As each product line explored options to redesign their oscilloscopes, assessments were made to determine how much of the new look and feel could be incorporated. These decisions were greatly aided by concept illustrations, which helped visualize the potential designs.

Shown here are a selection of illustrations created for Tektronix, starting with the existing MDO3000 model and evolving it in incremental steps toward a design that more closely resembled the 5 Series MSO Mixed Signal Oscilloscope.

Low Range Product Updates

This same process was undertaken for the Tektronix TBS2000B and TBS1000B Oscilloscopes. These models, priced much lower than the MDO3000, had more limited capabilities in terms of incorporating the features and appearance of the new product line. These limitations were taken into account when creating the product illustrations, allowing the business unit to evaluate design options that were both feasible and aligned with their product goals.
