HP 16533A

250MHz Digital Oscilloscope Card

Features

• Use as a Standalone Scope with Many Channels
  
  • Capture up to 32K on each of eight analog channels simultaneously (single time base).
  • Measure slow and fast events with additional oscilloscope modules to create a multiple time base digitizing oscilloscope.
  • For large channel count measurements, configure as many as 20 scope channels in a single system.
• Combine Scope with Other Logic Analysis Modules
  You can arm or trigger the oscilloscope from any module in the logic analysis system (HP 16500B) to capture and display the analog events that affect your digital system.
• Autoscale, Auto-Measure, Voltage and Time Markers and Colors Save You Time
  
  • Select autoscale and the scope adjusts the time, voltage and trigger levels instantly for a stable display of your waveforms.
  • Use automatic measurements to analyze a signal's behavior easily.
  • Independent voltage and time markers can be used to measure voltage and timing relationships.
  • Automatic marker placement and statistics allow you to characterize a circuit quickly
  • Waveforms are independently colored for fast and easy identification
• Flexible Display Modes Help You Find Signal Problems
  
  • Capture random signal variations or metastable states with the accumulate mode
  • Filter out noise with the average mode
  • Show true single-shot events with the single mode
  • Scan the waveform easily with the connect-the-dots feature
  • Analyze differential waveforms with the A-B mode.
