    (e.g.: TTL, CMOS, ECL, PECL, LVDS, GTL) and other digital designs up to 330 MHz. The HP 81110A provides a reliable and wide range of signals, which can be used in even more applications than its predecessor, the HP 8110A.
  • Page 34: Upgrade Capability

    It is possible to upgrade the instruments with a second channel if only one channel was originally ordered. There are two output channels avail- able for the HP 81110A. The second channel that is installed must be the same as channel one.
