characteristic

• The TPP system probe is standard. One for each simulated channel.
• 3.9 pF industry-leading capacitive probe load
• 250 MHz, 500 MHz, or 1 GHz probe bandwidth, depending on instrument bandwidth

The measurement accuracy of small signals has been improved by up to 40%

Reducing the background noise of the instrument is crucial for achieving better measurement accuracy when measuring small signals. The new front-end design used in the 3 series MDO helps you improve noise measurement accuracy by up to 40%. When evaluating an oscilloscope, be sure to carefully check the random noise specifications of the oscilloscope. Oscilloscopes are different, and not all oscilloscope manufacturers test and publish their random noise specifications.
