Agilent Technologies (www.agilent.com) has introduced the lowest priced portable oscilloscope from its 1000 series of oscilloscope, the DSO1024A oscilloscope.

Offering the low price and portability required in a small oscilloscope, it delivers the features and performance expected in a large oscilloscope. This four channel oscilloscope offers bandwidth of up to 200 MHz and a maximum real-time sampling rate of two GSa/s.

The DSO1024A oscilloscope also comes with a convenient acquisition memory of up to 20 kpts per channel, which allows the scope to maintain high-resolution acquisition even at slower timebase settings. This enables users to view the details of the signals being measured.

Users can easily view signals from almost all angles, since the scope offers a bright, crisp 5.7-inch LCD color diagonal screen. The scope’s True Zoom and dual display capability shows the entire signal and at the same time allows users to zoom in on waveform details of interest.

It is also equipped with 23 automatic time, voltage and frequency measurements. Pressing the measure key simultaneously display the three most used or all single-channel measurements on the screen.

The scope also allows users to record a trigger event to a maximum of 1000 occurrences, which they can play back to easily identify the anomalies and glitches. Waveforms can be stored internally or externally using a USB flash driver.

The scope’s triggering options include composite video, pulse width, edge, pattern and alternate channel trigger modes. These modes help users view and capture hard-to find signal conditions. It also offers various digital filtering selections such as high-pass, low-pass, band-reject and band-pass filters.
