The Agilent/Keysight 16532A is a digitizing oscilloscope module that integrates into logic analyzer mainframes to extend measurement capabilities with full-featured analog signal acquisition. It enables time-correlated measurements between logic and analog domains, combining oscilloscope functions with logic analysis in a single unified platform.
Technical Specifications
• Channels: 2 simultaneous analog channels per module
• Maximum Sample Rate: 1 GSa/s
• Maximum Bandwidth: 250 MHz
• Memory Depth: 8K per channel
– Key Features
• Autoscale and automatic measurement functions
• Advanced triggering with negative time viewing capability
• Voltage and time markers for precise signal analysis
• 9-inch color touch-screen display with pop-up window interface
• Optional mouse support for intuitive control
• Two built-in floppy disk drives for data archival
• GPIB and RS-232-C programming interfaces
– Typical Applications
The 16532A serves mixed-signal debug workflows where simultaneous logic and analog measurements are required. Time-correlated captures across both domains eliminate timing uncertainties inherent in separate test instruments. Engineers use this module to characterize transient phenomena, validate signal integrity, and troubleshoot embedded systems where digital control signals interact with analog subsystems.
– Compatibility & Integration
The module plugs into Agilent 16500 series logic analyzer mainframes, specifically the 16500C and HP 16500A systems. Compatibility with 16700 and 16900 series mainframes is also documented. Once installed, the 16532A integrates with the host mainframe’s acquisition engine and display subsystem, allowing synchronized triggering and waveform display alongside logic analyzer data.
The 16532A is an end-of-life product no longer manufactured by Keysight. Support and availability are limited to third-party resellers and existing installed bases.
