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?
18 guaranteed specs. Class-leading accuracy. Read why that matters
The best probes at the best price: free.
Probes should not be overlooked as a key element in the measurement signal path. When you buy an MDO3000 you get the industry’s best probes free. Featuring industry-best loading of 3.9 pF and high bandwidth to match your oscilloscope, the TPP-series probes will be your go-to probe for everyday use.
