TDS3032B

The Tektronix TDS3032B is a 300 MHz, 2-channel Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope (DPO) from the TDS3000B series. Known for its compact and lightweight design, it features a 2.5 GS/s maximum real-time sample rate, a 9-bit vertical resolution, and built-in continuous waveform capture technology at 3,600 waveforms per second to quickly uncover anomalies. Standard features include an integrated Ethernet port, 25 automatic measurements, FFT capabilities, and an intuitive QuickMenu multi-language interface.
