Digital Storage Oscilloscopes
Models 2530B and 2532B
The 2530B and 2532B combine performance
and value all in one portable solution. With
advanced triggering capabilities, long waveform
memory up to 32,000 pts/Ch, and extensive features such as pass/fail limit testing, digital filtering, waveform recorder, and automatic measurements, these oscilloscopes offer powerful tools in
a small affordable package.
Maximize productivity with the included
EasyScope PC software that lets you easily
capture, save, and analyze measurement results.
All oscilloscope parameters can be controlled via
a PC without the need for programming.
Educators will appreciate the ability to disable
the Auto button that would automatically setup
the scope to display a signal circumventing the
need to know how to set up scope parameters.
This is key for teaching waveform measurement
fundamentals as if it was an analog oscilloscope.
The 2530B and 2532B are ideal oscilloscopes
for applications in education, troubleshooting
and debug, service and repair.

The tools you need
PC Co n n ec ti v i ty
The included EasyScope software provides
seamless integration between the oscilloscope
and PC. Capture and transfer waveforms, screen
images, setups and measurement results to a
Windows PC via the USB device port on the
back of the instrument. A USB host port on the
front allows for quick and easy screen saving.
Large I n ternal S t o r age
Powerful M ea surement F u nc t io ns
Display and measure the input signal’s frequency
spectrum. Select one of the 4 FFT windows:
Rectangular, Hanning, Hamming, and Blackman.
Use cursors to measure the spectral
component’s magnitude and frequency.
Multi-Lang ua ge Interface
Waveform Recorder
Monitor and analyze long-term signal behavior
by recording data continuously over an extensive
period of time and playing them back for post
acquisition analysis. Data is recorded in a
sequence of up to 2500 frames.
Di gi ta l Filteri n g
Minimize debug time by saving and recalling
setups and waveforms from internal memory.
Save and recall up to 20 different oscilloscope
setups and 10 different waveforms.
Pass/Fail Testing
Generate user-defined pass/fail limits to quickly
identify go/no go test results.

Operate the oscilloscope in a language you
understand best with the built-in multi-language
interface. Choose from English, Simplified
Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Arabic, French,
German, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese,
Korean, and Italian.
Noisy signal
Noisy signal with filter applied
Filter out unwanted signal components such as
various types of noise with built-in digital filters.
Choose from Low-Pass, High-Pass, Band-Pass,
and Band-Stop filters.
