Tektronix TDS350

The TDS 300 Series redefines the low-cost digital oscilloscope. By sampling the signal at up to five times the analog bandwidth on both channels simultaneously, you can be assured of true acquisitions, minimizing aliasing or other digital sampling effects. Unlike other DSOs, the TDS 300 Series easily gathers enough samples to display waveforms accuratelyto their full bandwidth. They are the only scopes in their class tha can reliably acquire high-speed transient or single-shot events to their fastest sweep speed.

Many low-cost DSOs offer only dot displays, which can be hard to interpret by those used to analog scopes. The TDS 300 Series has Dot, Dot Accumulate, Vector, and Vector Accumulate display modes - another advantage over the competition.

the Accumulate modes gather multiple waveforms for a user-defined time (500 ms to ¿), after which the screen is cleared. Vector Accumulate mode uses bright vectors to superimpose the current acquisition over the accumulated waveforms. Dot accumulate mode is recommended for viewing video and other complex waveforms. The display is erased at the time set or when the acquisition setting is changed. These modes are useful for doing worst-case analysis or signal monitoring. Long-term monitoring may be done easily by setting the erase time to infinity.
