8″ Multi-Touch Tablet Oscilloscope Series

OWON TAO3000 Series

A portable 2- or 4-channel digital oscilloscope on a large 8″ multi-touch screen — up to 200 MHz, 1 GSa/s and 40 Mpts deep memory, with switchable 8/12/14-bit resolution on the “A” models.

OWON TAO3000 series tablet oscilloscope

A full oscilloscope, in a tablet

The OWON TAO3000 Series puts a genuine bench oscilloscope behind a large 8″ multi-touch capacitive display. Pinch, swipe and tap your way around the waveform exactly as you would on a tablet — while up to 200 MHz of bandwidth, 1 GSa/s real-time sampling and 40 Mpts of memory keep it serious about measurement.

Choose 2 or 4 channels, and the bandwidth your work needs. The high-resolution “A” models add a switchable 8 / 12 / 14-bit ADC for cleaner, more detailed captures, and the 2-channel models build in a 4½-digit multimeter. USB, LAN and optional Wi-Fi, with SCPI and LabVIEW support, make it as at home in an automated rack as on the bench.

Why the TAO3000

A big touchscreen, deep memory and real connectivity — the things that make a scope pleasant to actually use.

8″ multi-touch screen

A bright 800 × 600 capacitive display — pinch to zoom, swipe the timebase and tap menus, no tiny knobs required.

2 or 4 channels, up to 200 MHz

Pick 2 or 4 BNC channels (plus multimeter terminals on the 2-channel models) — each with 1 GSa/s real-time sampling and a 45,000 wfms/s refresh rate.

TAO3000 side interfaces: USB device, USB host, LAN, Trig out and DC input

Connect & automate

USB host/device, LAN and optional Wi-Fi, with SCPI and LabVIEW — capture screens, log data or drive it from a test rack.

TAO3000 measurement performance: low background noise, deep memory, high refresh, triggers and math

Serious measurement performance

Low background noise and 40 Mpts of deep memory catch long, detailed events, with a 45,000 wfms/s refresh plus advanced triggers, waveform math and serial-bus decoding.

Who it’s for & best applications

With its touchscreen, portable form and optional high-resolution ADC, the TAO3000 Series suits field engineers, service technicians and education labs that want a scope that is quick to pick up yet capable enough for real design and repair work — from embedded and power electronics to serial-bus debugging.

Ideal for
  • Field-service & maintenance engineers
  • Education, training labs & makers
  • Embedded, power & general electronics benches
  • Production test & automated (SCPI / LabVIEW) setups
  • Anyone who prefers a touchscreen to front-panel knobs
Typical applications
  • General electronics, audio & power-supply debugging
  • Microcontroller & embedded development
  • I²C, SPI, RS232 & CAN serial-bus decoding (optional)
  • High-resolution capture with the 12/14-bit “A” models
  • Multimeter measurements alongside scope work (2-channel models)
The range

Choose your model

Five models: three 2-channel (70–200 MHz) and two 4-channel (70–100 MHz). Every model shares 1 GSa/s sampling and 40 Mpts memory. Click any model to view its full specifications, pricing and to buy — the standard 8-bit version, the 8/12/14-bit “A” version and the optional Wi-Fi are chosen from the variant picker on that product page. Prices shown are the starting (8-bit) price.

“A” models add a switchable 8 / 12 / 14-bit high-resolution ADC. The 2-channel models also include a built-in 4½-digit multimeter. Wi-Fi is available as an option on every model.
