Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (1 GHz / 4 + 16 Channels); Upgradeable to 6 GHz with Option
The Keysight MSOX6004A is a mixed signal oscilloscope with four analog channels, 16 digital channels and 1 GHz bandwidth. Bandwidth is upgradeable via the following options:
- DSOX6004A-02G - 1.0 GHz to 2.5 GHz
- DSOX6004A-04G - 1.0 GHz to 4.0 GHz
- DSOX6004A-06G - 1.0 GHz to 6.0 GHz
There are four models in the InfiniiVision 6000 X-series - 2 or 4 analog channels, as well as with or without mixed signal functionality (can be added at a later date).
- DSOX6002A - 2 analog channels
- DSOX6004A - 4 analog channels
- MSOX6002A - 2 analog channels with MSO
- MSOX6004A - 4 analog channels with MSO
The Keysight InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series digital oscilloscopes are the most advanced members of the InfiniiVision family. They enable you to more deeply analyze signals with capabilities such as histograms, jitter analysis, and eye diagrams. Unlike other oscilloscopes, using these advanced capabilities is easy. An intuitive touch user interface, voice control, and zone triggering make the most complex tasks simple.
The InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series oscilloscopes combine price and performance to set a new standard in the portable oscilloscope world. Imagine a 6 GHz bandwidth oscilloscope that sees and triggers on everything, helps you visualize complex waveforms, and grows with your projects.
The InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series oscilloscopes are designed for the most demanding engineers who want bandwidth, visualization power, and the flexibility that comes with integrated capabilities - but with portability, a familiar embedded OS user interface, and an affordable price.
Bandwidth
When you choose your next oscilloscope, bandwidth is the most important specification to consider, as it defines the maximum frequency content your oscilloscope can acquire. Acquiring signals with faster edge rates or faster fundamental frequencies requires higher-bandwidth scopes to make the most accurate measurements. However, the higher the bandwidth of your oscilloscope, the higher the price is likely to be.
Sample rate is the second important specification, as it determines the time span between each acquired sample point, and it ultimately becomes the limiting factor of the oscilloscope’s bandwidth. In a modern oscilloscope with a brickwall filter response, the sample rate must be at least 2.5 times higher than the bandwidth. So a scope with 6-GHz bandwidth requires a sample rate of at least 15 GSa/s to avoid aliasing.
With the InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series, you can get up to 6-GHz bandwidth and a 20-GSa/s sampling rate so you can confidently measure signals with rise times faster than 150 ps or signals with higher than 2-Gbps NRZ (non-return to zero) data signal rates.
