Agilent/Keysight DSO8104A

The Agilent/Keysight DSO8104A is a 1 GHz digital storage oscilloscope delivering four analog channels with simultaneous sampling at 4 GSa/s (2 channels) or 2 GSa/s (4 channels). Built on the Infiniium architecture, this instrument captures and analyzes analog, digital, and serial signals across electronics design, validation, and research workflows. The platform runs Windows XP Pro, enabling direct integration with third-party analysis software and custom applications through LAN, USB, and GPIB interfaces.
