Agilent/Keysight MXR208A

The Keysight MXR208A is a high-performance mixed-signal oscilloscope delivering 2 GHz bandwidth across 8 analog channels with 16 dedicated digital channels. Simultaneous sampling at 16 GSa/s across all channels, configurable memory up to 1.6 Gpts, and 10-bit ADC resolution (expandable to 16 bits) make this instrument suitable for complex signal analysis in digital and analog design environments. The platform integrates eight measurement and analysis tools—logic analyzer, protocol analyzer, DVM, counter, real-time spectrum analyzer, Bode plotter, and waveform generator—reducing bench footprint while maintaining isolation between functions.
