Used HEWLETT-PACKARD 3478A #9126252 for sale

The Hewlett Packard HEWLETT-PACKARD 3478A is an electronic test equipment used for performing tests on digital architectures and other related equipment. It is a laboratory-grade piece of test equipment which does digital-state tests, such as logic, timing, waveform analysis, and signal integrity testing. HEWLETT-PACKARD 3478 A can quickly measure and analyze the characteristics of digital signals, such as voltage swing, frequency, rise/fall times, transition time, signal amplitude, and other specifications, and can store those values in nonvolatile memory. 3478A functions similarly to an oscilloscope, but instead of showing an image of the signal it displays signal parameters such as frequency, amplitude, rise/fall time, period, peak-to-peak voltage, duty cycle, and time domain measurements. It can display several functions at once, such as a histogram of pulse widths from a set of data points. This allows it to be used as a signal integrity audit tool, where the user can view detailed information about the signal such as rise/fall times in a single graph. It also has a range of triggering options, such as pulse width, duration, and amplitude, allowing for precise control of the measuring process. It has a variety of manual and automatic measurement functions. Its manual measurement capabilities include single sweep measurements of peak-to-peak, average, minimum, and maximum voltage, rise/fall times, pulse width, duty cycle, and more. It also includes multiple-sweep measurements, such as running time tests, frequency counter tests, and staircase tests. These options all allow the user to gain important, accurate insights into how the signal is behaving. 3478 A also has the capability to record data to nonvolatile memory, allowing data to be stored for later use. This is a useful feature for those in search of precise, repeatable results for future tests. Additionally, HEWLETT-PACKARD 3478A includes storage for up to 12 predefined automated measurements for quick recall and use. Finally, it can generate external module signals for testing digital designs and systems. This allows users to detect issues in the design of integrated circuits, boards, and systems by stimulating it with a variety of signals. In summary, the Hewlett Packard HEWLETT-PACKARD 3478 A is an electronic test equipment used to measure and diagnose the characteristics of digital signals. It has a variety of manual and automatic measurement functions, storage capability for later recall, as well as external signal generation. This makes it the perfect solution for testing design of integrated circuits, boards, and systems.
