Description
Bandwidth tells only half the story. For example, a scope that samples fast and stores a long record lets you capture a slow event and still zoom in on a quick detail. The Keysight DSOX3012A oscilloscope pairs 100 MHz and two analog channels with the InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series platform. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale in Vietnam.
What the 3000 X-Series adds
Keysight identifies the DSOX3012A as a 100 MHz model with two analog channels. Its family specification lists up to 5 GSa/s of sample rate and 4 Mpts of memory depth. By comparison, the 2000 X-Series family lists up to 2 GSa/s and 1 Mpts. The record length you actually get still depends on the mode, options and firmware.
Long records, short edges
Deep memory keeps the sample rate high over a long capture. Therefore you can record a whole start-up sequence and then zoom in on one glitch after the run ends. In contrast, a shallow record forces a trade: either a long window or fine detail, but not both. In addition, for a 100 MHz scope, that extra headroom often matters more than another channel.
Where it fits
- Embedded and IoT boards, because rare faults often show up only during long runs.
- Power electronics, such as converter start-up and control-loop checks.
- Research benches, since an experiment may run only once and need analysis later.
- Aerospace and industrial control electronics, once you settle the calibration and documentation needs.
Options to itemize
Protocol analysis, a waveform generator, digital channels, memory, power analysis and bandwidth upgrades vary by model and license. Because the A model lists capabilities that depend on the installed configuration, ask Lost in HCM to write down what your unit carries. Probes deserve the same care, since they limit what you see.
Rent or buy the Keysight DSOX3012A oscilloscope
Rent it for a qualification run or a long fault hunt. Choose a purchase, however, if the long-record workflow becomes routine. In both cases, request a quote from Lost in HCM with your dates, probes and delivery city. You can also look at other oscilloscope listings, read about the platform at Keysight, or contact SMK Vietnam.
DSOX3012A questions
Why pick a 3000 X-Series model at 100 MHz?
You get the family headroom in sample rate and memory depth, which helps on long captures. Check the quote for the figures your unit delivers.
Does the Keysight DSOX3012A oscilloscope have a built-in generator?
The A model lists capabilities that depend on the installed configuration. The G models of the family carry a built-in generator, so ask if you need one.
What record length will I get?
It depends on the acquisition mode, channel use, installed options and firmware. Ask Lost in HCM to state it for your unit.
