Tektronix TBS1000 series digital storage oscilloscope

Window type characteristics applicable scenarios

Hanning has good frequency accuracy and average amplitude accuracy for periodic waveform frequency analysis

Flattop has good amplitude accuracy, and its frequency accuracy is generally good for measuring the amplitude of periodic waveforms

Rectangular without attenuation, equivalent to windowless pulse/instantaneous waveform

Operation: Math → "Operation" Select FFT → Select source → Adjust scaling (horizontal X1-X10, vertical X0.5-X10).

(2) Data recording and limit testing

Data recording:

Utility → "Data Recording" → Enable → Select Source (Channel/Mathematical Waveform);

Set the recording duration (0.5-24 hours, increments of 30 minutes/60 minutes, or unlimited);

Select storage folder → start collection, and automatically save to USB after completion.

Extreme testing:

Utility → "Extreme Testing" → Define the source and template (internal/external waveform+horizontal/vertical tolerance);

Set violation response (waveform/image storage) and stop conditions (number of waveforms/violation times/time/manual);

Start the test and display the pass/fail statistics after completion.

3. Typical application examples

(1) Capture single pulse signals (such as relay arcing)

Set the expected range for vertical/horizontal scaling, Acquire → "Peak Detection";

Trigger menu → select "Slope" to rise, set the trigger level to the midpoint of the relay switch voltage;

Press Single to trigger the collection when the relay is turned on. After optimizing the settings, collect and observe the rebound of the contacts again.

(2) Video signal trigger (NTSC standard)

Probe connected to video output, AutoSet → "Auto Settings" menu select "Field" → "All Fields";

Trigger menu → "Video" → "Standard" select NTSC, "Sync" select "Odd Field" (only watch odd fields);

Rotate the horizontal scale to display the complete field/line, and the vertical scale ensures full signal display.

Data management and peripheral connectivity

1. USB flash drive operation

Support capacity: ≤ 64GB, file storage capacity (every 1MB): 5 full storage, 16 images, 250 settings, 18 waveforms;

Save function:

Full Storage: Press Save/Recall → "Full Storage" → "Print Button" to set "Full Storage", press the Print Button to save the image+waveform+settings to the ALLnnnn folder;

Save separately: "Save Image" (BMP/JPG format, etc.), "Save Settings" (. SET), "Save Waveform" (. CSV, 2500 data points);

Transfer function: Transfer settings (. SET) or waveforms (to RefA/RefB reference memory) from USB.

2. Peripheral connection

Printer: Connect a PictBridge compatible printer, go to Utility ->"Options" ->"Printer Settings" (ink saving/layout format), press the print button to send the image, and support terminating printing.

PC connection:

Install OpenChoice software (official website download);

Connect the oscilloscope USB device port to the PC using a USB cable;

Follow the prompts to complete the driver installation and transfer data/control the oscilloscope through software.

GPIB connection: Use the TEK-USB-488 adapter, go to "Utility" → "Options" → "GPIB Settings" to set the address (default 1), connect to the GPIB system, and control it through software.
