TDS3054

TektronixDSO

The Tektronix TDS3054 is a 4-channel, 500 MHz Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope (DPO) from the TDS3000 series, combining a high sample rate of 5 GS/s with real-time three-dimensional signal viewing (amplitude, time, and distribution over time). Extremely portable and designed for efficient benchtop troubleshooting, it features a built-in floppy disk drive, comprehensive advanced triggers, and standard FFT analysis.
