Overview

The TBS2072B is a 70 MHz, 2-channel digital storage oscilloscope designed for professional signal analysis and debugging. It features a 2 GS/s sample rate and a 5 Mpts record length, providing high fidelity for capturing complex waveforms over extended time windows. The instrument includes a large 9-inch display and TekVPI probe interfaces to support a wide range of active and current probes.

Why Choose This Part

The 5 Mpts record length allows for the capture of long time periods while maintaining a high sample rate, which is critical for finding intermittent glitches. It features a high-resolution 9-inch WVGA display with 15 horizontal divisions, offering 50 percent more signal viewing area than traditional oscilloscopes. Integrated Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity simplify remote data collection and laboratory management.

Applications

Embedded System Debugging
Analyzing timing relationships and signal integrity in microcontroller-based designs.
Power Electronics Testing
Measuring switching characteristics and ripple in DC-DC converters and power supplies.
Educational Laboratories
Teaching fundamental electrical engineering concepts with a robust, easy-to-use benchtop interface.
Serial Bus Troubleshooting
Verifying physical layer signals for common protocols like I2C, SPI, and UART.

Getting Started

To begin, connect the oscilloscope to a standard 100V to 240V AC power source and perform a signal path compensation (SPC) via the utility menu. Utilize the built-in HelpEverywhere system for on-screen tips regarding specific measurement functions and vertical/horizontal controls. For automated data logging, connect the instrument to a local network via the RJ-45 Ethernet port or use the USB 2.0 host port for direct waveform storage.
