The SR780 Dynamic Signal Analyzer combines high performance and low cost in a full-featured package. It offers 102.4 kHz dual-channel FFTs with 90 dB dynamic range, 145 dB dynamic range swept-sine measurements, real-time ANSI standard octave analysis, waterfall displays and transient capture for less than half the cost of other similarly equipped analyzers.
Whether your application involves acoustic measurements, vibration testing, servo systems or filter design, the SR780’s features, performance and low cost are unmatched.
