Agilent / Keysight DSO7012A Oscilloscope: 100 MHz, 2 analog channels

The Agilent/Keysight DSO7012A is a 100 MHz, 2-channel digital storage oscilloscope engineered for signal analysis, waveform capture, and complex debugging tasks. It combines a 12.1-inch XGA display with 256 intensity levels, deep memory architecture, and an uncompromised update rate of 100,000 waveforms per second - enabling capture of subtle signal details and infrequent events. The instrument samples at 2 GSa/s with 8 Mpts of MegaZoom III memory, supporting edge, pulse width, pattern, TV, duration, and sequence triggering.

Optional application packages unlock serial bus triggering and decode for I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, MIL-STD-1553, RS232/UART, I2S, and USB protocols, along with power analysis and mask testing capabilities. Segmented memory and PC-based offline analysis extend measurement flexibility for validation and post-acquisition examination of acquired data.
