oscilloscope

Horizontal Controls select sweep speed and delay

parameters

• Sweep speeds from 5 ns/div to 50 ns/div (54620-

series) and 1 ns/div to 50 s/div (54640-series)

• Delay control moves waveform display to point of

interest

• Delayed mode and delay allow zooming in to show

a portion of waveform in detail (split screen)

Trigger keys define what data the oscilloscope will

trigger on

• Source key allows conventional oscilloscope

triggering

• Modes include Edge, Pulse Width, Pattern, CAN,

Duration, I2C, Sequence, SPI, TV, and USB

triggering

system (54621D/22D/41D/42D)

• Sixteen channels through a dual 8-channel cable

with micro-clips

• Set logic levels as TTL, CMOS, ECL, or to a user-

definable voltage

Utilities

• Dedicated parallel printer port, controller

operation, floppy disk storage

Built in Quick Help system

• Press and hold any key front-panel key or softkey

to get help in 11 languages.
