Oscilloscopes redefined: Breakthrough technology delivers more scope for the same budget
Get more investment protection with the industry’s only fully upgradable
oscilloscope
Upgradability:
Project needs change, but traditional oscilloscopes are
fixed – you get what you pay for at the time of purchase.
With the 3000 X-Series, your investment is protected. If
you need more bandwidth (up to 500 MHz), digital chan-
nels, WaveGen or measurement applications in the future,
you can easily add them all after the fact.
Add at the time of your purchase or upgrade later:
• Bandwidth
• Digital channels (MSO)
• WaveGen 20 MHz Function/Arbitrary Waveform
Generator
• Measurement applications
◦ Serial protocol analysis
◦ Power measurement analysis
◦ HDTV Video triggering and analysis
◦ Advanced math analysis
◦ Mask testing
◦ Segmented memory
◦ Educators’ lab kit
Mask testing
Whether performing pass/fail tests to specified standards
in manufacturing or testing for infrequent signal anomalies
in R&D debug, the mask test option can be a valuable
productivity tool. The 3000 X-Series features the industry’s
only hardware-based mask testing and can perform up to
280,000 tests per second.
Multiple test criteria can be selected including the ability
to run tests for a specific number of acquisitions, time, or
until detection of a failure. Pass/fail masks can be auto-
matically created based on an input reference waveform
along with user-specified tolerance bands, or can be cre-
ated on a PC and then imported via a USB memory stick.
See pages 26 and 27 for more detailed information on
upgradable products.
