TDS1000 and TDS2000 Series Oscilloscopes. Brilliantly Engineered. Irresistibly Priced.

The TDS1000 Series and TDS2000 Series digital storage oscilloscopes deliver an unbeatable combination of superior performance, unmatched ease-of-use, and affordability in an ultra lightweight, portable package.

Affordable Digital Precision

Unparalleled measurement accuracy with up to 200 MHz bandwidth and 2 GS/s maximum sample rate.

With up to 200 MHz bandwidth and 2 GS/s maximum sample rate, no other color digital storage oscilloscope offers as much bandwidth and sample rate for the price. The TDS1000 and TDS2000 Series oscilloscopes provide accurate real-time acquisition up to their full bandwidth, advanced triggers to isolate signals of interest, and 11 standard automatic measurements on all models.

Pulse-width and field- and line-selectable video triggers make the oscilloscope ideal for a wide range of applications.

Their Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) math function allows the user to analyze, characterize, and troubleshoot circuits by viewing frequency and signal strength (standard on all models).

Precisely analyze, characterize, and troubleshoot circuits – at the push of a button with the autoset menu.

Ultra-fast Setup and Use

The simple user interface with classic, analog-style controls makes these instruments easy to use, reducing learning time and increasing efficiency. Innovative features, such as the autoset menu, probe check wizard, context-sensitive help menu, and color LCD display (TDS2000 Series) optimize instrument setup and operation.

Automatically detects sine waves, square waves, and video signals, with readouts of relevant measurements and additional user-selectable views of the signal.

Simple, Speedy Documentation and Analysis

OpenChoice® solutions deliver simple, seamless integration between the oscilloscope and the personal computer, providing you with multiple choices to easily document and analyze your measurement results.

Choose from optional communication modules, CompactFlash mass storage capability, OpenChoice software, or integration with third-party software.

Easily document and analyze measurement results using OpenChoice® software.

Quickly transfer waveforms and measurement data to an external PC, or between oscilloscopes.
