The Tools You Need

Fast 140,000 wfms/s Waveform Capture Rate

The 140,000 wfms/s update rate in normal mode helps detect infrequent anomalies and glitches.

Record Length up to 140 Mpts

The hardware-based Zoom function used with the record lengths of 140 Mpts enables users to capture more of their signal and quickly zoom into the event of interest.

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 selectively capturing up to 80,000 segments.

Hardware Pass/Fail and Masking

The 2560 Series’ high speed hardware based pass/fail limit function can perform up to 140,000 pass/fail tests per second.

Enhanced Resolution Mode

Enhanced Resolution (Eres) mode minimizes signal noise to reveal hidden detail when the signal is difficult to trigger and averaging methods are confined.

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.

256-level intensity grading and color temperature display

Discover and visualize more details of your signal for better analysis of its behavior.
