content: Ah ok! I have three 16700 series units plus the expansion frame! I can highly recommend that one as it's way more flexible. What are your exact specs for the LA?

content: These things are sooo flexible they're actually a bit of a nightmare to explain as there's so many options. I actually started making a youtube video about them for this exact reason but haven't finished it yet.First, there's the 16700A, 16702A, and 16702B mainframes, which are more or less equivalent: Compared to the 16702A the 16702B has touchscreen instead of mouse, and 100Mbit ethernet instead of 10Mbit compared to the A series. There's also an optional memory and GPU upgrade that most units seem to have.Each mainframe can hold up to 5 cards, but you can increase that up to 10 using the 16701A/B expansion frame.Here's where it gets interesting. The 16700 series supports most 16500 series cards plus its own 16700 series cards. Examples include:16533A/16534A : - 2 channel 500Mhz oscilloscope cards (makes your LA a MSO)16517A (with the 16518A expansion cards): 4GS/s for 8 channels, or 2GS/s for 16 channels per card (timing mode)16750A/16751A/16752A: 800Mhz timing cards at 32 channels or 400Mhz at 68 channels per card. This also has a 2Ghz "zoom" near the trigger point for a few samples, basically equivalent to the 16517A.and loads moreNote that when you have multiple cards, they only work together seamlessly if they are the same type and have the interconnect cables. Without the interconnect you can trigger them together (like oscilloscope cards and LA cards) but not using complex triggers.Note also that most cards like the 16533A/16534A only differ by some resistors so they are easily upgraded to their better versions.Note most cards need cables and "pods" at the end of those cables to work as a LA (except for the 16517/16518, which is why I mention them above), tracking these down can be challenging but is a common issue for old Agilent LAs.

content: Hi,Sorry, I should be clear I was giving general information. I don't have a 16702B available, that's my personal unit.If you're looking for a unit I have two 16702A's. I also have two 16517A cards and a 16518A card (with interconnects), so I could give you 64 channels linked?I'm not sure about shipping, perhaps £30. As for the unit itself, I think something like £150 for the mainframe and maybe £100 for a 16517A card and £100 for the 16518A card (as I can supply these all working with interconnects).So say £380 in total? If this interests you I can show pictures of the unit etc.Kind regards,Marcus

content: The price is okay, but I would prefer an Agilent 1680. If nobody answers, I'll gladly return to your offer!

content: No worries! I think the card selection I'm offering isn't ideal for you, but you can pick up just the frame if you can find other cards (like the 16700 series). I also have other cards available but they're not working or I'm using them.
