The Tektronix DPO7000C Series is a family of four-channel Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes built to support engineers throughout the design cycle, from prototype turn-on to production testing. The series pairs signal acquisition performance with integrated analysis so a single instrument can capture and diagnose both analog and serial bus signals in complex designs, helping engineers find and resolve problems quickly.

A digital phosphor oscilloscope captures electrical signals as waveforms — voltage plotted against time — and uses color-graded intensity to show how often parts of a signal occur. This makes amplitude, frequency, timing, and signal shape visible at a glance, and highlights infrequent anomalies that a conventional display can miss.

ValueTronics stocks test and measurement equipment directly from our own 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every pre-owned unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer.

Brand Heritage

Tektronix was founded in 1946 and operated as an independent company for decades. It was acquired by Danaher Corporation in 2007, and in 2016 it became part of Fortive Corporation, which was spun off from Danaher that year.

Compare Other Models in This Series

The DPO7000C Series comprises four 4-channel Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes — the DPO7054C, DPO7104C, DPO7254C, and DPO7354C — that share a common feature set and differ primarily in analog bandwidth and maximum real-time sample rate. All four models offer the same Pinpoint triggering, Advanced Search and Mark, 53 automated measurements, 12.1 in. touch-screen display, and 25 Mpoint standard record length.

Because the models share architecture, capabilities such as digital phosphor acquisition, FastAcq, FastFrame, the TekVPI probe interface, and Windows-based connectivity apply across the series, while the model number selects the bandwidth and sampling tier appropriate to the application.

Each pre-owned model below is its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Choose the bandwidth and sample-rate tier that fits your application, and the corresponding page will show the specifications and pricing for that specific model.

The four models step through bandwidths of 500 MHz (DPO7054C), 1 GHz (DPO7104C), 2.5 GHz (DPO7254C), and 3.5 GHz (DPO7354C), with corresponding differences in typical rise time and maximum real-time sample rate — the DPO7054C and DPO7104C reach 20 GS/s on one channel, while the DPO7254C and DPO7354C reach 40 GS/s on one channel. The comparison table below details the bandwidth, rise time, sample rate, and noise figures for each model.

Some capabilities are tied to specific models: the optional 500 Mpoint record length (Opt. 10RL) and the 64-bit NRZ serial pattern trigger with clock recovery (Opt. ST1G) apply to the DPO7254C and DPO7354C, while Opt. 2SR — which doubles the maximum real-time sample rate to 40 GS/s — applies to the DPO7104C. Refer to the comparison table and options for the differences relevant to your selection.

Additional differences in specifications beyond the few shown above are not listed here — see each model's full specifications below.

Product Core & Specifications

Important: Maximum input voltage: ±150 V (1 MΩ input, derated at 20 dB/decade to 9 VRMS above 200 kHz); 5 VRMS with peaks ≤ ±24 V on the 50 Ω input.

Important: Several compliance-test options require a separately-ordered test fixture not included with the option: Option USB2 requires the TDSUSBF USB Test Fixture; Options BRR and ET3 require the TF-GBE-BTP or TF-GBE-ATP Ethernet Test Fixture.

Important: Option 10RL (500 M record length) and Option ST1G (64-bit NRZ Serial Trigger), Opt. D-PHY, HSIC, SV23, SV24, SV27 and related ≥2.5 GHz options are available only on the DPO7254C and DPO7354C models.

Important: Option 2SR (double sample rate to 40/20/10 GS/s) is available on the DPO7104C only.

Important: USB 2.0 High-speed decoding/search and Option DDRA / SR-PCIE are available only on models of ≥1 GHz bandwidth.

Important: Floating licenses (DPOFL- prefix) and field upgrades (DPO-UP prefix) are available as alternative ordering methods for the license-key enabled options listed.

Recommended pairing: this series accepts Tektronix TekVPI probes such as the TAP3500 active probe and TCP0030A current probe for automatic scaling and direct current-probe attachment without a separate power supply.
