Oscilloscope Modules Specifications and
Characteristics
16534A Characteristics
Horizontal (Time)
Time base ranges 0.5 ns/div to 5 s/div
Time base resolution 10 ps
Delay range
•pretrigger •-32 K x sample period
•posttrigger •320 ms or 1.6E7 x sample period, whichever is greater
Time interval measurement accuracy ±{(0.005% of ∆T) + (2E–6 x delay setting)
forsampling rates other than maximum, + [0.15/(sample rate)]}
for bandwidth-limited signals [signal
rise time > 1.4/(sampling rate)], on a
single card, on a single acquisition
Time interval measurement accuracy ± [(0.005% of ∆T) + (2E–6 x delay setting) + 300 ps
for 2, 3, or 4 Agilent 16533As or 16534As
operating on a single time base, for
measurements made between channels
on different cards, at maximum
sampling rate
Trigger
Trigger level range (See notes) ±1.5 x full scale from center of screen
Trigger modes
•Immediate •Triggers immediately after arming condition is met
•Edge •Triggers on rising or falling edge on channel 1 or
channel 2
•Pattern •Triggers on entering or exiting a specified pattern
across both channels
•Auto condition •Self-triggers if trigger is not satisfied within
approximately 50 ms after arming
•Events delay •The trigger can be set to occur on the nth occurrence
of an edge or pattern, n ≤32000
•Intermodule •Arms another measurement module or activates the
port out BNC connector when the trigger condition is
met
Notes:
•Specifications apply only within ±10°C of the temperature at which the most recent calibration was performed.
•Specifications apply only after operational accuracy calibration is performed in the frame in which the
oscilloscope module is installed.
•Display magnification is used below 56 mV full scale. For sensitivities from 16 mV to 56 mV full scale, full scale is
defined as 56 mV.
