Tektronix TPS2012B
The Tektronix TPS2012B 100 MHz, 2 Channel, 1.0 GS/s Digital Storage Oscilloscope offers a distinctive range of capabilities in an oscilloscope with controls and menus you will find familiar and easy to use. The Tektronix TPS2012/B 100 MHz, 2 Channel, 1.0 GS/s Digital Storage Oscilloscope with Isolated Channel 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 Isolated Channel technology simplifies floating measurements. Unlike ground-referenced oscilloscopes, the Tektronix TPS2012-B input connector shells are isolated from each other and from earth ground. Within the specified 600 VRMS maximum float voltage, Isolated Channel technology keeps current from flowing between the Tektronix TPS-2012/B input BNC shells or from any BNC shell to earth.
