Accurate data, delivered amazingly fast
Shorter test time on the 8588A/8558A high-speed digital platform
enables you to increase throughput, improve yield and realize a
greater return on your investment. The 8588A/8558A digitizes to
memory at 200 nanoseconds per reading and delivers 4.5 digit data
to a PC via USB, Ethernet and GPIB at 100,000 readings per second.
Fast, high resolution data capture gives you the quantity and
quality of information you need to make timely, correct decisions
affecting system throughput and efficiency.
- 0 ns to 100 s aperture setting allows industry’s widest flexibility
to control data capture window
- Reading speed: 1 reading /s @ 8.5 digits to 100,000 reading /s @
4.5 digits
- Data transfer from memory to PC: up to 500,000 readings /s in
binary format through USB, up to 200,000 through Ethernet and GPIB
Debug and perfect your device under test
The 8558A features a 5 mega-sample digitizing rate with up to 20
MHz analog bandwidth, making it the first and only instrument on
the market that can characterize extremely low level transient
signals at 18-bit resolution. This capability makes it easier to
debug designs, uncover anomalies and perfect your devices under
test for use in real life environments.
- Voltage sensitivity to hundreds of nV and current sensitivity to
hundreds of pA allows you uncover ultra-low level transient signals
- Up to 20 MHz bandwidth for voltage and 4 MHz for current retains
high bandwidth content of the signal measured
- 18-bit SAR analog-to-digital converter that achieves 5 mega-samples
per second
- 5 mega-samples per second sample rate, into buffer, for capturing
complex, fast changing waveforms
- 15 million readings memory allows large amount of data storage
eliminating the
- immediate need to transfer data to a PC
- Graphical waveform display enables real-time visualization of
complex waveforms, increased productivity with faster access to
results and answers
Fast, reliable and accurate system compatibility
Inserting a new instrument into a tightly synchronized system can
create overhead and incompatibility. The 8558A’s digital platform
includes common connectivity interfaces plus precise triggering
that lets it digitize, integrate and transfer data to anywhere in
the system for analysis, with minimal obstruction and the highest
reliability.
- GPIB, USBTMC, Ethernet allows industry standard selection of remote
interface
- USB thumb drive enable quick and easy data transfer to PC in .csv
format
- SCPI compliant commands with 8505A and 3458A emulation mode
simplifies and accelerates system upgrade process to 8588A/8558A
- Fully supports MET/CAL calibration procedures library that commands the Fluke 8508A
- IVI Driver for industry standard control of DMM on 8558A/8588A
- Trigger Mechanisms: External BNC Trigger Trig In and Trig Out, Edge
or level trigger, Timer trigger, Epoch trigger, Line trigger
- Less than 100 ns trigger latency with external BNC trigger for
