TDS360

TektronixDigital

The Tektronix TDS360 is a 200 MHz, 2-channel Digital Real-Time (DRT) oscilloscope designed for benchtop electronic testing, featuring a high real-time sample rate of 1 GS/s on both channels simultaneously. With its integrated 3.5-inch floppy drive, 21 automatic measurements, standard FFT analysis, and optional professional I/O interfaces, the TDS360 provides precise and reliable waveform capture for high-speed glitch detection and transient signal analysis.
