Overview

The 2540B, 2542B, 2540B-GEN, and 2542B-GEN dual channel 60 MHz and 100 MHz digital storage oscilloscopes (DSO) 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 arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). These digital oscilloscopes are ideal for applications in design and debugging, service and repair, and education.

  • 60 MHz (2540B/2540B-GEN) and 100 MHz (2542B/2542B-GEN)  bandwidth, 1GSa/s sample rate
  • Deep waveform memory up to 2.4 Mpts
  • 28 automatic measurements
  • FFT plus three additional math functions
  • Built-in context sensitive help system
  • For educators - ability to disable the Auto set button
  • PC software that lets you remotely control the oscilloscope and capture, save, and analyze waveform data
  • Front panel USB port for convenient storing and recalling of waveform data, setups, and screenshots on a USB flash drive
  • LAN interface enables users to capture screenshots from any standard web browser
  • Seamlessly load waveforms from the oscilloscope to WaveXpress waveform editing software and send them to arbitrary waveform generators

Arbitrary Waveform Generator Features (2540B-GEN and 2542B-GEN only)

  • 1 uHz to 20 MHz sine output (2540B-GEN), 1 uHz to 40 MHz sine output (2542B-GEN)
  • 1 uHz to 20 MHz square output,1 mHz to 10 MHz pulse output 
  • 30 built-in arbitrary waveforms
  • Save up to 10 user-defined arbitrary waveforms to internal storage
  • AM, FM, FSK, PSK, and PWM modulation
  • Frequency sweep and burst mode
