General Information Configuration Capabilities - HP 16550A User Reference

Configuration Capabilities
The HP 16550A can be configured as a single- or two-card module. The
number of data channels range from 102 channels using just one HP 16550A,
up to 204 channels when a second HP 16550A is connected. A half-channel
acquisition mode is available which reduces the channel width by half, but
doubles memory depth from 4K-deep to 8K-deep per channel.
The configuration guide below illustrates the channel width and memory
depth combinations in all acquisition modes with a one or two card module.
