TPS2000B 3MW1775015
TPS2000B Series Datasheet

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 IsolatedChannel™ technology provides isolation from ground and isolation 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.

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 specified 600 VRMS maximum float voltage, IsolatedChannel technology keeps current from flowing between the TPS2000B input BNC shells or from any BNC shell to earth.

TPS2000B 3MW1775015
Four IsolatedChannel™ inputs and isolated external trigger input for quick, accurate, affordable floating and differential measurements.

Selecting the right probes for the job

Different passive probes are available, depending on your application. With the included TPP0101/TPP0201 passive probes, the TPS2000B can measure up to 400 Vp-p. However, to meet the safety rating of the TPP0101/TPP0201, the reference lead of the probe must be maintained within 30 VRMS relative to ground. Because of this, the TPP0101/TPP0201 probes are well suited for working on digital and analog circuits in which the maximum voltage never exceeds 30 VRMS.

Measurements on power conversion electronics usually require probes with higher voltage ratings. Tektronix offers two passive probes with insulation systems specifically designed for making floating measurements. With their 100X attenuation, and 1000 VRMS rating, the optional P5122 probes (when coupled with the TPS2000B) are suitable for making measurements on 480 VRMS devices in Category II environments, with a maximum float voltage of up to 600 VRMS relative to earth ground. With the optional P5150 probe, the TPS2000B can measure up to 2000 Vp-p, with a maximum float voltage within 600 VRMS of ground. The P5150 is the best choice for making AC-coupled ripple measurements on high-voltage DC power supplies.

Speed the design and test of industrial power systems and circuits

From mobile phones to industrial motor drives, power conversion technology has enabled significant advances in size, performance, and energy efficiency. But even the most basic task of viewing a converter's input and output is complicated by multiple voltage references. Multiple references also make it challenging to view signals from control circuits and power circuits at the same time. Using ground-referenced oscilloscopes in these applications, without appropriate differential probes, can damage circuits and produce bad measurements. For debugging power conversion electronics, IsolatedChannel technology reduces the risk of damage and unintended circuit interactions.

For performing power system measurements, TPS2PWR1 power application software is available as an option for the TPS2000B. It provides advanced power measurements right on the oscilloscope, at an entry-level price.

TPS2000B 3MW1775015
Conduct harmonic distortion measurements with TPS2PWR1 software.

For dialing in the performance of switching components, the power application software adds important measurements to the TPS2000B, including automatic switching loss, dv/dt, and di/dt cursor measurements.

For measurements on AC line voltage and for checking the impact on the power distribution system, the power application software shows harmonic content to the 50th harmonic, and provides phase, reactive power consumption, and power factor measurements. With the four-channel TPS2014B or TPS2024B, you can view three-phase voltages or currents.

Two power "bundles" are available, combining probes and measurement software. Each package combines four probes with the TPS2PWR1 power application software, at prices that are lower than if purchased separately. The TPS2PBND2 combines four P5122 100X passive, high-voltage probes with the power application software.

Quickly debug and characterize signals with DRT sampling technology

Characterize a wide range of signal types on up to four channels simultaneously with the TPS2000B Series Digital Real-Time (DRT) sampling technology. This acquisition technology makes it possible to capture high-frequency events, such as glitches and edge anomalies, that eludes other oscilloscopes in its class, so that you can be sure to get an accurate view of your signal.

Easily analyze and document your measurement results

Quickly reveal signal interference, crosstalk, and the effects of vibration with frequency domain analysis using the TPS2000B Series Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) feature. Then, easily document your measurement results with the integrated CompactFlash® mass storage.

To capture, save, and analyze your measurement results on your PC, the included OpenChoice® PC software can be used. Every TPS2000B Series also ships with a free copy of the special Tektronix Edition of the National Instrument LabVIEW SignalExpress™ software for basic instrument control, data logging, and analysis. The optional Professional Edition of SignalExpress offers over 200 built-in functions that provide additional signal processing, advanced analysis, sweeping, limit testing, and user-defined step capabilities.
