The Tektronix THS3024 is a 200 MHz, 4-channel handheld digital storage oscilloscope engineered for field and laboratory measurements in power electronics, industrial automation, and automotive/avionics applications. It delivers isolated and floating measurements with a 7-hour battery runtime, supporting extended troubleshooting sessions away from mains power. The instrument combines high-speed acquisition with advanced analysis: 21 automatic measurements, FFT spectral analysis, TrendPlot™ for fault logging, waveform pass/fail testing, and a 100-screen display recorder for post-capture review.
