affordable floating and differential measurements.

Selecting the right probes for the job

Different passive probes are available, depending on your application. With

the included TPP0101/TPP0201 passive probes, the TPS2000B can

TPP0201, the reference lead of the probe must be maintained within

are well suited for working on digital and analog circuits in which the

Measurements on power conversion electronics usually require probes with

higher voltage ratings. Tektronix offers two passive probes with insulation

systems specifically designed for making floating measurements. With their

100X attenuation, and 1000 VRMS rating, the optional P5122 probes (when

coupled with the TPS2000B) are suitable for making measurements on

480 VRMS devices in Category II environments, with a maximum float

voltage of up to 600 VRMS relative to earth ground. With the optional

making AC-coupled ripple measurements on high-voltage DC power

supplies.

Speed the design and test of industrial power

systems and circuits

From mobile phones to industrial motor drives, power conversion

technology has enabled significant advances in size, performance, and

energy efficiency. But even the most basic task of viewing a converter's

input and output is complicated by multiple voltage references. Multiple

references also make it challenging to view signals from control circuits and

power circuits at the same time. Using ground-referenced oscilloscopes in

these applications, without appropriate differential probes, can damage

circuits and produce bad measurements. For debugging power conversion

electronics, IsolatedChannel technology reduces the risk of damage and

unintended circuit interactions.

For performing power system measurements, TPS2PWR1 power

application software is available as an option for the TPS2000B. It provides

advanced power measurements right on the oscilloscope, at an entry-level

price.
