EEVblog | EEVblog 1477 - TEARDOWN! - NEW Tektronix 2 Series Oscilloscope @EEVblog | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Detailed teardown of the new generation Tektronix 2 Series MSO bench/portable battery powered oscilloscope!
An innovative new design form factor you're either going to love or hate!
This is the upgrade to the 15yo MSO/DPO 2000B series to give a low end on the next generation 2/3/4/5/6 series. It uses the new Lexington scope architecture that is different to the 3 and above series.
