Data storage and communication capabilities include internal floppy and hard drives, as well as 100 Mb/sec Ethernet, universal serial bus, and peripheral component interconnect connectivity. Additional features include a 10.4-in. SVGA display and a video output, an array of real-time measurement and automated test sequences, onboard analysis and custom reporting software, and direct data exchange with Microsoft Office and many other third-party software packages.
