Hi all,
I have a Tektronix Model TDS 1012 which is a 100MHz/1GS/s 'scope but unfortunately, for the time being, I seem to have misplaced this during a move. So while I continue to check storage for this, I'm looking to pick up another (more modern) scope.
My research has me leaning towards the Tektronix MDO34 3-BW-100 - MSO / MDO Oscilloscope, 3 Series, 4 Analogue, 100 MHz, 2.5 GSPS (link:
https://export.farnell.com/tektronix/mdo34-3-bw-100/mixed-domain-osc-4-16ch-100mhz/dp/3104068) vs Keysight DSOX3024T (link:
https://export.farnell.com/keysight-technologies/dsox3024t/oscilloscope-4-ch-200mhz-5gsps/dp/2449635). Both are 4-channel.
For similar cost, the Keysight has more grunt out of the box: 200MHz/5GS/s however, the Tektronix has:
- 100Mhz / 2.5GS/s
- Much larger display
- HDMI out
- Upgradable bandwidth / samples/s (at added cost)
- Digital probe that is very handy as I work a lot more in the MCU domain.
- Nicer UI, controls. Can even plug a physical mouse to control cursor on screen.
I'm actually sold by the touch-sensitive large display.
My use-case is mainly microcontroller, power-electronics, switch-mode PSU design related; I'm not entirely sure that I would need the extra bandwidth headroom with the Keysight unit.
Thoughts?
Thanks!!
