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.

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

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.
