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 an d 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 ap p lied 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 rem
ains even after the acquisition is stopped.
Quickly Debug and Characterize Signals with DRT
Sampling Te
The TDS3000C Series combines unique digital real-time (DRT) sampling
technolog
a wide range of signal types on all channels simultaneously. With the
TDS3000C Series there is n o 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

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 t
hree hours of operation without line power.
Characteristics
TDS3BATC provides you with up to three hours of portable battery operation.
