TPS2000 Series Oscilloscopes Deliver
Powerful Productivity from Bench to Field

As an engineer or technician, you must

often make floating, or differential,

measurements. You face faster edges

and clocks due to the migration of

higher performance technologies to

widely implemented electronic systems

and subsystems, with the pressure to

conform to customer specifications or

industry requirements.

And you may need to develop and test

designs in a variety of challenging

environments that demand versatility.

You can quickly tackle these tough

challenges to speed the design, trouble-

shooting, installation, and maintenance of

components and systems with the world’s

first 4-isolated-channel, full featured,

battery-powered oscilloscope – the

TPS2000 Series.

Four IsolatedChannelTMinputs and isolated
external trigger input for quick, accurate,
affordable floating and differential
measurements.

Make Floating and
Differential Measurements –
Quickly, Accurately,
Affordably

Make floating and differential measure-

ments much more quickly and accurately,

and speed verification of power supply per-

formance, complex control circuits and the

effects of neutral current for differential

voltages, up to 30 V

floating on four

RMS

channels simultaneously, when the

TPS2000 Series is paired with its

standard P2220 passive probe.

Easily perform these measurements up to

600 V

CAT II (or 300 V

RMS

CAT III) floating

RMS

when the oscilloscope is coupled with its

optional P5120 passive, high-voltage probe.

Accurately characterize rise and fall times

and other waveform parameters in circuits

with different low levels or ground references,

while removing ground loop interference,

with just 37 pf capacitance to chassis on

each of four isolated channels.

Innovative IsolatedChannel

technology

makes these measurements possible – all

designed with your safety in mind.

Perform three-phase power measurements
of variable frequency drives.

Speed the Design and Test
of Industrial Power Systems
and Subsystems

The TPS2000 Series easily addresses the

unique challenges that plague industrial

power designers and technicians. You

regularly confront high voltages and

currents, and must often make potentially

hazardous floating measurements. With the

TPS2000 Series’ power bundle

(TPS2PBND), which includes the P5120

passive, high-voltage probes and TPS2PWR1

power measurement and analysis software,

you can use a single instrument to make a

broad range of measurements.

Easily evaluate these high voltages and

currents, or debug power electronics control

circuits, with differential voltages up to

600 V

CAT II (or 300 V

RMS

CAT III) floating.

RMS

Accurately measure three-phase power

and circuits with different low levels or

ground references.

Quickly perform a broad range of power-

specific measurements, such as switching

loss, harmonic distortion measurements to

the 50th harmonic, and dv/dt and di/dt

cursor measurements.

Conduct harmonic distortion measurements
with TPS2PWR1 software.

Capture elusive glitches – the first time –
with digital real-time (DRT) sampling
technology.

Quickly Debug and
Characterize Signals with
DRT Sampling Technology

Characterize a wide range of signal types

on four channels simultaneously with the

TPS2000 Series’ unique digital real-time

(DRT) sampling technology. This acquisition

technology makes it possible to capture

high-frequency information, such as glitches

and edge anomalies, that eludes other

oscilloscopes in its class, so that you can

be sure to get a complete view of your

signal to speed debug and characterization.
