Tektronix has unveiled the THS3000 handheld oscilloscope series. The new series is expected to bring a new level of measurement precision and accuracy to engineers and technicians who need to install and repair complex electronic systems in both field and lab environments.
“As electrical systems have become more complex and pervasive, there is a growing need for engineers to correlate field and lab measurements and to perform advanced debugging and analysis in the field,” said Roy Siegel, general manager for oscilloscopes at Tektronix.
“As the first true high-performance handheld oscilloscope, the THS3000 Series has the technical performance for analysis of low voltage analog and digital control signals. In addition, the THS3000 Series offers isolated inputs for safely making high voltage floating or differential measurements,” Siegel added.
With a weight of 4.8 lbs, seven hours of battery life and four isolated channels, the lightweight THS3000 series is built for use in the most demanding conditions.
Models are available with either 100 MHz and 2.5 GS/s maximum sampling rate or 200 MHZ and 5 GS/s sample rate performance. With a 10,000 point record length per each of four channels, users can capture extensive signal information at high sample rates to clearly see signal details.
Offering 21 automated measurements, the THS3000 enables users to make many common measurements quickly and accurately. A built-in Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) function provides insight into to the frequency spectrum of a signal, revealing signal interference, crosstalk, or switching noise.
Handheld oscilloscopes are often used to perform power measurements on motor drives, power converters/inverters and power semiconductor devices. The THS3000 series is equipped to handle these measurements when coupled with the broad selection of voltage and current probes from Tektronix. Each of the four input channels can be configured to match the probe type and attenuation ensuring correct measurements and cursor readings.
The THS3000 oscilloscopes provide an intuitive user interface consistent across the full range of Tektronix oscilloscopes. For initial setup or for situations where connections points are constantly
changing, the THS3000 Series offers single-button Autoset and Autorange features which can automatically set up the trigger system and adjust vertical and/or horizontal oscilloscope settings.
