Agilent / Keysight DSOX1204A Oscilloscope: 70/100/200 MHz, 4 Analog Channels

The Keysight DSOX1204A is a 4-channel digital storage oscilloscope from the InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series, delivering professional measurement capabilities in a compact footprint. The instrument ships with 70 MHz bandwidth, upgradeable to 100 MHz or 200 MHz via optional license. It acquires signals at up to 2 GSa/s per channel with 2 Mpts memory depth, enabling detailed waveform capture and analysis across a wide range of electronic testing and debugging tasks.

Engineers and technicians benefit from a 7-inch WVGA color display, intuitive control layout, and built-in localized help. The 8-bit ADC and 5 ns rise time support fast signal characterization. Four independent channels allow simultaneous monitoring of multiple circuit nodes.

The 50 ns/div to 50 s/div timebase range accommodates both high-speed transients and low-frequency phenomena.
