The TDS 3000 Series of Digital
Phosphor Oscilloscopes
The TDS 3000 oscilloscopes are the lowest priced,
most portable Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes (DPOs).
Now every design engineer and technician can take
advantage of the tremendous benefits of DPOs. DPOs
deliver a new level of insight that makes dealing with
complex signals simple. DPOs display, store, and
analyze, in real-time three dimensions of signal infor-
mation: amplitude, time, and distribution of
amplitude over time.
BENEFITS OF DPO
DPOs have an intensity graded color display that
provides information about the frequency of occur-
rence of signal amplitudes and widths. This helps
the user locate and characterize waveform anomalies
that can be elusive on traditional Digital Storage
Oscilloscopes. The fast update rate of DPOs also
makes it easier to capture and display infrequent
waveforms or waveform variations.

QUICK TO LEARN AND QUICK TO USE
The TDS 3000 Series graphical user inter-
face offers a new operating mode called
QuickMenu. This quick access user inter-
face makes the main oscilloscope controls
accessible with a push of a single button.
Included with every scope is an On-Line
Tour disk that runs in the oscilloscope.
This disk gives an overview of the prod-
uct’s operation and capabilities.
FLEXIBLE FEATURES FOR EVERY
APPLICATION
The portable form factor allows the
instrument to go wherever it is needed.
The Communication and Application
Modules enable the instrument to be con-
figured for specific applications or
upgraded without returning it to the man-
ufacturer. The TekProbe®Level II
interface provides power to a range of
application specific accessories.
APPLICATION MODULES
With the application module concept, the
TDS 3000 Series can be easily adapted to
the needs of the user. These modules are
easily installed by the user. At power on
the scope indicates which modules are
installed. Currently, there are five applica-
tion modules available for the TDS 3000
Series – a telecommunications mask test
module, an FFT module, an advanced
trigger module, a 601 digital video module
and an extended video module. In addi-
tion, there are three communication
modules available – a 10Base-T LAN/RS-
232 module, a GPIB/RS-232 module and a
VGA/RS-232 module. Centronics port is
standard.

old but fails to cross a second threshold before
crossing the first again.

either faster or slower than a set rate. Edges can
be rising, falling, or either.
Comm (must purchase TDS 3TMT) –provides
isolated pulse triggering required to perform
DS1/DS3 telecommunications mask testing per
ANSI T1.102 standard.
