The oscilloscopes come with PC Software that

lets you easily capture, save and analyze

waveforms and measurement results. Unlike

other DSOs in this price category, each model

includes two 150 MHz high performance passive

probes that will not limit the bandwidth of your

measurement system.

The 2534, 2540 & 2542 are ideal

oscilloscopes for use in education and training,

design and debug, service and repair.

Connect your USB flash drive to conveniently

store and recall waveform data (binary or csv),

setups and screen shots (bmp format). You can

also update the oscilloscope’s firmware from

this port.

The Auto button identifies the input signal and

automatically sets up the vertical, horizontal

and trigger controls to produce a useable

display.

You can automatically adjust the timebase to

view the waveform as single cycle or multiple

cycle.

signal in full screen (12 divisions).

55))AAddvvaanncceedd ttrriiggggeerriinngg

Isolate the signal with advanced triggering

including pulse width and selectable video

trigger. Use the alternate trigger function,

typically only found in analog oscilloscopes, for

a stable display of signals unrelated in time.

Filter out unwanted signal components, such

as various types of noise, with the built in

digital filter. Select from lowpass, highpass,

bandpass or notch filter. The limits are

adjustable over a wide range. The available

range varies with each timebase settings. (e.g.

the lowpass filter corner frequency can be set

as low as 40 Hz when selecting a

timebase of 5 ms/div).

Create a user defined mask (pass/fail limits)

and automatically compare it against the input

signal from CH1 or CH2. This feature is ideal

for manufacturing test applications that

require instant go/no go test results.

Navigate your USB flash drive directory and

files with ease. Store and retrieve waveform

data, screen shots and setups complete with

time and date stamp and user defined names.

Monitor and analyze long term signal behavior

by recording data continuously over an

extensive period of time and playing it back for

post acquisition analysis. Data is recorded in a

sequence of up to 1000 frames of 4 k data

points each and the time interval between each

frame is adjustable from 1 ms – 100 s. The

data can be saved in a single file to internal

memory or USB flash drive.

Display and measure the input signal’s

frequency spectrum. Select one of the 5 FFT

windows: Rectangular, Hanning, Hamming,

Blackman and Flattop. Use cursors to

measure the spectral component’s magnitude

and frequency.

Use the oscilloscope’s delayed sweep feature

to zoom in on a particular area of a signal in

real time while viewing the entire captured

waveform simultaneously.

The included Comsoft PC software provides

full access to the oscilloscope’s display,

measurements waveform data and front panel

controls through the rear panel USB device

port.

The software provides a seamless synchroniza-

tion between the oscilloscope and PC,

effortlessly allowing quick imports of captured

waveform data and measurement results into

Microsoft Excel for further analysis.

All oscilloscope parameters can be easily

controlled via a PC without the need for

programming. Front panel knobs can be

emulated via a virtual panel. Alternatively,

parameters can be selected from a menu.
