Digital Storage Oscilloscopes
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 exten-
sive 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 include a built-in
function/arbitrary waveform generator (AWG).

Deep Memory - 2.4 Mpts
LAN interface for easy screen capturing at a
user-configurable refresh rate with a web browser.
A GUI simulating the front panel provides full DSO
control.
Beneficial for applications such as I2C serial data
streams, deep memory lets you capture waveforms in
high resolution while maintaining a high sample rate
over a longer period of time.
