User-friendly digital storage oscilloscope for STEM learning

RS Components now stocks the Tektronix TBS1000C digital storage oscilloscope. Affordable, compact, and simple to use, the device is supplied with enhanced user interface and courseware, offering a great tool for STEM educators, students, and the maker community.

The oscilloscope’s HelpAnywhere system gives useful on-screen tips and hints, including text and graphics, to walk new users through various settings, measurements, and results. The built-in Scope Intro handbook provides operating instructions and information on oscilloscope basics, including FFT analysis. Students can also take advantage of an integrated courseware system with step-by-step instructions on lab exercises displaying on the screen. Educators can load lab exercises within a structured and intuitive framework into which students can capture data for their reports.

A user-friendly device, the oscilloscope comes with an improved viewing angle and a display that is 67% brighter than in earlier models. Dedicated front-panel controls provide users with easy access to all the key settings when on-screen, while large menus with clearly labelled and colour-coded information make it simple to navigate and find information of interest. There is also a zoom function to pan through the record and zoom in to visualise signal details.

The device comes in bandwidths of 50MHz, 70MHz, 100MHz, and 200MHz as well as an extended record length of 20k point on all channels.
