20 MHz Analog/Digital Storage Oscilloscope - Specifications

Digital Mode Specifications model 2522B
   
Storage Word Size 2048x8 bits/channel; (2k/channel with direct sampling, 1 k/channel with equivalent time sampling).
Vertical Resolution 1 in 256, approximately 25 steps/div.
Horizontal Resolution 1 in 2048, approximately 200 samples/div.
Sampling Rate 10M samples/sec to 4 samples/sec, reduced in proportion to time base. Direct sampling at time base settings of 20us/div and slower, equivalent time sampling at time base settings of 10us/div and faster.
Time Base Expander For storage of slow time events, time base steps 10ms/div and slower have selectable 1/1 or 1/100 rate. 1/100 rate expands time base from 1 sec/div to 50 sec/div in 1-2-5 sequence.
Equivalent time Sampling Bandwidth 20 MHz for repetitive waveforms.
Dot Joining Linear interpolation between samples.
DIGITAL DISPLAY MODES
