Philips PM3585/91

The Philips PM3585/91 is a logic analyzer engineered for simultaneous state and timing acquisition across all channels using Dual Analysis Per Pin (DAPP) architecture. This instrument delivers precise digital signal monitoring and system troubleshooting capabilities, combining high-speed timing analysis with state-level observation in a single acquisition engine. The PM3585/91 integrates powerful triggering logic, flexible data display modes, and multi-interface connectivity for demanding electronic test environments.
