HP 54720A/D mainframe
4, each plug-in slot has its own 2 GSa/s
ADC with 16,384 point acquisition memory for the HP 54720A and
65,536 points for the HP 54720D.

65,536 points for the HP 54710D.
Best Accuracy Calibration
Performing the Best Accuracy Cal on a
channel just prior to a series of critical measurements will ensure the
most accurate results. This calibration adjusts the channel’s gain, offset,
and linearity and requires a specific plug-in to stay installed in a specific
mainframe slot.
Channel Skew Adjustment
The time skew between channels can be
manually eliminated all the way to the probe tip to 1-ps resolution.
Probe Calibration
A probe calibration routine automatically computes
the offset and the attenuation created by the probe attached to the
channel input.
Time base
Time Base Scale
100 ps/div to 20 s/div (in 1-2-5 or fine steps)
Time Base Position Range (auto sample rate and record length)
Pretrigger
0 to
−
1 s or one full screen width, whichever is larger.
Posttrigger
0 to 1 s or one full screen width, whichever is larger.
Time Interval Measurement and Trigger Interpolator Resolution
1 ps
Time Base Window
Scale:
1 ps/div to the main time base scale factor.
Position:
The window must always stay in the time window defined
by the main sweep.
