Option upgrades
The 3 Series MDO products offer a number of ways to add functionality after the initial purchase.
Post-purchase instrument options
Option upgrades add functionality to your 3 Series MDO after you receive it from the factory. The upgrades are enabled by installing a
software license key that is specific to the model and serial number of your oscilloscope. The license key from Tektronix is provided with
the purchase of your options.

Bandwidth upgrade options
Instrument bandwidth can be upgraded on any 3 Series MDO product after initial purchase. Each upgrade product increases analog
bandwidth and spectrum analyzer frequency range. Bandwidth upgrades are purchased based on the combination of the current
bandwidth and the desired bandwidth. Software option key depends on the instrument model and serial number combination. Bandwidth
upgrades up to 500 MHz can be performed in the field, while upgrades to 1 GHz require installation at a Tektronix service center.
