- Base spectrum analyzer included
- Add instruments and functionality as your testing needs evolve
Accurate Measurements Matter

Put simply, the MDO3000 Series scope is designed to make the most accurate measurements in the industry. While many other instruments only offer low-resolution display data, the MDO3000 takes measurements on actual acquisition data, providing an unrivaled view into your designs. In fact, we’re so confident in the MDO3000 will give you total confidence in your measurements that we guarantee our specifications. After all, measurement accuracy impacts design integrity. Why settle for anything less than exact?
