– 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.
