The Agilent/Keysight DSO6012A is a 100 MHz digital storage oscilloscope delivering dual-channel signal capture and real-time analysis for analog, digital, and serial designs. Built around a high-definition XGA display with 256 intensity levels, the instrument achieves 2 GSa/s sampling and 100,000 waveforms/sec update rates for dynamic signal observation. MegaZoom III technology with up to 8 Mpts optional memory enables extended signal capture while maintaining timing resolution. Hardware-accelerated serial decode, mixed-signal triggering, and pattern recognition support rapid fault isolation in complex designs.
