| Bandwidth | ➤ What is the frequency of the signal you will need to view with the scope? |
| A good rule of thumb is to select an oscilloscope that has a bandwidth at least 5x larger than the max frequency of the signals they will be measuring. | |
| Number of channels | ➤ How many signals do you need to see at one time? |
| Select a digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) with 2, 4, or 8 analog channels only or a mixed-signal oscilloscope (MSO) with additional 8 or 16 digital timing channels. | |
| Memory depth | ➤ How long of a time record do you need? |
| Select an oscilloscope that has sufficient memory to capture longer periods of time at high sample rates. | |
| Segmented memory | ➤ Are any of your signals bursting or packetized in nature? |
| Segmented memory is standard on all Keysight oscilloscopes, with the exception of the EDUX in the 1000 X-Series. | |
| Serial bus | ➤ Are any of your signals serial buses? |
| Select a serial bus trigger/decode application: USB 2.0, I2C/SPI, RS-232/UART, CAN/LIN, FlexRay, USB 2.0, etc. Refer to the application chart on each product page. | |
| Mask testing | ➤ Do you need to perform any fast go/no-go type testing to a known standard or golden waveform? |
| Mask testing is standard in the 1000X (DSOX models), 3000G X-Series, 4000G X-Series, and available as an optional software license on all other InfiniiVision oscilloscopes. | |
| Signal generation | ➤ Do you need to generate arbitrary or standard function signals with your device? |
| WaveGen is standard on the G models of the 1000 X-Series, 3000G X-Series, 4000G X-Series, HD3 Series, and EXR Series optional on all other InfiniiVision models. Find more details for license options on each of the following product pages. | |
| Probing | ➤ Do you have any specific probing needs? |
| Select an active probe if scope bandwidth is ≥ 700 MHz. A variety of active, differential, high-voltage, current and passive probes are available. See page 75 for more information. |
