B&K Precision Oscilloscopes 2544C

The 2544C is a 200 MHz, 2 Channel digital oscilloscope from BK Precision. Digital oscilloscopes make use of binary numbers that correspond to samples of the electronic equipment’s voltage. This is in contrast to analog oscilloscopes, which use continually varying voltages. Digital oscilloscopes use an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to convert the voltages it measures into digital information Additional Features: 1 GSa/s sample rate 14 Mpts maximum record length 16 digital channels with logic analyzer (MSO upgrade) Serial bus decoding supporting I²C, SPI, UART/RS232, CAN, and LIN protocols (Decode upgrade) Built-in Function and Arbitrary Waveform Generator comes standard on all models Large 8” widescreen display with 256-level color gradient 60,000 wfms/s maximum waveform capture rate Compact footprint and lightweight High speed hardware-based pass/fail testing function and masking Segmented acquisition history waveform record function (record length up to 80,000 frames) Trigger types: Edge, Slope, Pulse, Video, Window, Runt, Interval, Dropout, Pattern, Serial FFT including seven other math functions: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Integration, Differential, and Square Root 36 automatic measurements supporting statistics, gating, math, history and reference measurements Multi-language user interface and built-in context sensitive help Software provided for remote PC control Front panel USB port for saving and recalling waveforms, setups, and screenshots Standard LAN and USBTMC-compliant USB device port Selectable 50ω and 1 Mω input coupling Included Accessories: Passive probes (one per channel), power cord, certificate of calibration, USB (Type A to B) communication cable Optional Accessories: 16-channel digital logic probe (LP2540C) Three-Year Warranty Performance Characteristics Bandwidth: 200 MHz Rise Time: <5 ns / <3.5 ns / <1.8 ns Sample Rate: 1 GSa/s (single channel), 500 MSa/s (dual channel) Input Channels Analog: 2 Digital: 16 (-MSO models or with LA2540C upgrade) Memory Depth: 14 Mpts (single channel), 7 Mpts (dual channel) Waveform Update Rate: 60,000 wfms/s Hardware Bandwidth Limits: 20 MHz Input Coupling: DC, AC, GND Input Impedance: 1 M ω ± 2% || (22 pF ±3 pF);

In addition, these oscilloscopes provide an 8” color display with 256 levels of color grading combined with a high waveform update rate up to 60,000 wfrms/sec, which allows the instruments to capture infrequent glitches with excellent signal fidelity. The logic analyzer and decode software provides 16 additional digital channels and serial bus decoding for I²C, SPI, UART/RS232, CAN, and LIN protocols. Maximize productivity using extensive features such as digital filtering, waveform recording, pass/fail limit testing, and automatic measurements. The built-in 25 MHz function/arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) comes standard with all models and provides stimulus output of 4 arbitrary waveforms, sine, square, ramp, pulse, DC, noise, cardiac, Gaussian pulse, and exponential rise/fall waveforms to the device under test. The 2540C Series oscilloscopes are ideal for applications in design, education, service, and repair. This instrument offers a comprehensive set of tools to capture signal anomalies, decode serial bus protocols, and help speed up debug and analysis. The MSO and decoding functionalities are available for upgrade in the field with the purchase of a license key. All traditional digital oscilloscope features come standard in the 2540C Series: Cursors, 50 ω input coupling, reference signals, persist, rolling, noise rejection and deskew. Waveform History and Recording Quickly scroll through millions of points with History Mode’s playback functionality to find difficult to capture events. Eliminate unnecessary idle signals and dead-time by selectivity capturing up to 80,000 segments. Function and Arbitrary Waveform Generator A powerful 25 MHz function/arbitrary waveform generator comes standard in the 2540C Series. Use complimentary software to generate waveforms and load up to 4 arbitrary waveforms into the instrument. Built-in functions are sine, square, ramp, pulse, DC, noise, cardiac, Gaussian pulse, and exponential rise/fall. Automatic Waveform Math and Measurement Display 36 automated measurements that include voltage, time, and statistics. Arithmetic and FFT functions can be performed on analog channels and two reference signals. Color Grading With 256 levels of color grading, the most common occurrences are represented in red and the least common are represented in purple. Easily spot outliers as they will persist for a user specified time. Hardware Pass/Fail and Masking Perform up to 60,000 pass/fail decisions a second. Easy to generate masking templates help capture anomalies even with complicated waveforms. PC connectivity PC software is provided (free download at www.bkprecision.com) for seamless integration between the oscilloscope and PC. Capture and transfer waveforms, screen images, setups and measurement results to a Windows PC via the USB device port on the back of the instrument. A USB host port on the front allows for quick and easy screen saving. MSO license - LA2540C The 16 integrated digital channels are displayed along-side analog channels allowing users to view up to 18 time-correlated channels with shared triggering and acquisition on one screen. The LA2540C license enables the 16 digital channels of the 2540C Series and is included with MSO models. 16 channel logic probe - LP2540C The 16-channel color-coded logic probe consists of two eight-channel pods.
