TekVPI
®
Interface and active probe support
The TekVPI probe interface sets the standard for ease of use in probing.
With this interface the TBS2000B Series Oscilloscope supports a wide
range of the latest voltage and current probes, providing coverage for many
applications. These probes are powered by and communicate with the
TBS2000B through the VPI interface. Scale factors and status information,
such as error conditions, are sent to the instrument for processing and
display. This saves you from having to manually set scale factors, calculate
offsets, or the need to degauss your current probes.
The new front end design with higher 2GS/s sample rate offers lower noise
and higher effective bits enabling more accurate measurements.
TekVPI probes communicate scale settings, ranges, and status to the TBS2000B.
First in its class with wireless
communications
On the rear of the instrument, you will find several communications ports.
The USB device port or LAN port can be used to control the instrument
using the fully-documented command set.
Wi-Fi adapters are configured through integrated setup menus and support seamless
wireless communications
The TBS2000B is the first oscilloscope in its class to support wireless
communication. Plug a compatible Wi-Fi dongle into the USB host port and
setup the interface for Wi-Fi from the front panel.
Built-in tips for faster setup
HelpEverywhere is a unique feature on theTBS2000B. It shows instant help
information as you navigate through key menus. The tips include
measurement information, application tips, and general guidance in the
form of text and graphics. You can selectively turn tips on and off from the
HelpEverywhere menu.
HelpEverywhere tips explain important settings.
