific modules

into a lightweight, battery-capable design.

DPO Technology Provides a Greater Level of Insight Into Complex Signals

DPO technology delivers superior insight

into complex signals with the ability to

display, store and analyze three dimensions

of signal information in real-time: ampli-

tude, time, and distribution of amplitude

over time. Fast waveform capture rates

make it easier to capture and display

infrequent waveforms or waveform varia-

tions, while the intensity graded display

helps you locate and characterize wave-

form anomalies that can be elusive on

traditional digital storage oscilloscopes.

Enhanced Troubleshooting Ability

WaveAlert™waveform anomaly detection

speeds your troubleshooting tasks by

helping you find those elusive problems

faster. WaveAlert detection monitors the

incoming signals on all channels and will

detect and highlight any waveform that

deviates from the normal waveform being

acquired. Because the TDS3000B oscillo-

scope can stop acquisition, sound a beep,

make a hard copy or save the waveform

when it detects an anomaly, you can

run tests over long time periods – even

unattended – to find those challenging,

very infrequent failures.

Simple, Speedy Documentation and Analysis

OpenChoice™solutions deliver simple,

seamless integration between the oscilloscope

and the PC. Using a standard, built-in Ethernet

port, TDS3GV optional communication module,

floppy disk, TDSPCS1 OpenChoice software

and integration with third-party software,

and e*Scope web instrument control, the

TDS3000B Series provides you with multiple

choices to easily capture, transfer, document,

and analyze your measurement results. This

seamless integration extends the power

and value of these brilliantly engineered,

ultra-affordable oscilloscopes.

WaveAlert™waveform anomaly detection alerts you to any waveform that deviates from the “normal” input.

e*Scope®Web-based Remote Control

e*Scope means you can control your

TDS3000B oscilloscope from anywhere,

using the Internet and your PC. Simply

connect the TDS3000B oscilloscope to your

LAN via its built-in Ethernet port, open

a browser window on your PC and enter

the TDS3000B oscilloscope’s IP address

in the Address window. The oscilloscope will

respond, allowing you to control it from your

browser. Download e*Scope control software

to your PC for a graphical interface that

displays the TDS3000B oscilloscope screen

and front panel controls for easy access.

Flexible Features for Every Application

Optional application modules enable you to

transform your oscilloscope into a specialized

tool for limit testing, telecommunications

mask testing, and video troubleshooting.

And, with its lightweight, compact size and

battery pack, the TDS3000B Series oscillo-

scope can go wherever it is needed. It weighs

only 4.5 kilograms, with battery installed.

Use the optional plug-in thermal printer

to instantly document your work, even in

the field.

TDS3AAM Advanced Analysis Module – Adds
