The 2440 employs several processors − an MC68B09 main CPU controls the instrument, a custom 16-bit waveform processor performs signal computations, and an MC6805 microcontroller handles the front panel interface.  The GPIB Interface is implemented with a TMS9914 controller.

The power supply consists of a buck-type pre-regulator followed by a push-pull inverter and linear post-regulators (except for the +5 V digital supply rail).
