Digital Storage Oscilloscopes

TPS2000B Series Data Sheet

The TPS2000B Series offers a distinctive range of capabilities in an

oscilloscope with controls and menus you will find familiar and easy to use.

Available in 2- or 4-channel versions, the TPS2000B Series with

between channels allowing you to take measurements with less worry about

damaging circuitry. Battery power comes standard, making it a natural

choice for field applications. For work on power electronics, optional

software integrates commonly needed power system measurements into

the instrument, speeding up power analysis and troubleshooting.

Education

Make floating and differential measurements -

quickly, accurately, affordably

Unintentionally grounding a circuit under test is a common cause of poor

measurement results and circuit damage. Connecting two or more

grounded probes can cause ground loops, and if the current is high enough

can result in ruined components and equipment. Most importantly, taking

floating measurements without the proper instruments and probes can pose

a safety hazard.

Tektronix IsolatedChannel technology simplifies floating measurements.

Unlike ground-referenced oscilloscopes, the TPS2000B input connector

shells are isolated from each other and from earth ground. Within the

keeps current from flowing between the TPS2000B input BNC shells or from

any BNC shell to earth.
