Tektronix Timer/Counter/Analysers FCA3000 and FCA3100 Series

<P>A range of <STRONG>Textronix Timer</STRONG>/<STRONG>Counter</STRONG>/<STRONG>Analysers</STRONG> from the <STRONG>FCA3000</STRONG> and<STRONG> FCA3100 Series</STRONG>. The <STRONG>FCA3000</STRONG> and <STRONG>FCA3100</STRONG> pack many different functions into one feature-rich instrument. With industry-leading frequency and time resolution, the FCA Series comes standard with deep internal memory and a fast data transfer rate of 250k Samples/s to internal memory. In addition, the multi-parameter display shows auxiliary measurements alongside your main measurement to provide you with the results you need at a glance. With the industry's most comprehensive analysis modes, including measurement statistics, histograms, and trend plots, you have the tools you need to quickly and accurately analyse your signal. </P><P>A high-resolution screen is critical for R&amp;D and production testing on today's demanding designs. The FCA Series delivers 12-digit/s frequency resolution and for time measurements, single-shot resolution of 50ps (FCA3100 Series) or 100ps (FCA3000 Series) is available with measurement values displayed up to 14 digits. </P><P>With the unique display of the FCA Series, you can measure multiple parameters of the same signal from one test connection. To reveal signal quality issues like drift, intermittent transients, and stability, you can view the data as a real-time trend plot or a histogram with the FCA Series graphical display mode, or you can use measurement statistics to track how signal parameters are changing over time. A single-button Analyse mode gives you fast insight into the behaviour of your device right on the timer/counter's display.<STRONG></P></STRONG>
