Tektronix TDS3000C Series Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes

Performance You Need at a Price You Can Afford

Performance in an Affordable Package
The TDS3000C Series digital phosphor oscilloscopes (DPO) provide you with the performance you need at a price you can afford. Bandwidths range from 100 MHz to 500 MHz, with up to 5 GS/s sample rates for accurate representation of your signal.
DPOs Provide a 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 and 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 applied 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 remains even after the acquisition is stopped.
Quickly Debug and Characterize Signals with DRT Sampling Technology and sin(x)/x Interpolation
The TDS3000C 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. With the TDS3000C Series there is no 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 oscilloscopes in its class, while sin(x)/x interpolation ensures precise reconstruction of each waveform.

Easy Setup and Use


When working under tight deadlines, you need your oscilloscope to be intuitive; you want to minimize time spent learning and re-learning how to use it. The TDS3000C Series oscilloscopes help reduce your learning curve. Simple navigation and dedicated front panel controls get you to where you want to be quickly, so that you spend less time learning and more time on the task at hand.

Simple Documentation and Analysis
The TDS3000C Series comes equipped with a USB host port so you can easily store and transfer measurement information to your PC. OpenChoice® PC Communication Software allows you to simply pull screen images and waveform data into a stand-alone desktop application or directly into Microsoft Word and Excel.

To complement OpenChoice, National Instruments LabVIEW SignalExpress™ Tektronix Edition Software provides you with extended capabilities including advanced analysis, data logging, remote instrument control and live waveform analysis.

If you prefer not to use a PC for analysis, the TDS3000C Series comes standard with 25 automatic measurements, waveform add, subtract, divide and multiply math functions and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Unlike other comparable oscilloscopes, the TDS3000C Series math and measurement allows you to use the full acquisition record length or isolate a specific occurrence within an acquisition.

Instrument Control
Utilizing the built-in Ethernet port, e*Scope web-based remote control allows you to a control TDS3000C Series oscilloscope from anywhere, using the Internet and your PC.
