Designed to make your work easy

The TBS1000 series oscilloscopes are designed with the ease of use and
familiar operation you have come to expect from Tektronix.

Intuitive operation
The intuitive user interface with dedicated per-channel vertical controls,
auto-setup, and auto-ranging makes these instruments easy to use,
reducing learning time and increasing efficiency.

Help when you need it, where you need it

Quickly and easily capture waveforms

To simplify integration with your existing curriculum, the TBS1000 also

includes an Education Resource CD filled with tools to help beginners
master the use of an oscilloscope. The TBS1000 offers the tools and
performance you need at a price you can afford.

Critical tools for troubleshooting your device

Advanced triggers - rising/falling edge, pulse width, and video - help you
quickly isolate your signals of interest. Once you've captured a signal,
advanced math capabilities and automated measurements can speed your
analysis. Quickly perform an FFT or add, subtract, or multiply waveforms. The context-sensitive help system provides important information specific to the task you

Limit test
The USB host port on the front panel enables you to save your instrument
settings, screenshots, and waveform data in a flash. The built-in Data
Logging feature means you can set up your oscilloscope to save user-
specified triggered waveforms to a USB memory device for up to 24 hours.
You can also select the "Infinite" option for continuous waveform
monitoring. With this mode you can save your triggered waveforms to an
external USB memory device without a duration limitation until the memory
device is full. The oscilloscope will then guide you to insert another USB
memory device to continue saving waveforms.

Easy PC connectivity
Easily capture, save, and analyze measurements results by connecting to
your PC with the rear-panel USB device port and the included copy of
OpenChoice PC Communications Software. Simply pull screen images and
waveform data into the stand-alone desktop application or directly into
Microsoft Word and Excel. Alternatively, if you prefer not to use your PC,
you can simply print your image directly to any PictBridge-compatible
printer.
Limit test provides a quick Pass/Fail comparison of any triggered input signal to a user-
defined template

The oscilloscope can automatically monitor source signals and output Pass
or Fail results by judging whether the input waveform is within predefined
boundaries. Specific actions can be triggered on violation including
stopping waveform acquisition, stopping Limit Test functions, saving the
failed waveform data or screen image to a USB memory device, or any
combination of the above. This is an ideal solution for manufacturing or
service applications where you need to make decisions quickly.

Flexible data transfer

Easily capture, save and analyze measurement results with OpenChoice™ PC

communications software

Performance you can count on

In addition to industry-leading service and support, every TBS1000 series
oscilloscope comes backed with a 5-year warranty as standard.

Data logging enables automatic saving of triggered waveforms

Educational resources
Every TBS1000 model includes an education resource CD filled with tools
to help beginners master the use of an oscilloscope. The education
resource CD includes two labs and instructor's guides, and two primers.
The Introduction to Oscilloscopes lab and instructor's guide explains the
basics of oscilloscope operation complete with hands-on exercises for
classroom environments. The Introduction to Oscilloscope Probes lab and
instructor's guide explains the fundamentals of probing and how probes can
affect measurement quality. The two primers included are the most popular
and widely-used from Tektronix - the XYZs of Oscilloscopes and ABCs of
Probes.

The included education resource CD is filled with tools to help beginners master the use
of an oscilloscope.
