Tektronix TDS360 2 CHANNEL , DIGITIZING , 200 MHz , 1GS/s

The Tektronix TDS360 is a 2-channel digital storage oscilloscope delivering 200 MHz bandwidth and 1 GS/s real-time sampling per channel. Purpose-built for waveform acquisition and analysis, it captures high-speed signals with minimal aliasing and detects glitches as narrow as 10 ns using Peak Detect mode. The instrument combines versatile trigger capabilities, comprehensive measurement automation, and FFT analysis in a compact form factor suitable for bench and field environments.
