Agilent/Keysight MSO8104A/DSO8104A

The Agilent/Keysight MSO8104A and DSO8104A are 1 GHz bandwidth oscilloscopes built for analog, digital, and serial signal analysis. The MSO8104A combines 4 analog channels with 16 time-correlated digital channels, while the DSO8104A provides 4 analog channels alone. Both instruments deliver 4 GSa/s sample rate in 2-channel mode (2 GSa/s in 4-channel mode) and feature MegaZoom III technology for responsive acquisition across deep memory up to 128 Mpts.

With 350 ps rise time and 8-bit vertical resolution expandable to 12 bits via averaging, these instruments resolve signal details across voltage ranges from 1 mV/div to 5 V/div on 1 MΩ inputs or 1 mV/div to 1 V/div on 50 Ω inputs.
