samples stored)
5k sample/s data transfer rate over USB/GPIB bus (block mode)
Available functions and features
Automated measurements: frequency, period, ratio, time Interval,
time interval error, pulse width, rise/fall time, phase angle, duty
cycle, maximum voltage, minimum voltage, peak-to-peak voltage
Integrated power meter
With industry-leading frequency and time resolution, the MCA Series
comes standard with internal memory, a fast data transfer rate of 250k
Samples/s to memory, and an integrated power meter. The multi-parameter
display shows auxiliary measurements alongside your main measurement
to provide you with the results you need at a glance. With the industry’s
most comprehensive analysis modes, including measurement statistics,
histograms, and trend plots, you have the tools you need to quickly and
accurately analyze your signal.
