Floating and Differential Measurements – Quickly, Accurately, Affordably

Floating and differential measurements can be made much more quickly and accurately, and speed verification of power supply performance, complex control circuits and the effects of neutral current for differential voltages, up to 30 VRMS floating on four channels simultaneously, when the TPS2000 Series is paired with its standard P2220 passive probe.

We can easily perform these measurements up to 600 VRMS CAT II (or 300 VRMS CAT III) floating when the oscilloscope is coupled with its optional P5120 passive, high-voltage probe.

Rise and fall times can be accurately characterized with other waveform parameters in circuits with different low levels or ground references, while removing ground loop interference, with just 37 pf capacitance to chassis on each of four isolated channels.

Speed the Design and Test of Industrial Power Systems and Subsystems

The TPS2000 Series easily addresses several unique challenges that plague industrial power designers and technicians. You regularly confront high voltages and currents, and must often make potentially hazardous floating measurements. With the TPS2000 Series’ power bundle (TPS2PBND), which includes the P5120 passive, high-voltage probes and TPS2PWR1 power measurement and analysis software, you can use a single instrument to make a broad range of measurements.

High voltages and currents can be easily evaluated and power electronics control circuits can be debugged, with differential voltages up to 600 VRMS CAT II (or 300 VRMS CAT III) floating. You can accurately measure three-phase power and circuits with different low levels or ground references.

It also allows us to quickly perform a broad range of powerspecific measurements, such as switching loss, harmonic distortion measurements to the 50th harmonic, and dv/dt and di/dt cursor measurements.

Quickly Debug and Characterize Signals with DRT Sampling Technology

We can characterize a wide range of signal types on four channels simultaneously with the TPS2000 Series’ unique digital real-time (DRT) sampling technology. This acquisition technology makes it possible to capture high-frequency information, such as glitches and edge anomalies, that eludes other oscilloscopes in its class, so that we can be sure to get a complete view of your signal to speed debug and characterization.

Easily Analyze and Document Your Measurement Results

With this system it is possible to quickly reveal signal interference, cross-talk and the effects of vibration with frequency domain analysis with the standard Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) feature. The integrated CompactFlash mass storage or OpenChoice® software allows for easy documentation and analysis of test results.

Correlate Your Measurements from Bench to Lab to Field

The TPS2000 Series works well in the lab, or in the field, with 8 hour continuous battery life - all in a highly mobile package. Hot-swappable batteries extend this freedom almost indefinitely. We can work our way from the bench to the field without missing a beat.

Optimize Your Productivity with Versatility

The oscilloscope operates intuitively with familiar, analog-style knobs per channel. Measurement time is reduced with features like autoset, autorange, automatic measurements, 10X to 1000X vertical position control, probe check wizard, and context-sensitive help. Fianlly, the backlit menu buttons and brightness/contrast controls allow for work in varying light conditions.
