The Tektronix 2230 is a 100 MHz digital storage oscilloscope purpose-built for signal analysis, waveform capture, and electronic system validation. This dual-channel instrument combines real-time and equivalent-time sampling with non-volatile waveform storage, enabling engineers to acquire, document, and analyze transient events and repetitive signals in laboratory and field settings.
