The only battery in these scopes is a small coin cell battery that is soldered in. These do not need to be removed. See battery information: BATTERY, DRY; 3.0V, LITHIUM MANGANESE DIOXIDE, 225MAH, 20MM DIA X 3.2MM THICK COIN CELL WITH SOLDER TABS, 20.5MM PCB SPACING;CR2032/HF1N

We'd be happy to help you select an oscilloscope, and help determining that it can accurately measure your signal of interest. The best reference for this would be the oscilloscope documents that I have linked below.

However, a simple way to go quickly go about your request is to use your signals frequency or rise time and the ‘five times rule’. This rule states that the oscilloscope bandwidth and rise time specifications should be five times greater than that of your signal. This will help ensure better than 2% amplitude accuracy for your measurements.

Bandwidth and rise time are related via this equation: BW/[K/Rise time], where k is a value between 0.35 and 0.45. Oscilloscopes with bandwidth of <1 GHz typically have a 0.35 value, while oscilloscopes with a bandwidth of > 1 GHz usually have a value between 0.40 and 0.45.

In the example from your request, you state that you need a “a scope that has an uncertainty ± 0.125 µs or less”. I interpret this ‘± 0.125 µs’ value as a period specification. I would convert this value to frequency (Hz), P =1/f, 0.125us = 1/(f), f = 8MHz. This means that you need a scope with at least 8MHz bandwidth. Tektronix scope start at 50MHz, so any of our scopes should be capable of take this type of measurement.

From the general information I have reviewed, my current scope recommendation would be the 3 Series MDO or TBS1000C. The product pages for these scopes can be found below. Please feel free to review these and ask any questions you have.

You are correct, the only isolated input scope we have now is the TPS2012B which is a two channel scope. There can be options to use high voltage differential probes on a non-isolated scope, which give you two isolated 4mm banana jack leads to work with. We have options going up to 200MHz BW with the probes.

The part numbers for our P7313 tip-clip assemblies are listed in the user manual: https://www.tek.com/en/p7380-manual/p7313-p7380-p7360-user-manual. Once you have selected the correct assembly, let us know and we will be able to give you the most up-to-date part number. You can purchase the part by calling 1-800-833-9200 option 2 or by emailing buy@tektronix.com and telling them the part number that was provided.

I believe you are looking for the insulator sleeve, part number 204-1226-01. This can be seen in the user manual under Replacing the Probe Tip: https://www.tek.com/en/passive-probe-manual/p6139b-p5050b. Take a look at the image in the user manual and let me know if this is not the correct part.

The 4, 5, and 6 Series scopes all feature built in measurements to perform bode plots. The measurement is labeled as frequency response analysis.

We recommend the MDO3 Series as a replacement to the TDS3000 Series.
If you have a list of specifications you need in for the new scope we would be happy to make a recommendation for the best scope for you.

You will need to purchase the SEQ license, which enables the Sequence, Triggered, and Gated modes in Advanced Mode. The license name for the AFG31051 is AUP-AFG3SEQ-1.

Recommending solution with 2290-xx power supply and 26xxB smu, PM's, adapters, cables. See notes.

I recommended Delta Mode System 6220 + 2182A
