Tektronix expands entry level scope family with four-channel devices

Tektronix has expanded its TBS1000 oscilloscope series to include three new four-channel models at 60, 100 and 150MHz bandwidth.

The devices are backed by a five year warranty and are said to offer excellent performance and accuracy, with up to 1GS/s sample rate and 2% dc gain accuracy down to 2mV/div. Tektronix says the scopes open up the TBS1000 family to a wider range of test environments, such as entry level design and debug and quality assurance applications. Both the two- and four-channel oscilloscopes include a fully featured, fully documented programmatic interface for instrument control and data transfer, a waveform logging feature that allows users to log waveforms to a USB flash drive, and a pass/fail mask test that allows a user to specify a tolerance band around the signal and take action if the signal goes outside the band.
