"... ... To buy the oscilloscope does gum tree, and now impetuous environment, not many earnest officers, engineers quit today, tomorrow, the
job-hopping, technology transfer frequently, you can be a fine it? Make sense to buy the real intentions oscilloscope manufacturers out of
product, such as Tektronix and other foreign manufacturers, but the price is too high, and contradictions ah! "
This above statement is from an electronic forum for a true fan post, a reflection of a lot of scope to buy the mentality of Chinese
engineers: want to buy high quality but the price is lower oscilloscope. Tektronix has also learned a few years ago a similar voice
customers, which has been developed exclusively for the Chinese market, "Panda" TDS1000C-SC series of Chinese color oscilloscopes. Recently,
the company has upgraded its classic TDS1000/2000 Series oscilloscope, a new generation of "Panda" crystal color C Series TDS2000C &
TDS1000C-SC Series digital real-time oscilloscope, designed to provide Chinese users starting from a lower, higher performance, model
selection More entry-level oscilloscopes.
Tektronix TDS1000/2000 series called the "world's most popular oscilloscope", with its real-time sampling areas in the digital industry's
best performance, rich functionality and intuitive operation of the popular market. "Most Popular" in the title is a figure for the card, the
company's spokesman in 9 major cities in the country is being held, "a new generation of Tektronix oscilloscopes market customer experience
based on the General Assembly" (Event Website: http://www.tek .com / zh / event / wd /), said, TDS1000/2000 series of current global sales
exceeded 50 million units, equivalent to 5 minutes to sell each one to create the industry the most. Now, a new generation of "Panda" crystal
color C products can be described as shoulder the historic mission of the new, can provoke the Tektronix into the "millions sold" club the
beam, let us wait and see.
Face competition from local pressure and relatively inexpensive, Tektronix expert customer experience in this tour of the General
Assembly, the following special display on the competition table. Not help the impression that, in the entry-level oscilloscope market, as
the leader of the Tektronix can not just sit and watch the growth of competitors, played by a new generation of products based oscilloscope,
"High Performance + reasonable price," the combination of cards.
The test is TDS2000C/TDS1000C-SC series of Bi Taike the lowest level models the same level with the other two local competitors, the most
high-end product line models for Competition, using the authority of the State's standard unit of measurement signal The results showed:
Tektronix "Panda" Crystal Series oscilloscopes in its class C has the highest measurement accuracy.
Tektronix oscilloscope measurement accuracy leading reason for competing products, a great "hero" is labeled as the following figure the
number of patent blue Tektronix real-time sampling technique (DRT) ASIC chip, which made high speed A / D conversion components, which is
used in ordinary domestic competitors can not match commercial ADC, which can guarantee "Panda" crystal color C Series oscilloscopes, and
accurate in all channels simultaneously test a variety of signals, to ensure that:
- All the time 10 times over-sampling rate;
- The number of channels open, the sampling rate without loss;
- On all channels in full rated bandwidth.
Local products are basically competing with the market to buy commercial grade ADC, superimposed by alternating sampling technique for
real-time signal measurements, the industry commonly known as "overclocking", but this realization opened simultaneously on the oscilloscope
channel 2 , the sampling rate will decrease the bandwidth of the oscilloscope will be reduced by about half, and there will be signal
distortion.
Compared to international competitors, the Tektronix oscilloscope series of next-generation performance and ease of use also has a clear
advantage, reflected in the following areas: 1. Exactly the same channel performance; 2. There is no loss of signal detail; 3. More
interpolation results; 4. Excellent ease of use, including the lack of equivalent time mode, there is no confusing display, no additional
menus and reading and so on.
"Panda" crystal color C Series oscilloscopes segment customers added bandwidth selection (currently a total, including 10 models),
Tektronix TDS2000C series of dual or four-channel oscilloscope has a 50MHz to 200MHz bandwidth from the various models, with reasonable
prices to provide the required performance engineers. Many existing models of oscilloscopes now offer higher performance, including the
bandwidth of the two models to the present from the original 60MHz 70MHz, and the other two models from the original sampling rate 1GS / s to
the present 2GS / s. Designed for the Chinese market TDS1000C-SC Series "Panda" dual-channel oscilloscope for Oscilloscopes 40MHz to 100MHz
from the bandwidth of up to 1GS / s sampling rate.
Taking into account the habits of engineers, these new oscilloscopes continues the older generation panel button style products, and are
equipped with a new active TFT screen provides a brighter display and a wider perspective; can easily connect with the USB port, New analysis
tools embedded in the probe function, limit testing, data logging capabilities, and a total of 16 automatic measurements plus a frequency
counter, and embedded the Help menu, intuitive operation. Data logging is the particular type of product in the world with the first, the
user-defined time period (30-8 minutes) in the waveform of the trigger with the time stamp. CSV file format to the U disk. This allows
engineers to up to 8 hours of well known events, monitoring the signal changes state is very convenient, freeing their time and eliminating
the use of data logger can help improve the design and test efficiency.
All of these new oscilloscopes are equipped with National Instruments (NI) SignalExpress Tektronix Edition Software
(LimitedTektronixEdition). TDS2000C Series comes standard with a limited lifetime warranty (minimum 10 years, taking into account
technological upgrading and the old parts inventory constraints), TDS1000C-SC Series comes standard with 3 year warranty. Lifetime warranty
is the industry's first instrument, reflecting the Tektronix products in materials, processes and components, etc. with high quality
guarantee.
Chinese engineers are most concerned about the price, Tektronix relevant responsible person said, a new generation of "Panda" crystal
color C Series oscilloscopes oscilloscope not only retained all the most popular of these functions, and provides enhancements and models
starting from a lower (50MHz to TDS2001C), enabling customers to an unprecedented low price to buy the industry's highest value products.
Table 2 shows that many types of price declines for new products is very attractive.
In addition, special offers and new generation of Tektronix oscilloscopes based products supporting the use of new passive probe TPP0x01
series. Passive probe below 100 U.S. dollars on the market, the probe series is the lowest load (<12Pf), the smallest and the only products
meet stringent safety requirements of UL products. New probes with longer, more sharp tip (probe tip 3.8 mm), can detect even small parts,
providing a variety of packaging specifications (10 and 50 packaging), a single probe set the maximum price decreased by 20%.
