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