The Tektronix TDS3034C is a 300 MHz, 4-channel Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope delivering real-time acquisition at 2.5 GS/s across all channels with a 10k record length. It captures waveforms continuously at 3,600 wfms/s and detects glitches as narrow as 1 ns typical via peak detect. The instrument includes 25 automatic measurements, FFT analysis, WaveAlert anomaly detection, and advanced triggering with B-trigger capability spanning 13.2 ns to 50 s delays or 1 to 9,999,999 event counts. TekProbe interface supports active, differential, and current probes with automatic scaling. Channel-to-channel deskew reaches ±10 ns. Compact benchtop form factor: 375 mm width, 5.9 inches depth, 7 lbs weight. Optional rechargeable lithium-ion battery extends runtime to three hours. Single-button Autoset enables rapid instrument configuration.
