Key Features MegaZoom III deep memory technology enables long capture windows without sacrificing time resolution. Four analog channels with passive 500 MHz 10:1 probes and 16 digital channels via flying lead logic probe pods provide synchronized capture of mixed signals. Pattern and mixed signal triggering isolates events across protocol and logic layers simultaneously.

Typical Applications Embedded system validation, multi-protocol communication debug (I2C, SPI, CAN, USB, LIN), video signal analysis, and mixed analog-digital circuit characterization.

Compatibility & Integration Keysight I/O libraries suite 14.2 included. USB 2.0, Ethernet, and GPIB interfaces support remote operation and automated test environments. XGA output enables projection and documentation.
