B&K Precision announced
models 2540B-GEN and 2542B-GEN–the latest
additions to its 2540B series of digital storage oscilloscopes. The integration
of function/arbitrary waveform generation capability into these 60 MHz and 100
MHz, 1 GSa/s DSOs provides engineers with a low-cost, space-saving solution,
and a 2-in-1 high performance test instrument for signal analysis and stimulus
response testing.
With the integrated 20 MHz AWG in the
2540B-GEN and 40 MHz AWG in the 2542B-GEN, users can generate sine, square, and
arbitrary waveforms from the oscilloscope's generator output terminal. The
unique combination of a DSO and AWG allows users to easily capture and store
signals directly from the oscilloscope's channels to the generator's internal
memory. User-defined arbitrary waveforms can also be edited through Comsoft PC
software and then uploaded to the instrument. Other features of the built-in
AWG include frequency sweep, burst mode, and a wide variety of modulation
schemes such as AM, FM, FSK, PSK, and PWM.
The 2540B-GEN and 2542B-GEN retain the significant
highlights of the 2540B and 2542B DSOs, whose features include an impressive
deep memory up to 2.4 Mpts and built-in LAN interface. Both models also
maintain the lightweight and portable form factor of their non-hybrid
counterparts, and continue to include valuable tools such as pulse width, video
and slope triggering, digital filtering, waveform recorder, pass/fail testing,
FFT, and math functions.
Now accessible through the LAN
interface is complete front panel emulation of the oscilloscope and built-in
AWG allowing the DSOs to be fully web-enabled. Screenshots can also be captured
from a web browser at a user-configurable refresh rate.
For educators, a graphical AWG help
feature supplements the existing context-sensitive help feature, to explain
parameters of built-in arbitrary waveforms and modulation schemes to students.
The Auto Set button can still be disabled for training.
Available immediately, B&K Precision's 2540B-GEN (60 MHz DSO with 20 MHz AWG) and 2542B-GEN (100 MHz DSO with 40 MHz AWG) are listed at $1,195 and $1,395, respectively.
For a limited time, customers who
purchase a new 2540B-GEN or 2542B-GEN DSO can receive a free deluxe adapter kit
per oscilloscope after registering each unit no later than July 15, 2012.
