Overview
About GDS-3500 Series
The GDS-3500 Series is GW Instek’s 500 MHz visual persistence oscilloscope (VPO) line, combining 5 GSa/s real-time and 100 GSa/s equivalent-time sampling with an intensity-graded waveform display that reveals signal frequency-of-occurrence information. The selectable 50 ohm, 75 ohm, and 1M ohm input impedance makes the series suitable for RF, video, and general-purpose measurements without external adapters. Split-screen mode allows simultaneous time-domain and frequency-domain views.

| Power Analysis | Optional | Optional |
The VPO display technology highlights waveform anomalies by mapping sample density to color intensity, enabling engineers to spot jitter, runt pulses, and signal integrity problems at a glance. Optional power analysis add-on extends the platform to switching power supply development.
With triple-impedance inputs, the GDS-3500 Series bridges RF characterization at 50 ohm, video system testing at 75 ohm, and standard bench probing at 1M ohm in a single instrument.
GSAS Micro Systems supplies the GDS-3500 Series across India with technical consultation, accessory selection, and warranty support.

AI Data Center Testing: Power Shelves, Busbars, Burn-In and Optics
AI racks fail on the bench long before they fail in the field. How AI data center infrastructure is actually tested: server power shelves and CRPS supplies, 48V busbars, battery backup units, DC-DC stages, burn-in, thermal validation, high-speed switches, and optical transceivers, mapped to the GW Instek instruments GSAS supplies across India.
Testing High-Power UPS, Solar Inverters and Power Electronics: Inside the GW Instek AEL-5000 AC/DC Electronic Load
India's UPS, solar-inverter and power-electronics makers need load testing that behaves like the real world: non-linear, high-power and scalable. Here is how the GW Instek AEL-5000 AC/DC electronic load covers it, from 1.875 kW on the bench to 540 kW in a three-phase array.
