Besides the channel inputs and the EXT TRIG input (two-channel models only), a Floppy Disk Drive and Centronics Parallel Printer Port was available on the original and B version of this oscilloscope series until the C version which replaced the Floppy with a USB drive, and the Parallel port was removed altogether. Optional Communication Modules include the [[TDS3GM]] (GPIB/RS-232), [[TDS3VM]] (VGA/RS-232), [[TDS3EM]] (Ethernet/RS-232), [[TDS3GV]] (GPIB, RS-232/VGA), and the [[TDS3SDI]] 601 Serial/Digital Video Module. | Besides the channel inputs and the EXT TRIG input (two-channel models only), a Floppy Disk Drive and Centronics Parallel Printer Port was available on the original and B version of this oscilloscope series until the C version which replaced the Floppy with a USB drive, and the Parallel port was removed altogether.

Up to four Applications modules can be added into the small door in the upper right corner to transform the oscilloscope into a specialized instrument for limit testing, telecommunications mask testing, and video troubleshooting. The [[TDS3AAM]] Advanced Analysis Module, [[TDS3LIM]] Limit Testing Module, [[TDS3TMT]] Telecommunications Mask Testing Module, and the [[TDS3VID]] Extended Video Analysis Module were available for added functionality.

The [[TDS3TRG]] (Advanced Trigger) and [[TDS3FFT]] (Fast Fourier Transform) application modules enabled their respective functions in the original model of this oscilloscope series but the functions were permanently enabled at TDS3000B firmware version 3.21, making those two application modules irrelevant. | ||
There are many options for signal acquisition, measurement, and analysis. The Getting Started section of the User Manual is a great place to become familiar with the many functions available in the use of this sophisticated instrument. | There are many options for signal acquisition, measurement, and analysis.
