Time interval and frequency counter
80 MS/s | TA720 YOKOGAWA Europe

The TA720 Time Interval Analyzer has larger memory capacity and is faster than the highly regarded TA520 and TA320. It has a maximum sampling rate of 80 MS/s, and maximum memory capacity of 1024 k samples (in Time stamp mode). In addition, the TA720 has a variety of completely new functions, such as a dual measurement function, inter-symbol interference analysis function, and an optional Ethernet and PC card interface. This time interval analyzer is the ideal analysis tool for jitter analysis of high-speed optical disk signals and recording characteristic evaluations.

Highlights of this Time Interval Analyzer, include:

Continuous measurement at up to 80 MS/s
- Maximum Continuous Sampling Rate 80 MS/s
- Dual Measurement Function
- Inter-Symbol Interference Analysis Function, Built-in Printer, and GP-IB Interface are all standard
- Ethernet and PC Card Interface (optional)

High-Speed Continuous Measurement at up to 80 MS/s
- The TA720 can continuously measure signals as fast as eight times DVD speed. It continuously measures high-speed signals from sources such as fast-rotating CDs and DVDs, and next-generation optical disks without dropping measurements. This makes accurate jitter analysis possible.

Dual Measurement Function
- This function enables two measurements to be done simultaneously. The available measurement combinations are Period A & Period B, Period A & A-to-B time interval, Pulse A & Pulse B, and Pulse A & A-to-B time interval. During optical disk jitter measurement, for example, it is possible to perform two types of jitter measurements (data-data jitter and data-clock jitter).
