Basic scope with enhanced visualisation

5 October 2016 Test & Measurement

Tektronix announced the launch of the new TBS2000, a basic oscilloscope featuring what the company claims are the longest record length and largest display in its class, for faster signal evaluation and troubleshooting.

This latest addition puts expanded capabilities, including the ability to use a wide range of Tektronix probes, into the hands of budget-constrained design engineers and educators.

Building on the success of the TDS2000 series, the new TBS2000 features a large display for easy signal visualisation and a comprehensive set of automatic waveform measurements that are coupled with graphical explanations to help engineers better understand their measurements.

Design engineers use general-purpose oscilloscopes to prototype, debug and validate designs of new products and for general troubleshooting. In education, such oscilloscopes give students hands-on experience in electronic engineering and educators need to efficiently mentor and monitor large groups of students. The TBS2000 meets these requirements and more.

Models are available with 70 MHz or 100 MHz bandwidth and with 2 or 4 channels. With a 9” WVGA display, the TBS2000 can display 15 horizontal (time) divisions.

A 20 Mpoint record length with single-knob pan and zoom provides the ability to capture long time duration signals and easily navigate to find important details.

Support for the Tektronix VPI probe interface – the first time for a low-cost Tektronix oscilloscope – allows users to use a wide range of the company’s active probes at an affordable price. New HelpEverywhere context-sensitive, configurable help provides on-screen tips for important settings.

Wi-Fi dongle support enables wireless connectivity so educators can easily set up electronic engineering labs or engineers can take advantage of the instrument’s LXI-compliant interface to conveniently control the oscilloscope remotely.
