Keysight (Agilent) 16741A Timing and State Module

The Keysight (Agilent) 16741A Timing and State Module is an acquisition module for Keysight logic analysis systems, delivering dual-mode analysis capabilities for digital circuit verification and debugging. This 68-channel module operates at 200 MHz in state mode and 800 MHz in timing mode, with 4 M memory depth and 2 GHz timing zoom for detailed signal examination. The modular design enables configuration flexibility and supports data capture expansion up to 340 channels when combined with additional modules on a single time base.
