The Tektronix TDS 3032 is a two-channel, 300 MHz Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope delivering real-time signal analysis with intensity-graded color visualization. This benchtop instrument captures waveforms at 2.5 GS/s per channel with 10 kpts memory depth, presenting signal data across three dimensions—amplitude, time, and amplitude distribution—to reveal signal occurrences and anomalies. DPO technology enables continuous waveform capture at 3,600 waveforms/second, making it ideal for transient analysis, complex signal characterization, and design validation.
Engineers and technicians gain access to 25 automatic measurements including frequency, duty cycle, rise/fall times, and peak-to-peak amplitude. Advanced triggering capabilities span edge, video (NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and analog HDTV formats), pattern, width/glitch, runt, and slew-rate modes. The 9-bit vertical resolution accommodates input ranges from 1 mV to 10 V/div (1 MΩ input) and 1 mV to 1 V/div (50 Ω input), with maximum input handling to 150 VRMS. Time-base coverage extends from 2 ns/div to 10 s/div with roll-mode support at 40 ms/div and slower.
Built-in math functions—add, subtract, divide, multiply—combine with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis for frequency-domain investigation. WaveAlert® automatic waveform anomaly detection flags measurement outliers in real time. Trigger-after capabilities include time delays from 13.2 ns to 50 s and event counting from 1 to 9,999,999 occurrences. Measurement statistics (mean, min, max, standard deviation) support statistical analysis workflows.
