See how the 3 Series MDO user interface helps you work better and faster

The biggest display in its class, and remarkable user interface

With the same made-for-touch user interface technology as the award-winning 5 Series along with the largest display and highest resolution display in its class, the 3 Series MDO works how a scope should work.

11.6 inch HD display
Pinch, tap, swipe capacitive touchscreen

Compact, yet packed with capabilities

Its only 6 inches (15cm) deep but the 3 Series MSO is a lot of oscilloscope. It gives you the tools you need to validate and troubleshoot complex embedded systems.

Up to 5 Gs/s sample rate on each analogue channel
More than 125 trigger combinations
Dozens of automated measurements
Wide range of available serial bus trigger and decode options
Optional 16 digital logic channels
Optional integrated 1GHz or 3GHz spectrum analyser
Optional 50MHz arbitrary/function generator

See how to take great measurements and find elusive artifacts and anomolies
