54501A – HP Agilent

Description

Item #: 54501A

Manufacturer: HP Agilent
Series: 54500

54501A by HP Agilent is a Digitizing Oscilloscope in the 54500 series. 54501A features a Bandwidth of 100 MHz and a Sample rate of 10 Msa/s.

The HP Agilent 54501A Digitizing Oscilloscope is an affordable instrument with high performance for the price. Features usually only found on more costly oscilloscopes are standard on this model. Pushbutton hard copy, automatic measurements, autoscale, complete HP-IB programmability, and nonvolatile setup and waveform memories are only a few of the beneficial features on the 54501A Oscilloscope. This model will allow the user to speed up hardware design and debugging processes.

Advanced logic triggering is available on the 54501A Digitizing Oscilloscope. With this function, the user can trigger on numerous types of settings that they choose. The user can trigger on state, pattern, edge, or trigger after delay to catch difficult to spot events, such as timing violations or transient bus phenomena. To single out intermittent events and decide what caused them, advanced logic triggering can be used, along with as many as four channels to swiftly segregate irregularities. Triggering on an irregularity will permit the user to probe other points in the system throughout the failure condition to comprehend the cause of the issue swiftly.

Characterization speeds will also be improved by using the automatic measurement capabilities on the 54501A Oscilloscope. There are 17 automatic measurements for the user to choose from. Measurement data can be utilized to show the maximum, minimum, and mean value for every measurement on an ongoing basis. An automask generator and waveform compare mode can be used for characterization as well. The user can place a reference waveform on the display, then have the scope create a pass/fail mask around it, with a test tolerance specified by the user.
