The requirement for stringent timing measurements has resulted from advances in IC design, device characterization of custom integrated circuits (e.g., bipolar and MO5 processes), ECL circuits, and faster clock speeds in computers and other electronic systems. For example, characterizing a’process, verifying
system operation, or troubleshooting a new design all require highly accurate and repeatable measurements. The feature set of the 1726A provides advanced performance with simple setup and the front panel conveniences expected from

FAST, CONFIDENT
MEASUREMENTS
Combining a CRT with a marker system makes the measured interval easy to identify. Matched wideband
PRECISE MEASUREMENTS
Time interval averaging, which is automatically controlled through
the Main Time/Div switch, allows the 1726A to make precise measurements on virtually any repetitive signal that can be displayed on an oscilloscope. A
system available
REPEATABILITY AND
CONVENIENCE
Complex time interval measurements are highly repeatable and easy to make with the 1726A’s triggered mode of operation. The triggered mode minimizes setup time, simplifies measurement procedures, and it allows highly repeatable measurements to be obtained
independent of the operator’s skill level. The fast mode, which reduces the,number of averages taken by a factor of ten, minimizes measurement time in all operating modes. In production and
TWO INSTRUMENTS IN ONE
The feature set of the 1726A Time Interval Oscilloscope provides the performance of two complete instruments. Not only is the 1726A the most advanced time interval measurement solution, but with its time interval module turned off, the
1726A offers all the capabilities of f,- a general purpose, 275 MHz oscilloscope.
