Entry level scopes add 7in.display, 34 automated measurements

The TBS1000B-EDU series has an integrated courseware system designed to help students learn more efficiently and effectively while minimising the time instructors need to spend preparing and conducting lab sessions. With integrated courseware, instructors can make their lab exercise content viewable on the oscilloscope and students can conveniently capture lab results straight from the instrument.

To further extend learning options, Tektronix is developing an integrated content ecosystem that includes PC-based courseware editing software and a Tektronix website where a selection of pre-made course content can be downloaded for use on a TBS1000B-EDU instrument for free. Instructors can also use this platform to upload their own course material, viewable on other TBS1000B-EDU instruments, to share with the wider education community.

The new oscilloscopes address basic R&D, service and repair, manufacturing and electronics hobbyist applications.

Instead of the education courseware, the general purpose models come equipped with additional functions. These include enhanced data logging, a limit-test feature to define pass/fail masks for complex signals, and TrendPlot for capturing and monitoring small measurement changes over long time periods.

Distinctive capabilities include an always-on sampling rate of up to 2 GS/s providing 10X oversampling on all channels all the time, a 7-inch high-resolution WVGA display and 34 automated measurements types to maximise efficiency. Bandwidths range from 50 MHz to 200 MHz and all models come with an unrestricted 5 year warranty.
