The 2540C Digital Storage and Mixed Signal

Oscilloscope (MSO) Series delivers advanced

features and debug capabilities for a wide range

of applications at an entry-level price point. With

up to 200 MHz bandwidth in a 2-channel con-

ﬁguration, each model offers a maximum sample

rate of 1 GSa/s, and a maximum memory depth of

14 Mpts. In addition, these oscilloscopes provide

an 8” color display with 256 levels of color

grading combined with a high waveform update

rate up to 60,000 wfms/sec, which allows the

instruments to capture infrequent glitches with

excellent signal ﬁdelity. The logic analyzer and

decode software provides 16 additional digital

channels and serial bus decoding for I

C, SPI,

UART/RS232, CAN, and LIN protocols.

Maximize productivity using extensive features

such as digital ﬁltering, waveform recording,

pass/fail limit testing, and automatic

measurements. The built-in 25 MHz function/

arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) comes

standard with all models and provides stimulus

output of 4 arbitrary waveforms, sine, square,

ramp, pulse, DC, noise, cardiac, Gaussian pulse,

and exponential rise/fall waveforms to the device

under test.

The 2540C Series oscilloscopes are ideal for

applications in design, education, service, and

repair. This instrument offers a comprehensive set

of tools to capture signal anomalies, decode

serial bus protocols, and help speed up debug

and analysis. The MSO and decoding

functionalities are available for upgrade in the

ﬁeld with the purchase of a license key.
