The TDS-series scopes by Owon are cheap 4-channel scopes with a large 8” touchscreen and a large memory capacity. Measurement results can be transferred to a USB storage device, or directly to a PC using the USB connectors available. The storage can be done both as binary data and as a screenshot. When less than three channels are used simultaneously the sampling rate for the first channels can be doubled.
The models in the TDS series differ mainly in bandwidth and sample rate. The key differences are displayed in the table below
