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.
