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.
