Tektronix Launches Two New Oscilloscope Families

Tektronix has announced the launch of two new oscilloscope families that
establish a new benchmark for performance and ease-of-use among instruments in
the low-cost oscilloscope market. The new TDS1000 and TDS2000 Series digital
storage oscilloscopes (DSO) adds new value, performance, and usability features.
Both families are priced to meet the budget constraints of users with
applications as varied as basic electronic repair tasks, automated production
test and monitoring of environmental sensors, design and debug of
microprocessors in a myriad of consumer electronics, and education in
universities and technical training centers. The ultra-lightweight, portable
package saves valuable space on the engineer's bench and makes these instruments
ideal for use by service and repair technicians in the field.

"By incorporating proven innovations from across our broad portfolio of
oscilloscopes, the TDS1000 and TDS2000 families deliver superior performance and
unmatched ease-of-use in their class," said Colin Shepard, Vice President,
Oscilloscope Products, Tektronix. "Many customers put price first when
evaluating test equipment for use in design and debug, service and repair,
manufacturing and quality assurance, or education, yet they can't compromise the
performance and ease-of-use they require,'' he further added.
