specificities
- TPP system probes come standard. One per analog channel.
- Industry-leading capacitive probe load of 3.9 pF
- 250 MHz, 500 MHz, or 1 GHz probe bandwidth, depending on instrument bandwidth
Up to 40% for micro-signal measurements
When measuring small signals, it is critical to reduce the instrument's noise floor for better measurement accuracy.The new front-end design used in the 3 Series MDOs helps you improve noise measurement accuracy by up to 40%. When evaluating oscilloscopes, be sure to carefully check the oscilloscope's random noise specifications. Oscilloscopes vary, and not all oscilloscope manufacturers test and publish their random noise specifications.
