Data Sheet Digital Storage Oscilloscopes 2550 Series The 2550 series digital storage oscilloscopes provide high performance and value in 2-channel and 4-channel configurations. With bandwidth from 70 MHz to 300 MHz and 2 GSa/s sample rates, these oscilloscopes offer 24 kpts/Ch waveform memory, 32 automatic measurements, and advanced triggering capabilities including math functions. Engineered to allow you to see more of your signal under test, the 2550 series’ widescreen 7” TFT display offers a significantly larger viewing area than typical economy oscilloscopes (5.7”). Educators who want to teach waveform measurement fundamentals can benefit from the ability to disable the Auto set button, a function that automatically sets up the scope to display a signal. The 2550 series oscilloscopes are ideal for applications in design and debug, service and repair, and education. 2553 2555 Bandwidth 70 MHz 100 MHz Bandwidth up to 300 MHz ■ 2 GSa/s sample rate ■ 4-channel acquisition (on select models) ■ Large 7” widescreen color display ■ FFT including four additional math functions - Add, Subtract, Multiply, and Divide ■ 32 automatic measurements ■ 50 Ω input coupling (200 MHz and 300 MHz models) ■ Maximize productivity with PC connectivity via LAN and USB.

Select one of the 4 FFT windows: Rectangular, Hanning, Hamming, and Blackman. Use cursors to measure the spectral component’s magnitude and frequency. Filter out unwanted signal components such as various types of noise with built-in digital filters. Choose from Low-Pass, High-Pass, Band-Pass, and Band-Stop filters. Waveform recorder Delayed sweep/zoom 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 2500 frames. Use the oscilloscope’s delayed sweep feature to zoom in a particular area of a signal in real time while viewing the entire captured waveform simultaneously. Large internal storage Pass/Fail testing Minimize debug time by saving and recalling setups and waveforms from internal memory. Save and recall up to 20 different oscilloscope setups and 20 different waveforms. Generate user-defined pass/fail limits to quickly identify go/no go test results. www.bkprecision.com Digital Storage Oscilloscopes Models 2553, 2555, 2556, 2557, 2558, and 2559 PC connectivity High bandwidth passive oscilloscope probes PR150B The included EasyScope software provides seamless integration between the oscilloscope and PC. Capture and transfer waveforms, screen images, setups and measurement results to a Windows PC via the USB device port on the back of the instrument. A USB host port on the front and rear allows for quick and easy screen saving. PR250B & PR500B Avoid limiting the bandwidth of your measurement system. All 2550 series models come standard with high bandwidth, slimline passive probes (one per channel) to help you get the most out of your scope.
