The TBS1000B-EDU Digital Storage Oscilloscope Series is designed

specifically to meet the needs of today's schools and universities. It's the
first oscilloscope to use an innovative new Courseware system that enables
educators to seamlessly integrate teaching materials onto TBS1000B-EDU
oscilloscopes. The Courseware information is presented directly on the
oscilloscope display and can be used to provide; step by step instructions,
background theory, hints and tips or an efficient way for students to
document their lab work. The instrument includes a 7-inch WVGA TFT
color display, up to 2 GS/s sampling rate, bandwidths from 50 MHz to

Seeing signal details Critical tools for troubleshooting your device

To properly analyze signals you need to make sure that you can see them The TBS1000B-EDU oscilloscope enables students to learn about the
in enough detail. The TBS1000B-EDU comes standard with a 7-inch high advanced triggers used to debug today's complex circuitry. Standard rising
resolution TFT display for a clear view of all of your signals and critical on or falling edge, pulse width and video trigger set-ups will allow students to
screen information. The instrument is further enhanced by a user interface quickly isolate signals of interest and investigate alternative triggering
inspired by the award winning Tektronix MSO/DPO series of instruments. options using the flexible trigger set-up menus.
The interface is easy to use, provides quick access to all of the oscilloscope
functions and includes a high resolution "Pan & Zoom" feature enabling you
to see even more signal details of up to 10 times normal resolution.

The pulse trigger function can easily capture critical events.

Once signals are captured, the TBS1000B-EDU offers advanced math and
measurement capabilities making it easy to evaluate signal quality . Users
The zoom function shows details in an event of up to 10X the normal view.
can quickly add, subtract and multiply waveforms or use any one of
34 automated measurements to quickly and reliably calculate important
Digital precision for accurate measurements signal characteristics such as frequency, rise time or overshoot.

With up to 200 MHz bandwidth, 2 GS/s maximum sample rate and 3%

vertical measurement accuracy the oscilloscope allows you to see all of
your signals details. With the Tektronix proprietary sampling technology
there are no compromises, you will get the stated real-time sampling rate
on all channels, all the time with at least 10X oversampling. The sampling
performance is not reduced when changing horizontal settings or when
using multiple channels, enabling you to see the true characteristics of your
signals.

Quickly analyze signals with the standard 34 automated measurements.

For advanced frequency analysis, a dedicated front panel button provides

quick access to the FFT function that can show both frequency and time
domain waveforms simultaneously, providing the student with a convenient
way to understand the relationship between their signals and the FFT
results.

Dual channel - 6 digit frequency counters come standard with all TBS1000B-EDU
models.

Quickly perform an FFT with a dedicated front panel button.

To further enhance the teaching process, the oscilloscopes "Autoset"

function can be disabled. For those beginning labs where it is important for
a student to learn the basic operation of the oscilloscope, disabling Autoset
will help them apply their knowledge of an oscilloscope's operation instead
of taking shortcuts with the Autoset button. This feature is password
controlled so Autoset can be disabled or enabled by accessing the Autoset
screen in the Utility menu.

The "Autoset" function can be disabled or enabled by entering a password in the Utility
menu.

The TBS1000B-EDU also comes with built-in dual channel frequency

counters. Independent control of each counter's trigger level provides an
easy way to monitor two different signal frequencies simultaneously.

Courseware feature
The innovative Courseware feature sets up an education ecosystem by
combining powerful PC Course Editor software with the TBS1000B-EDU
instruments and a Courseware landing page. The new feature gives
educators the ability to create lab descriptions and instructions and then
upload the material directly onto a TBS1000B-EDU oscilloscope. Existing
labs can be modified with content that directly supports recent lectures or
explores new ideas discovered in class discussions. Students can perform
their lab work directly on the oscilloscope and record their progress in a
report file consisting of oscilloscope screen captures. Courseware materials
can easily be shared between different labs, professors at the same
institution or even between educators from around the world. The Tektronix
Courseware Web Page is set up to make it easy for educators to share
their own course material or get inspired by reviewing new and interesting The Courseware PC interface uses Labs to build courses. The courses are then used to

Individual Labs can be shared among multiple courses enabling professors
to cater course material to a specific audience. Once all of the courses are
defined a package/workspace file is created which contains all of the
courses with their related labs and enables the content to be uploaded onto
a TBS1000B-EDU oscilloscope.
To accommodate regional differences the Courseware PC software and the
help wizard support is available in 11 different languages.

search engine that allows visitors to search for labs by key word, author,
category, topic and/or language. Although registration for the site is
required, once registered, users are able to download or upload material
and they will also be able to comment on material that they've used.
The context-sensitive help system provides important information specific to the task you
are working on.

The built-in Help menu provides you with important information about your
oscilloscope's features and functions. Help is provided in the same

Frequency counter measures selected trigger source at all times in pulse width and edge mode, including when the oscilloscope
acquisition is halted due to changes in run status, or acquisition of a single shot event has completed.
The frequency counter does not measure pulses that do not qualify as legitimate trigger events.
Pulse Width mode: Counts pulses of enough magnitude inside the 250 ms measurement window that qualify as triggerable events
(e.g. all narrow pulses in a PWM pulse train if set to "<" mode and the limit is set to a relatively small number).
Edge Trigger mode: Counts all pulses of enough magnitude.
