TPS2000B Series Oscilloscopes for Powerful
Productivity from Bench to Field
The TPS2000B Series offers a distinctive range of capabilities in an
oscilloscope with controls and menus you will find familiar and easy to
use. Available in 2- or 4-channel versions, the TPS2000B Series with
IsolatedChannel™ technology provides isolation from ground and isolation

Different p

the included TPP0201 passive probes, the TPS2000B can measure up to
400 V
. However, to meet the safety rating of the TPP0201, the reference

relative to ground.

Because of this, the TPP0201 probe is well suited for working on digital and
analog circuits in which the maximum voltage never exceeds 30 V

Measurements on power conversion electronics usually require probes with
higher voltage ratings. Tektronix offers two passive probes with insulation

Digital Storage Oscilloscopes — TPS2012B • TPS2014B • TPS2024B
Perform th
ree-phase power measurements of variable frequency drives.
Speed the Design and Test of Industrial Power Systems
and Circuits
From mobile phones to industrial motor drives, power conversion
technology has enabled significant advances in size, performance, and
energy efficiency. But even the most basic task of viewing a converter’s
input and
output is complicated by multiple voltage references. Multiple
references also make it challenging to view signals from control circuits and
power circuits at the same time. Using ground-referenced oscilloscopes in
these applications, without appropriate differential probes, can damage
circuits and produce bad measurements. For debugging power conversion
electronics, IsolatedChannel technology reduces the risk of damage and
unintend
ed circuit interactions.
For performing power system measurements, TPS2PWR1 power
tion software is available as an option for the TPS2000B. It provides
applica
advanced power measurements right on the oscilloscope, at an entry-level
price.
Conduct harmonic distortion measurements with TPS2PWR1 software.
For dialing in the performance of switching components, the power
application software adds important measurements to the TPS2000B,
including automatic switching loss, dv/dt, and di/dt cursor measurements.
For measurements on AC line voltage and for checking the impact on
the power distribution system, the power application s oftware shows
harmonic content to the 50th harmonic, and provides phase, reactive power
consumption, and powe r factor measurements. With the four-channel
TPS2014B or TPS2024B, you can view three-phase voltages or currents.
Two power “bundles” are available, combining probes and measurement
software. Each package combines four probes with the TPS2PWR1 power
application software, at prices that are lower than if purchased separately.
The TPS2PBND combines four P5120 20X passive, high-voltage probes
with TPS
2PWR1 power application software. The TPS2PBND2 combines
four P5122 100X passive, high-voltage probes with the power application
software.
