# Tektronix TPS2012 100 MHz 2-Channel Isolated Digital Storage Oscilloscope (Pre-Owned) # Tektronix TPS2012 100 MHz 2-Channel Isolated Digital Storage Oscilloscope (Pre-Owned) ## Key Features At A Glance - Bandwidths from 100 MHz to 200 MHz with real-time sample rates up to 2 GS/s across the series - 2 or 4 fully isolated, floating channels plus an isolated external trigger using IsolatedChannel technology - Floating measurements to 30 VRMS with the standard P2220 probe; to 600 VRMS CAT II with the optional P5120 - Up to 8 hours of continuous operation on two hot-swappable battery packs for AC-free field use - FFT standard on all models, plus 11 automatic waveform measurements - RS-232 and Centronics parallel ports standard for PC connectivity and direct printing - Integrated CompactFlash mass storage and OpenChoice PC software for capture and documentation - Optional TPS2PWR1 software adds switching loss, harmonics, and dv/dt and di/dt power analysis The Tektronix TPS2000 Series is a family of digital storage oscilloscopes consisting of the TPS2012, TPS2014, and TPS2024. An oscilloscope captures voltage waveforms over time so an engineer can see a signal's amplitude, frequency, timing, and shape. What sets the TPS2000 Series apart is Tektronix IsolatedChannel technology: every input channel, plus the external trigger input, is fully isolated and floating. Tektronix describes it as the world's first 4-isolated-channel, full-featured, battery-powered oscilloscope, designed to make floating and differential measurements quickly, accurately, and affordably. The series is intended for industrial power design, troubleshooting, installation, and maintenance; advanced electronics design, troubleshooting, installation, and maintenance; automotive design and test; and education. Its isolated channels let you make floating and differential measurements and speed verification of power supply performance, complex control circuits, and the effects of neutral current. With the TPS2PBND power bundle and TPS2PWR1 software, a single instrument performs three-phase power measurements of variable frequency drives, switching loss analysis, harmonic distortion measurements to the 50th harmonic, and dv/dt and di/dt cursor measurements. ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every pre-owned unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house against the original manufacturer's specifications before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received. That combination of held inventory and in-house verification lets ValueTronics match the right instrument and condition to your application. ## Compare Other Models in This Series The TPS2000 Series comprises three digital storage oscilloscopes — the TPS2012, TPS2014, and TPS2024 — that share IsolatedChannel technology, hot-swappable battery operation, standard FFT, and 11 automatic measurements. All three make fully isolated, floating, and differential measurements with the same float-voltage ratings and the same documentation and connectivity feature set. Within that common architecture, the models differ in channel count, bandwidth, and sample rate, so each is offered as its own configuration. The comparison table below lays out those differences side by side. Each pre-owned model below links to its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Select the model that fits your channel-count and bandwidth requirement, then choose the pre-owned listing that matches your budget and availability needs. The TPS2012 provides 2 isolated channels with 100 MHz bandwidth and a 1.0 GS/s per-channel sample rate. The TPS2014 keeps the 100 MHz bandwidth and 1.0 GS/s sample rate but adds two more channels for 4 isolated channels. The TPS2024 offers 4 isolated channels at 200 MHz bandwidth with a 2.0 GS/s per-channel sample rate. Time base range tracks bandwidth as well: the TPS2012 and TPS2014 span 5 ns to 50 s/div, while the TPS2024 extends to 2.5 ns to 50 s/div. All three share the 2.5 K-point record length, 8-bit vertical resolution, and 2 mV to 5 V/div sensitivity. The comparison table summarizes these per-model differences.
