Digital precision for accurate measurements
With up to 150 MHz bandwidth and 1 GS/s maximum sample rate, no other
digital storage oscilloscope offers as much bandwidth and sample rate for
the price. Tektronix proprietary sampling technology provides real-time
sampling with the stated sampling rate on all channels, all the time to
accurately capture your signals. Sampling performance is not reduced
when using multiple channels.
The TBS1000 Digital Storage Oscilloscope Series provides you with
affordable performance in a compact design. Packed with standard
features - including USB connectivity, 16 automated measurements, limit
testing, data logging, and context-sensitive help - the TBS1000 Series
oscilloscopes help you get more done, in less time.

time sampling
The TBS1000 Digital Oscilloscope Series is especially well suited to meet
the needs of today's schools and universities. Packed with features and
built-in tools, the TBS1000 is easy to learn and simple to operate - ideal for
first-time oscilloscope users and students. Featuring the same user
interface as the Tektronix TDS Oscilloscope Family, your students will learn
to operate the world's most popular oscilloscope platform, with over
500,000 oscilloscopes in operation worldwide.

Datasheet
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 your students
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.
Sixteen automated measurements quickly and reliably calculate important
signal characteristics such as frequency or rise time, while the built-in Limit
Test function enables you to easily identify problems in your signal.
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 on your
oscilloscope's features and functions. Help is provided in the same
languages as the user interface.
Probe check wizard
Check out your probe compensation before making measurements with just
one button that starts a fast, easy procedure.
Quickly perform an FFT with the advanced math functions

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.

Educational resources
Every TBS1000 model includes an education resource CD filled with tools
to help your students master the use of an oscilloscope. The education
resource CD includes two student labs and instructor's guides, and two
primers. The
Introduction to Oscilloscopes
student lab and instructor's
guide explains the basics of oscilloscope operation complete with hands-on
exercises for your students. The
Introduction to Oscilloscope Probes
student 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.
