TekScope^® Feature Highlights

Don't be fooled by TekScope's size. It includes the advanced features you'd expect in a Tektronix oscilloscope. Follow the links below to learn about a few of the ways TekScope will make your measurement tasks quick and easy:

Standard Features

These features are found on all TekScope models: THS-710A, THS-720A, THS-720P, and THS-730A

Point & Zoom

Adding some delay between a trigger event and the start of an acquisition allows you to zoom in on part of a signal that occurs well after the trigger event. Until now, setting up such a delay required manually calculating and setting the appropriate delay time--a tedious and time-consuming process. With "Point & Zoom", TekScope does the work for you.

Pulse Width Triggering

Frequently, the old standby "edge" trigger just doesn't provide stable triggering on today's complex control and data signals. TekScope's "pulse" trigger type provides the ability to generate trigger events based on the width of a pulse, rather than just the rising or falling edge.

Video Triggering

Video signals are notoriously difficult to trigger on. TekScope simplifies the process with its special "Video" trigger type.

External Trigger

Sometimes, you need to look at two channels, but can't get a good trigger on either one. "External Trigger" lets you use a third signal as the trigger source.

Phase Cursor Measurements

When working with repetitive signals, it is sometimes more convenient to think in terms of phase angles (with 360° representing one cycle) rather than time. TekScope's vertical bar cursors can easily handle either.

dB and dBm Measurements

For some applications, it is more convenient to measure voltages in dB relative to a reference voltage, or in dBm into a known load. The TekScope DMM can display measurements in volts, dB, or dBm.

THS-720P Exclusives

These features are found only on the THS-720P

Motor Trigger

Even pulse-width triggering can't provide a reliable trigger for many motor control signals. The TekScope THS-720P provides a special "motor" trigger type just for these systems.

Harmonics & Power Measurement

Power line quality--both incoming and outgoing--are of increasing concern, especially in industrial settings. The TekScope THS-720P provides a new operating mode dedicated to providing information about the harmonic content and quality of line power.
