000c series digital phosphor oscilloscopes

VGA COLOR Display...	Color makes it easy to distinguish displayed waveforms and their measurements, and to select waveforms for set up.
Battery Operation...	Convenient operation for up to 3 hours away from an AC power source (with TDS3BAT option) Allows floating measurements up to 30 Vrms for easy measurements of low voltage, non-ground referenced signals. Also, can eliminate ground loops or ground noise problems that may interfere with getting true measurements of the circuit under test.
Intensity Graded Display...	Intensity grading makes it easy to distinguish infrequent signals and anomalies from normal signals. Infrequent events are dim, more frequent events are brighter.
Sample Rate up to 5 GS/s...	Provides full rated bandwidth on single shot or non-repetitive signals.
Fast Waveform Capture Rate.....	Our 5000 waveform / sec. capture rate provides a live response when adjusting components or signal conditions. Captures rare events that can be missed by typical digital scopes.
Compact / Lightweight Design...	Only 14.8" wide, 6.9" high, 5.9" deep..... convenient to use in small, confined spaces in the field or lab. Without the battery, the scope weighs only 7 pounds.
WaveAlert™	Waveform Anomaly detection provides instant 3-D recognition of transients
e*scope	web-based remote control allows full access from anywhere on the network
Front Panel USB Host Port	Standard with every TDS3000C. Easily save reference waveforms and front panel setups for later use in the scope, or for transferring to a computer for furthur analysis or documentation. Update the instrument firmware from a flash drive as new versions become available.
Application Modules...	Customer installable modules extend the features of the TDS3000B Scopes.
Standard Centronics and Ethernet Ports	Quick, convenient hardcopies for documenting waveforms and setups. Easy LAN connectivity.
Available GPIB, RS-232, VGA...	Easy connection to computers for automated control and analysis or connection to larger VGA monitors for easier viewing in classroom and training situations.

Easy Set-Up 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.
