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.

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

Look for unintentional circuit noise with the TDS3000C Series’ FFT capability.
Custom video triggering allows the TDS3000C Series to trigger on standards such as
