The Keysight (formerly Agilent) MSO6102A is a 100 MHz, 2-channel mixed-signal oscilloscope (MSO) from the InfiniiVision 6000 Series. Combining 2 analog channels with 16 time-correlated digital channels, the MSO6102A features MegaZoom III deep memory technology and a high-definition XGA color display with 256 intensity levels. It delivers an uncompromised update rate of up to 100,000 waveforms per second, making it ideal for viewing rare anomalies and complex mixed-signal designs.
