FAQ - Portable Oscilloscopes
What is a portable oscope (oscilloscope)?
The term "portable oscope" is often used as a more casual or informal way to say 'portable oscilloscope.' A portable oscilloscope itself is a compact, lightweight version of a traditional benchtop oscilloscope, designed for easy transport and use in various locations, from the field to the lab. The Tektronix 2 Series MSO is a prime example, offering powerful measurement capabilities in a device small enough to fit in a laptop bag, often with battery power for true on-the-go operation.
What makes the Tektronix 2 Series MSO a leading portable oscilloscope?
The 2 Series MSO stands out as a leading portable oscilloscope due to its unique combination of genuine portability and robust performance. It features the same award-winning touchscreen interface found on larger Tektronix scopes for intuitive operation, offers bandwidths up to 500 MHz, up to 4 analog channels, optional 16 digital channels (MSO), an optional Arbitrary Function Generator (AFG), and a hot-swappable battery option, all in a compact form factor.
How long does the battery last on the 2 Series MSO, and is it truly designed for field use?
Yes, the 2 Series MSO is built for demanding field use. With the optional dual-slot battery pack, this portable oscilloscope can operate for up to 8 hours. The batteries are also hot-swappable, meaning you can change one out while the other one continues to power the scope ensuring continuous operation wherever your measurements take you. Its rugged design further enhances its suitability for fieldwork.
Beyond viewing waveforms, what advanced tasks can I do with the 2 Series MSO portable oscilloscope?
This portable oscilloscope is much more than just a waveform viewer. Depending on the options, you can perform comprehensive debugging with its 16 integrated MSO channels for digital circuits, analyze frequency response with the built-in Bode plot feature, generate signals using the 50 MHz AFG or 4-bit pattern generator, and perform in-depth analysis with tools like FFT, advanced math, and unlimited automated measurements.
Where can I find the 2 Series MSO portable oscilloscope for sale?
You can find the Tektronix 2 Series MSO portable oscilloscope for sale directly through Tektronix or via our authorized distributors.
