Agilent/Keysight DSOX3024A

The Keysight DSOX3024A is a 4-channel digital storage oscilloscope engineered for design, debug, and validation workflows. Part of the InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series, this instrument integrates oscilloscope, logic analyzer (MSO upgrade), protocol analyzer, function generator (WaveGen), and voltmeter functionality into a single platform. The upgradable architecture supports future expansion of bandwidth, memory, digital channels, and serial triggering capabilities.

– Technical Specifications

The DSOX3024A delivers 200 MHz bandwidth with a maximum sample rate of 2 GSa/s (half-channel interleaved) or 1 GSa/s per channel. Standard memory depth is 4 Mpts, with waveform capture rates reaching 1,000,000 waveforms/sec for real-time signal visibility. The 8.5-inch WVGA display (800 × 480 resolution) with 256-level intensity grading ensures clear waveform rendering. Calculated rise time (10–90%) measures ≤1.75 ns.

Horizontal timebase ranges from 2 ns/div to 50 s/div with 2.5 ps resolution. Vertical acquisition supports Normal, Peak Detect (capturing glitches as narrow as 500 ps), Averaging (2 to 65,536 selections), High Resolution Mode (12-bit resolution at ≥20 μs/div timebase), and Segmented Memory with 19 μs minimum re-arm time.

– Key Features

• 31 automatic measurements spanning voltage, time, frequency, and jitter
• Seven waveform math functions including FFT, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, integration, and differentiation
• Nine parametric triggers and six serial protocol triggers
• Hardware-based serial bus decoding for I²C, SPI, UART/RS232, CAN, and LIN simultaneously on two buses
• Industry-exclusive hardware mask testing at up to 280,000 tests/sec
• Bandwidth upgradeable beyond 200 MHz

– Typical Applications

Design validation, embedded system debug, protocol analysis, signal integrity assessment, and production testing across digital, mixed-signal, and serial communication environments.

– Compatibility & Integration

Optional MSO upgrade enables 16 digital channels. Serial decoding and triggering options support modern embedded communication standards. Modular expansion supports additional bandwidth, memory, and analysis modules.
