The TBS2000 Series is a family of digital storage oscilloscopes built around a 9-inch WVGA display, a 20 million point record length, and a 1 GS/s sample rate, capturing and displaying more signal to help engineers evaluate designs faster. On-waveform cursor readouts and 32 automated measurements—each accompanied by informative on-screen tips—make it straightforward to analyze signals and choose the right measurement. The TekVPI probe interface works with traditional BNC connections while also enabling the latest active voltage and current probes for wide application coverage.

An oscilloscope displays electrical signals as waveforms—voltage plotted against time—making it one of the most universal diagnostic instruments on an electronics bench. The TBS2000 Series trigger system is designed for troubleshooting mixed-signal designs, and the long record length helps find signal anomalies and verify digital communications. The series also targets education: the Courseware function lets professors load lab exercises onto the instrument to guide students at each station, and the oscilloscope integrates with the TekSmartLab lab management system so instructors can preset a lab full of instruments and track every student's progress from a central workstation.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois, giving customers a single dependable source for both new and used test and measurement equipment. Every used unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer.

## Brand Heritage

Tektronix, founded in 1946, has operated continuously under its own name. It was acquired by Danaher Corporation in 2007 and became part of Fortive Corporation when Fortive was spun off from Danaher in 2016.

## Compare Other Models in This Series

The TBS2000 Series comprises four digital storage oscilloscope models that share the same core architecture—a 1 GS/s sample rate, a 20 M point record length on all channels, and a 9-inch WVGA display—while differing in two dimensions: analog bandwidth and channel count. The series is offered in 70 MHz and 100 MHz bandwidth models and in 2- and 4-channel configurations.

Because the acquisition system, display, triggering, measurement set, and TekVPI probe interface are common to every model, the choice between members of the family comes down to the bandwidth and channel count an application requires rather than differences in feature set.

Each model in the family below is its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Select the model that fits your bandwidth and channel requirements, then choose the pre-owned listing that matches your budget and condition preference.

The four models divide along bandwidth and channel count: the 70 MHz and 100 MHz options set the analog bandwidth, while the 2-channel and 4-channel options set how many signals can be observed at once. All four retain the 1 GS/s sample rate and 20 M point record length, so those specifications do not differentiate the models.

Physical size tracks channel count as well: the 2-channel models share one chassis footprint and weight (2.62 kg standalone) while the 4-channel models are larger and heavier (4.17 kg standalone). The comparison table below lays out bandwidth, channel count, and dimensions for each model so the right configuration is easy to identify.
