The Keysight MSOX3012A is a 100 MHz mixed-signal oscilloscope built for engineers and system integrators analyzing complex analog and digital signals simultaneously. It combines 2 analog channels with 16 digital channels, delivering up to 4 GSa/s sample rate and 1,000,000 waveforms per second update rate. The 8.5-inch WVGA display renders clear, detailed waveforms across deep memory—up to 4 Mpts optional—enabling both transient capture and long-duration signal analysis without sacrificing temporal resolution.
