HP 5363B is a Time Interval Probe used for Enhanced Counter Measurements. The HP 5363B provides the necessary input signal conditioning to allow a universal counter to make highly accurate and repeatable time interval measurements. Counters such as the HP 5345A, 5370B, 5335A, 5334A, and 5328B when teamed up with the HP 5363B can now make more accurate rise time, fall time, slew rate, propagation delay, and other complex measurements. Wide Dynamic Range. Fine Trigger Level Settability Greatly improved dynamic range allows the trigger point to be selected in 10 mV increments from -9.99 V to +9.99 V. Minimized Circuit Loading High impedance, low capacitance active probes minimize circuit loading and pulse distortion. Each probe contains two measurement channels, start and stop, so timing measurements on one waveform are possible. As example, the input/output rise (propagation delay) of a device can be measured between the probes. Eliminate Systematic Timing Errors Delays through probes, cables and inherent differential delays between a counter's input channels limit the absolute accuracy of time interval measurements. A calibration procedure using the HP 5363B can equalize such systematic delays to set the counter to read 0.0 ns. This is possible with counters that can measure down to 0 ns like the HP 5370B, 5334A, and HP 5335A. For counters with a minimum time interval specification (HP 5345A and 5328B have 10 ns minimum capability), the HP 5363B can add a fixed offset of 10ns to permit measurements of zero time interval.
