Manual Overview

The HP 1726A Time Interval Oscilloscope integrates time interval counter and oscilloscope technologies, providing precise and repeatable timing measurements essential for modern electronic systems. The device supports two modes of operation: overlap mode and triggered mode, with time interval averaging automatically managed through the Main Time/Div switch. This setup allows for precise measurements with a resolution of up to 10 picoseconds and an accuracy of 50 picoseconds. Troubleshooting is facilitated by the oscilloscope’s ability to eliminate the need for external gating, reducing setup complexity and improving measurement repeatability. Calibration is traceable to international standards, ensuring reliability. The 1726A also functions as a general-purpose oscilloscope, offering a 275 MHz bandwidth and selectable input terminations. It features a crystal-referenced time base, enhancing measurement accuracy over traditional methods. The device’s hybrid technology improves resolution and accuracy, making it suitable for both laboratory and production environments. The HP 10326A Time Interval Standard complements the 1726A, providing dual-channel signal sources for system evaluation.
