Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes
TDS3000B Series
The TDS3000B Series of Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes
Provides Unmatched Performance and Portability
at an Affordable Price
The TDS3000B Series packs the power
of a DPO, digital real-time (DRT) sampling
technology, WaveAlert waveform anomaly
detection, OpenChoice documentation
and analysis solutions and five applicationspecific modules into a lightweight,
battery-capable design.
A DPO Provides a Greater Level
of Insight into Complex Signals
The TDS3000B Series DPO delivers
3,600 wfms/s continuous waveform
capture rate to capture glitches and
infrequent events three times faster than
comparable oscilloscopes. Some oscillo-
scope vendors claim high waveform
capture rates for short bursts of time,
but your oscilloscope needs to deliver
these fast waveform capture rates on a
continuous basis – saving minutes, hours
or even days by quickly revealing the
nature of faults so advanced triggers
can be applied to isolate them.
In addition, the TDS3000B DPO’s
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.

Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes
TDS3000B Series
Higher Speeds Demand
Greater Bandwidth
You face faster clock rates and edge
speeds, increasingly complex signals and
mounting time-to-market pressures. The
higher the bandwidth of your oscilloscope,
the more accurate the reproduction of
your signal. The TDS3000B Series offers a
wide range of bandwidths from 100 MHz
to 500 MHz to best suit the needs of your
most demanding projects, so that you
can complete your tasks on time and
with confidence.
Quickly Debug and Characterize
Signals with DRT Sampling
Technology and sin(x)/x
Interpolation
The TDS3000B 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.
This sampling technology makes it possible
to capture high-frequency information, such
as glitches and edge anomalies, that eludes
other oscilloscopes in its class, while sin(x)/x
interpolation ensures precise reconstruction
of each waveform. The result – a complete
view of your signal to speed debug and
characterization.
The TDS3000B Series DPO provides
unmatched insight into complex signal
behavior,such as metastable events.
The TDS3054B’s 5 GS/s real-time sample
rate and sin(x)/x interpolation ensure accurate reconstruction of a 500 MHz sine wave.
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
Even with 2 GS/s sample rate, which
exceeds the Nyquist requirement of 2X
oversampling, this 500 MHz oscilloscope
with linear interpolation does not provide
accurate reconstruction of the same
500 MHz sine wave.
WaveAlert waveform anomaly detection
alerts you to any waveform that deviates
from the “normal”input, such as the glitch
on channel 2.
acquired. Because the TDS3000B
oscilloscope 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.
