Safety Notices
CAUTION
A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard.
It calls attention to an operating
procedure, practice, or the like that,
if not correctly performed or
adhered to, could result in damage
to the product or loss of important
data. Do not proceed beyond a
CAUTION notice until the indicated
conditions are fully understood and
met.
WARNING
A WARNING notice denotes a haz-
ard. It calls attention to an operat-
ing procedure, practice, or the like
that, if not correctly performed or
adhered to, could result in personal
injury or death. Do not proceed
beyond a WARNING notice until the
indicated conditions are fully
understood and met.

Keysight 1000 Series Oscilloscopes—At a Glance
The Keysight 1000 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.
