Performance and price

To simplify integration with your existing curriculum, the TDS1000C-EDU also includes an Education Resource CD filled with tools to help you students master the use of an oscilloscope. The TDS1000C-EDU offers the tools and performance you need at a price you can afford.

Digital precision for accurate measuring

With up to 100 MHz bandwidth and 1 GS/s maximum sample rate, no other digital storage oscilloscope offers as much bandwidth and sample rate for the price. Tektronix proprietary sampling technology provides real-time sampling with a minimum of 10X oversampling on all channels, all the time to accurately capture your signals. Sampling performance is not reduced when using multiple channels.

Critical tools for troubleshooting your device

Advanced triggers - rising/falling edge, pulse width, and video - help you quickly isolate your signals of interest. Once you've captured a signal, advanced math capabilities and automated measurements can speed you analysis. Quickly perform an FFT or add, subtract, or multiply waveforms. Sixteen automated measurements quickly and reliably calculate important signal characteristics such as frequency or rise rime.

Help when you need it

The built-in Help menu provides you with important information on your oscilloscope's features and functions. Help is provided in the same language as the user interface.

Probe check wizard

Check out your probe compensation before making measurements with just one button that starts a fast, easy procedure.

Flexible data transfer

The USB host port on the front panel enables you to save your instrument settings, screenshots, and waveform data in a flash.

Easy PC Connectivity

Easily capture, save, and analyze measurement results by connecting to your PC with the rear-panel USB device port and the included copy of OpenChoice® PC Communications Software. Simply pull screen images and waveform data into the stand-alone desktop application or directly into Microsoft Word and Excel. Alternatively, if you prefer not use your PC, you can simply print your image directly to any PictBridge®-compatible printer.
