DPOs provide greater level of insight into complex signals

The TDS3000C Series offers fast waveform capture rates on a continuous basis that save you 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 has been 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.
