B&K Precision 2542B-GEN - Datasheet - Manual

The 2540B, 2542B, 2540B-GEN, and
2542B-GEN dual channel 60 MHz and 100
MHz digital storage oscilloscopes deliver
performance and value, all in one portable
solution. Maximize productivity using extensive
features such as digital filtering, waveform
recorder, pass/fail limit testing, and automatic
measurements. These oscilloscopes offer
powerful tools in a small affordable package with
deep waveform memory up to 2.4 Mpts plus
LAN and USB PC interface. The 2540B-GEN
and 2542B-GEN models add a built-in
function/arbitrary waveform generator (AWG).
Easily capture, save, and analyze measurement
results with Comsoft PC software. All scope
parameters can be controlled via a PC without
the need for programming or communicate with
the DSO via the built-in LAN interface using a
web browser.

Additionally, these oscilloscopes can be integrated
with AWGs using B&K Precision's waveform
editing software, WaveXpress. WaveXpress allows
users to easily modify waveforms downloaded
from the scope and can also be used for analysis
of deep memory acquisitions.
Educators will appreciate the ability to disable the
Auto Set button that would automatically setup
the scope to display a signal, circumventing the
need to know how to set up scope parameters.
This is key for teaching waveform measurement
fundamentals as if it was an analog oscilloscope.
These oscilloscopes are ideal for applications in
design and debugging, service and repair, and
education.
