Features: 500 MHz, 4 Channels 2 GS/s per channel, with 500 MHz single-shot bandwidth 32K record length per channel 1 ns glitch trigger and peak detect Advanced logic triggering, TV triggering, 23 automatic measurements, FFT Waveform masks for pass/fail testing 3.5" floppy drive HP-IB The Agilent 54542A 500 MHz realtime oscilloscopes have the extra performance and features that you need to get an accurate view of the high frequency signals you encounter, whether you do analog or digital design, R&D or manufacturing test. With 32 K memory per channel, 4 channels, sample rate up to 2 GSa/s, 1 ns peak detect, and sophisticated triggering, you can be confident that you won't miss critical signal activity. These feature-rich digitizing scopes also include standard FFT, floppy disk drive, and sequential single shot acquisition for better analysis and characterization of your signals. These powerful oscilloscopes speed hardware design and debugging with performance to match your needs. HPÕs advanced logic triggering is a standard feature. Use it to trigger on a wide variety of user-specified conditions. Trigger on edge, pattern, state, or trigger after delay to capture such elusive events as timing violations or transient bus phenomena. Use glitch triggering to isolate and trigger on a glitch as narrow as 1 ns. To pinpoint infrequent events and determine their cause, use advanced logic triggering in conjunction with up to four channels to quickly isolate anomalies. Triggering on an anomaly will allow you to probe other points within the system during the failure condition to understand the cause of the problem quickly. Feature Rich The 54542A scopes have all of the features that you would expect in a scope plus more. Use sequential single-shot when you need to capture successive single-shot events without capturing the dead time in between. It is a great tool for applications such as pulsed-laser research, high-energy physics, and pulse echo. Use glitch trigger to find the causes of anomalies in circuit operation. Trigger on hard-to-see narrow glitches down to 1 ns wide. Use FFTs to get a second perspective of your test waveform. This feature is good for identifying signals, determining signal fidelity, or to analyze high-speed transients in the frequency domain. Generate and store your own template masks, then compare test waveforms to the stored template for pass-fail testing. Or set your own limits on any of the 23 automatic waveform parameter tests. Incoming waveforms are measured with up to three tests at a time and passed or failed according to your limits. Waveforms can be saved and timestamped upon failure of either waveform compare or limit test. Up to 665 failures of 500 points each can be stored in multiple memory and sent to a printer, plotter, or a computer via HP-IB. Use peak detect to improve your confidence when using the scope at lower sweep speeds. Scopes without peak detect can miss narrow events at slow sweep speeds. Peak detect allows you to see any event as narrow as 1 ns wide. The Agilent 54542A has an internal 3-1/2-inch, 1.44 MB, MS-DOS compatible disk drive which can be used to download software upgrades to the instrument's flash ROMs. The disk can also store waveforms, instrument setups, and screen images in standard formats such as TIFF and PCX. Other features included are: advanced logic triggering, pushbutton automatic setup, hardcopy output, full HP-IB programmability, pre-trigger viewing, TV triggering, voltage and time markers, pan and zoom, user-controlled sample rate independent of sweep speed, user-controlled record length, fast update rate, fast overdrive recovery, and more. This auction is for an item with known, or unknown issues and is sold "As Is" "No Returns". We have done our best to list this items specifications and condition accurately. But always defer to the listing photos. Concerning product details and specifications please refer to the manufactures website, or other online sources for more information such as data sheets, manuals, firmware updates, software, or reviews. And with unit specific questions on condition, options, and software/firmware revisions if not clear in the listing photos and description feel free to contact me. * * * CALL: +1.303.554.0307 WITH ANY QUESTIONS * * *SEE OUR EXCELLENT eBay FEEDBACK & BUY WITH CONFIDENCE We feel the listing price is already very good considering the item and condition, but if this item has been listed for a few week we are always willing to entertain a reasonable offer. The last few listing photos are of our lab, sorry not included in the auction. Our Company and Philosophy: We Want your purchase to exceed your expectations. The first question is whether this is the right piece of equipment to meet your needs, Feel free to ask for our expertise, we have no problem steering you to another eBay seller, dealer, or manufacturer who has exactly what you are looking. The second question is condition. In this case "As Is" "No Returns". We have done our best to describe the issues, but please ask questions before you bid. We view others with a passion for Test and Measurement as part of a very special community whether a hobbyist or Noble Price level Physicist and will do our very best to treat any buyer the way we would like to be treated ourselves. All we ask is you treat us fairly and we will always go the extra mile even beyond eBays requirements and our stated warranty to take care of any legitimate issue - whether a performance issue or simply not the instrument that best serves your needs. Again we encourage you to contact us before you bid with any question on the capabilities, condition, and perhaps most importantly if it is the right product to meet your specific needs.
