The HP 54620A/C at a Glance
Display shows the current input signals
and much more
•
Up to sixteen (16) channels in normal
or delayed mode
•
Indicators for glitch or normal
acquisition, time base, channel
activity, trigger and acquisition status
•
Softkey labels
•
Measurement results
•
Color Palettes
Channel Controls select, position, and
label inputs
•
Turn channels on or off individually
or in groups of 8
•
Rearrange order of channels to
group related signals
•
Create and display labels to identify
channels, and set channel colors
General Controls measure, save and
restore results, and configure the
analyzer
•
Measurement keys provide
automatic single or dual-channel
time and frequency measurements,
or use cursors to make manual
measurements
•
Save or recall measurement
configurations or previous results
•
Autoscale performs simple
one-button setup of the analyzer
Horizontal Controls select sweep speed
and delay parameters
•
Sweep speeds from 5 ns/div to 1 s/div
•
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)
2
Storage Keys begin and end data
acquisition
•
Run/Stop starts and stops continuous
acquisitions
•
Single performs one acquisition
•
Autostore accumulates and displays
the results of multiple acquisitions
(like persistence on an oscilloscope)
•
Erase clears the current acquisition
and all accumulated data
Trigger Keys define what data will be
captured by the analyzer
•
Edge mode allows triggering on a
positive or negative edge (or both) of
any single channel
•
Pattern mode allows triggering on a
pattern of channels either high, low,
or don't care, with a single edge
qualifier
•
Advanced mode allows sequential
triggers, combined patterns, patterns
and edges, pattern durations, and
edge occurrence counts
Softkeys extend the functionality of
command keys
Select measurement types, operating
modes, trigger specifications, label data,
and more
Trigger Input/Output
Trigger the HP 54620A/C from other
instruments or use the HP54620A/C to
trigger other instruments
Channel Inputs through a flexible
probing system
•
Sixteen channels through a dual
8-channel cable with micro-grabbers
•
Set logiclevels as TTL, CMOS, ECL, or
to a user-definable voltage
