Quickly and easily capture waveforms with advanced triggering.
See all the details other oscilloscopes might miss with Tektronix proprietary digital real-time sampling.
Performance You Need at a Price You Can Afford
The TDS2000C Digital Storage Oscilloscope Series provides you with affordable performance in a compact design. Packed with standard features including USB connectivity, 16 automated measurements, limit testing, data logging, and context-sensitive help the TDS2000C Series oscilloscopes help you get more done, in less time.
Digital Precision for Accurate Measurements
With up to 200 MHz bandwidth and 2 GS/s maximum sample rate, no other digital storage oscilloscope offers as much bandwidth and sample rate for the price. Tektronix proprietary sampling technology provides real-time sampling with a minimum of 10X oversampling on all channels, all the time to accurately capture your signals. [. . . ] The built-in data logging feature means you can set up your oscilloscope to save user-specified triggered waveforms to a USB memory device for up to 8 hours.

Connect Your Bench for Intelligent Debug
Every TDS2000C Series oscilloscope ships with an included copy of the Limited Tektronix Edition of National Instrument's LabVIEW SignalExpress for basic instrument control, data logging, and analysis. SignalExpress supports the range of Tektronix bench instruments*2 enabling you to connect your entire test bench. You can then access the feature-rich tools packed into each instrument from one intuitive software interface. This allows you to automate complex measurements requiring multiple instruments, log data for an extended period of time, time correlate data from multiple instruments, and easily capture and analyze your results, all from your PC. Only Tektronix offers a connected test bench of intelligent instruments to simplify and speed debug of your complex design.
Easily capture, save, and analyze measurement results with included National Instrument's LabVIEW SignalExpress, Limited Tektronix Edition software.
Performance You Can Count On
In addition to industry-leading service and support, every TDS2000C Series oscilloscope comes backed with a Lifetime Warranty*1 as standard.
