Oscilloscopes

Tektronix’ Most Popular DSO

The TDS 200 Oscilloscopes
have quickly become the
benchmark for low-cost oscil­loscopes. Offering an unbeat­able combination of perfor­mance, reliability and versa­tility, the TDS 200 Series
offers breakthrough digital
and real-time advantages at
low-cost analog oscilloscope
prices. And with the intro­duction of the TDS 224, Tek­tronix now brings the digital
performance of the TDS 200
to customers that need four
full-featured channels.

Affordable Digital Performance

No other digital oscilloscope
offers as much bandwidth
and sample rate for the price.
By sampling at 10 and 16
times their bandwidths on all
channels, the TDS 200 Series
oscilloscopes provide accu­rate real-time acquisition up
to their full bandwidth.

Versatility and Flexibility

The portable form factor pro­vides increased versatility,
allowing the instrument to be
easily moved or safely stored
away when not in use.

Easy to Use

The user interface is similar
to that of an analog oscillo­scope, but with improve­ments that reduce learning
time and increase efficiency

The Personal Oscilloscope

The TDS 200 Series oscillo­scopes are designed for peo­ple who demand the ultimate
in oscilloscope value. If an
inexpensive yet high perfor­mance oscilloscope is needed
for the bench, production
line, or training lab, a TDS
200 Series Digital Real-Time
Oscilloscope is the best
choice.
