Agilent / Keysight DSO6012A Oscilloscope: 100 MHz, 2 Analog Channels

The Agilent/Keysight DSO6012A is a 100 MHz digital storage oscilloscope built for signal capture, waveform analysis, and troubleshooting across electronics testing, education, and research environments. Its 2 analog channels deliver up to 2 GSa/s sampling with 8 Mpts of deep memory, enabling detailed acquisition of complex signals. The instrument achieves 12-bit vertical resolution even in single-shot mode and sustains a 100,000 waveforms/second update rate to capture intermittent events.

A high-definition XGA display with 256 intensity levels provides clear signal visualization.
