SummarySummary•Hardware version of the “timing window” on LogicWorks

•Capture, store, and display up to 16 time-varying signals simultaneously

• Variety of ways to start/stop capture

•Make time and frequency measurementse.g., circuit delay measurements, setup and hold times

•Detect glitches

•More info on web http://www.tmo.hp.com/tmo/datasheets/English/HP54620A.html

•Manuals available in lab cabinet
