Tektronix TBS2000 digital storage oscilloscope

The Tektronix TBS2000 digital storage oscilloscope, available from RS Components, is a next-generation basic oscilloscope that features what the company claims is the longest record length and largest display in its class, which provides for faster signal evaluation and troubleshooting.

The TBS2000 delivers features such as 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. It is available in a variety of models offering 70 or 100 MHz bandwidth or with two or four channels. The scope also offers a 9″ WVGA display, which can display 15 horizontal (time) divisions that allow users to view 50% more signal than other scope in its category. A 20-Mpoint record length with single-knob pan and zoom enables users to capture long-time-duration signals and provides easy navigation to help users locate important details.

Other key features include support for the Tektronix VPI probe interface and a ‘Help Everywhere’ context-sensitive configurable help utility that provides on-screen tips for important settings. The unit’s Wi-Fi dongle support provides wireless connectivity and allows educators to quickly and easily set up electronics engineering labs for students, as well as enabling engineers to take advantage of the instrument’s LXI-compliant interface to conveniently control the oscilloscope remotely.
