Seeing signal details
The TBS1000B Digital Storage Oscilloscope Series provides you with
affordable performance in a compact design. Packed with standard
features - including USB connectivity, 34 automated measurements, limit
testing, data logging, frequency counter, TrendPlot
™
and a context-
sensitive help menu - the TBS1000B Series oscilloscopes helps you get
more done, in less time.
To properly analyze signals you need to make sure that you can see them
in enough detail. The TBS1000B comes standard with a 7-inch high
resolution TFT display for a clear view of all of your signals and critical on
screen information. The instrument is further enhanced by a user interface
inspired by the award winning Tektronix MSO/DPO series of instruments.
The interface is easy to use, provides quick access to all of the oscilloscope
functions and includes a high resolution "Pan & Zoom" feature enabling you
to see even more signal details of up to 10 times normal resolution.

Digital precision for accurate measurements
With up to 200 MHz bandwidth, 2 GS/s maximum sample rate and 3%
vertical measurement accuracy the TBS1000B allows you to see the details
of your signals. With the Tektronix proprietary sampling technology there
are no compromises, you will get the stated real-time sampling rate on all
channels, all the time with at least of 10X oversampling. The sampling
performance is not reduced when changing horizontal settings or when
using multiple channels, enabling you to see the true characteristics of your
signals.
Quickly analyze signals with the standard 34 automated measurements.
A dedicated front panel button provides quick access to the FFT function
that is capable of showing both frequency and time domain waveforms
simultaneously, which provides a convenient way to see the relationship
between signals and the FFT results.

time sampling.
Critical tools for troubleshooting your device
The TBS1000B oscilloscope comes standard with a variety of advanced
triggers used to debug today's complex circuitry. Flexible options for
utilizing rising or falling edges, pulse widths and video trigger set-ups
enable users to quickly isolate their signals of interest.
Quickly perform an FFT with a dedicated front panel button.
For accurate frequency measurements the TBS1000B also comes with
built-in dual channel frequency counters. Independent control of each
counter's trigger level provides an easy way to monitor two different signal
frequencies simultaneously.
The pulse trigger function can easily capture critical events.
Once signals are captured, the TBS1000B offers advanced math and
measurement capabilities making it easy to evaluate signal quality . Users
can add, subtract and multiply waveforms or use any one of 34 automated
measurements to quickly and reliably calculate important signal
characteristics such as frequency, rise time or overshoot.
Dual channel - 6 digit frequency counters come standard with all TBS1000 models.

TBS1000B Digital Storage Oscilloscopes
Extensive monitoring and analysis tools
Intermittent faults can be hard to evaluate, simply because they do not
repeat often making them difficult to capture. The TrendPlot
™
function
helps find those faults by plotting measurement values over long periods of
time. Select the measurement to capture on either or both channels and
then set-up the oscilloscope to continuously monitor those measurements,
plot the data on the display and simultaneously save the information to a
USB thumb drive. Depending on the oscilloscope setting, you'll be able to
capture data for minutes, hours or even days; the only limitation is the size
of the thumb drive.
Flexible data transfer
The USB host port on the front panel enables you to save your instrument
settings, screenshots, and waveform data onto a USB memory device. This
port also supports the built-in Data Logging feature which enables you to
set up the oscilloscope to save user- specified triggered waveforms to a
USB device for up to 24 hours. You can also select the "Infinite" option for
continuous waveform monitoring. In the infinite mode you can save your
triggered waveforms to an external USB memory device without a duration
limitation until the memory device is full. The oscilloscope will then guide
you to insert another USB memory device to continue saving waveforms.
To find intermittent faults the TrendPlot
™
function can monitor measurements for long
periods of time.
Data logging enables automatic saving of triggered waveforms.
Often, only Pass/Fail data is needed to determine if a signal is good. This
can be accomplished easily with the TBS1000B Limit Test feature. The
oscilloscope can be set-up to automatically monitor a source signals and
output Pass or Fail results by evaluating whether the acquired waveform
falls within predefined boundaries. The TBS1000B Limit Test feature allows
users to create templates based on one or two independent reference
waveforms, providing more flexibility when creating masks for complex
signals. If a failure is detected, a series of specific actions can be triggered
which include; stopping waveform acquisition, halting Limit Test functions,
saving a screen image of the failed waveform, or any combination of the
above.
Designed to make your work easy
The TBS1000B series oscilloscopes are designed with the ease of use and
familiar operation you have come to expect from Tektronix.
Intuitive operation
The intuitive user interface with dedicated per-channel vertical controls,
auto-setup, and auto-ranging makes these instruments easy to use,
reducing learning time and increasing efficiency.
The Limit Test feature provides a quick Pass/Fail comparison between any triggered
input signal and a user- defined template.
