[. . . ] Fast waveform capture rates on a continuous basis save time by quickly revealing the nature of faults so advanced triggers can be applied to isolate them. Real-time intensity grading highlights the details about the history of a signal's activity, making it easier to understand the characteristics of the waveforms you've captured. Unlike other comparable oscilloscopes, the history remains even after the acquisition is stopped. Quickly Debug and Characterize Signals with DRT Sampling Technology and sin(x)/x Interpolation The TDS3000C Series combines unique digital real-time (DRT) sampling technology with sin(x)/x interpolation to allow you to accurately characterize a wide range of signal types on all channels simultaneously. [. . . ] DPOs provide 3 dimensions of signal information in real time: Amplitude, time, and the distribution of amplitude over time High-frequency and random glitch capture. Captures glitches as narrow as 1 ns (typical) using acquisition hardware at all time base settings Monitors the incoming signals on all channels and alerts the user to any waveform that deviates from the normal waveform being acquired Sample data only Waveform averaged, selectable from 2 to 512 Min-max values acquired over one or more acquisitions Use the Single Sequence button to capture a single triggered acquisition sequence at a time
