Frequently Asked Questions
What is the measurement bandwidth for different channel configurations?
The Real Time Bandwidth varies: 250 MHz for 2 channels, 500 MHz for 1 channel, and 125 MHz for 3 or 4 channels.
How can I improve frequency resolution when using FFT?
Frequency Resolution is determined by (minimum sample rate)/(required points), ranging from 997 kHz (3-4 ch) to 3.9 MHz (1 ch).
Can this oscilloscope support advanced testing standards?
Yes, with Option 001, it can perform telecom mask measurements for ANSI, CCITT, and ISDN standards.
What connectivity options are available for data storage and updates?
It supports HP-IB, RS232 (Serial), Centronics (Parallel), and has a DOS-compatible disk drive to store setups and software upgrades.
