Yokogawa TA520

704310 Time Interval Analyzer TA520

Model TA520 is an ideal jitter analysis instrument for all kinds of optical disks. The maximum sampling rate is up to 43 MS/s at a measurement resolution of 25 ps. It has a greater memory capacity that can store up to 512k samples of data (during time stamp mode). It also has various useful functions such as a built-in printer, optional internal hard-disk & SCSI, and optional inter-symbol interference analysis. The TA520 can be applied to the analysis of a wide range of devices, including optical disks (jitter analysis), laser printers, and communications.

Features:

43 MS/s maximum continuous sampling rate
The fast sampling rate can be used to analyze various next generation, large capacity optical disks such as DVD-ROM/R/RW/RAM, and high-density MO.

Maximum memory size of 10 EXP 9 data samples
The TA530 has a large memory that can hold 512k samples of data during the time stamp mode and 10 EXP 9 samples of data during the hardware histogram mode. The large memory is very useful for conducting measurements of the inter-symbol interference of a re-writable optical disk and of the rotational fluctuations of a polygon mirror.

Automatic scaling (auto window function)
The TA520 is equipped with a function (auto window) that automatically adjusts the scale of the display using the data and clock signals of the optical disk. By using this function, the measurement results can always be displayed at the optimum scale when measuring CAV and ZCLV type optical disks whose clock frequency varies during operation.

1 00 ps internal jitter

Built-in printer (standard)

6.4" color TFT LCD with wide viewing angle

Inter-symbol interference analysis (option)
The inter-symbol interference analysis function, that analyzes the jitter present in an optical disk's signal, can be installed as an option.

3.2 GB internal HDD & SCSI Interface (option)
Large data files, setup information, and screen image data can be stored to the internal 3,2 GB hard disk drive. The files on the internal hard disk can be accessed directly from the PC via SCSI I/F and therefore no programming work is necessary to transfer the data.
