Other optional accessories, such as WaveStar software and the AD007 GPIB-LAN adapter, add additional functionality to the TDS200. The user interface is similar to that of an analog oscilloscope, but with improvements that reduce learning time and increase efficiency. Knobs and buttons are grouped by function and provide direct access to controls, and each vertical channel has its own dedicated scale and position knobs. Readouts or menus are displayed on-screen at all times, allowing users to more quickly and accurately determine instrument settings. The display responds quickly to control adjustments and has a fast update rate.
All models have a multi-language user interface.
The TDS 200 Series oscilloscopes are designed for people who demand the ultimate in oscilloscope value. If an inexpensive yet high performance oscilloscope is needed for the bench, production line, or training lab, a TDS 200 Series Digital Real-Time Oscilloscope is the best choice. Two productivity enhancing modules are available with capabilities not possible on analogue oscilloscopes. The Communications Extension Module provides printer port plus RS-232 and GPIB programmability. The models differ only in bandwidth.
