The Tektronix TDS2024 is a 4-channel digital storage oscilloscope delivering 200 MHz bandwidth and 2 GS/s real-time sample rate per channel for accurate high-speed signal capture. The color LCD display renders clear waveforms across a 1/4 VGA screen, while 11 automatic measurements accelerate routine analysis tasks. Advanced triggering—edge, pulse width, and video (NTSC, PAL, SECAM)—isolates signals with precision. Math functions including waveform arithmetic and FFT enable spectral and harmonic analysis. Vertical sensitivity spans 2 mV to 5 V/div with ±3% DC accuracy and 8-bit resolution. Input impedance is 1 MΩ in parallel with 20 pF, rated to 300 VRMS CAT II (derated above 100 kHz). Repetitive and single-shot acquisition modes support noise averaging. Record length is 2.5K points per channel.
