Agilent 1000A Series Oscilloscopes—At a Glance
The Agilent 1000A Series oscilloscopes are low-cost portable
digital storage oscilloscopes (DSOs) that deliver these
powerful features:
• Two and four- channel, 60 MHz, 100 MHz, and 200 MHz
bandwidth models.
• Bright 5.7 inch QVGA (320 x 240) TFT color LCD display
and small footprint (to save bench space).
•Upto2GSa/ssamplerate.
• Up to 20 kpts memory.
• Up to 400 wfms/s refresh rate.
• Automatic voltage and time measurements (22) and
cursor measurements.
• Powerful triggering (edge, pulse width, video, pattern, and
alternate modes) with adjustable sensitivity (to filter
noise and avoid false triggers).
• Math function waveforms: add, subtract, multiply, FFT.
• USB ports (2 host, 1 device) for easy printing, saving, and
sharing of waveforms, setups, screen BMP files, and CSV
data files.
• Internal storage for 10 waveforms and 10 setups.
• Special digital filter and waveform recorder.
• Built- in 6- digit hardware frequency counter.
• Multi- language (11) user interface menus and built- in
help.
