Tektronix, one of the most trusted brands in the measurement industry, has been making testing, debugging and analyzing designs easier for engineers for a very long time now. Offering a myriad of digital oscilloscopes with an equally extensive collection of available product features and analysis capability, Tektronix manages to provide the buyers with just the right oscilloscope in accord with the need.
As most of you reading this space might know, a digital oscilloscope is used to analyze electrical signals. All sorts of inputs, electrical or non-electrical (that need to be converted into electrical signals) can be studied as sinusoidal voltages. Oscilloscopes are used to observe changes in these signals with respect to time. Parameters and properties such as frequency, amplitude, distortion, rise time, were calculated by analyzing the oscilloscope generated plots against calibrated scale. However, newer digital instruments are capable of calculating and displaying such properties directly.
Tektronix offers a wide series of oscilloscopes appropriate for advanced signal analysis, sampling, mixed signal and mixed domain analysis along with basic, battery powered and handheld oscilloscopes.
Calibration is one of the crucial processes required to be done before any testing or analysis. The process involves comparison of an instrument’s measurement against set standards of measurements in order to ensure precision of the desired device. Even oscilloscopes themselves need calibration. Nevertheless, an oscilloscope can be used for the process of calibration too. Tektronix also provides oscilloscope calibrators suitable for calibrating various instruments.
If you seek to calibrate a thermometer, some oscilloscope calibrator models from the brand are capable of simulating a number of thermocouple types and RTDs, thus covering the calibration requirements of most of electronic thermometers. A wide range of temperature and available options for conversion algorithms make calibrating thermometers easier than ever. Oscilloscope calibrators offer an option of temperature entry in Centigrade, degree Fahrenheit or Kelvin.
