Of your signal, more of the time:

64 levels of intensity grading in the 2000 X-Series shows significantly more detail than the GDS-2000A.

Don’t sacrifice bandwidth for speed: The 2000 X-Series achieves > 50,000 waveforms per second update rate with up to 500X the sample rate of the GDS-2000A.

The GDS-2000A achieves fast update rates by reducing its acquisition memory to 1,000 points. This can cause sample rate to drop by a factor of 500. The 2000 X-Series does this automatically to get fast update rate and long memory, without having to manually switch between modes.

With the power of 5 instruments in 1:

Best-in-class oscilloscope Provides features not normally found in this class of scope such as a large display, deep memory, and powerful triggering.

Protocol analyzer Provides protocol-aware triggering, decode, search, and navigation for serial buses.

Logic timing analyzer (MSO) Ideal for R&D engineers on a tight budget who need more than the traditional 2 or 4 analog channels.

Industry-exclusive WaveGen 20 MHz built-in function generator Ideal for educational or design labs where bench space and budget are limited.

Integrated digital voltmeter Provides a 3-digit voltmeter measurements (DVM) and 5-digit counter measurements inside the oscilloscope. The voltmeter operates through the same probes as the oscilloscope channels.
