DSO6104A

The Keysight (formerly Agilent) DSO6104A is a high-performance 1 GHz, 4-channel digital storage oscilloscope. Equipped with MegaZoom III technology, it features 1 Mpts of standard deep memory (upgradeable to 8 Mpts), a 6.3-inch XGA color flat-panel display, a waveform update rate of up to 100,000 waveforms per second, and 256 levels of intensity gradation. The DSO6104A delivers exceptional signal visibility and flexible triggering capabilities, including analog HDTV, CAN, I2C, LIN, SPI, and USB, making it a reliable diagnostic instrument for embedded design and debug applications. It can also be upgraded to an MSO (Mixed Signal Oscilloscope) at any time.
