Digital Storage Oscilloscopes
TDS1000 Series • TDS2000 Series
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
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 band-
width, advanced triggers to isolate signals
of interest and 11 standard automatic
measurements on all models.
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).

Ultra-fast Setup and Use
The simple user interface with classic,
analog-style controls makes these instru-
ments 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) opti-
mize instrument setup and operation.
Simple, Speedy Documentation
and Analysis
OpenChoice®solutions deliver simple,
seamless integration between the oscillo-
scope 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.
Unparalleled measurement accuracy with
up to 200 MHz bandwidth and 2 GS/s
maximum sample rate.
Pulse-width and field- and line-selectable
video triggers make the oscilloscope ideal
for a wide range of applications.
Precisely analyze, characterize and trouble-
shoot circuits – at the push of a button with
the autoset menu.
