Description
86100D DCA-X Wide-bandwidth Oscilloscope
Keysight product manager Robert Sleigh describes the 86100D DCA-X Wide-bandwidth Oscilloscope
The 86100D DCA-X Wide-Bandwidth Oscilloscope is a modular platform that provides accurate and precise measurements on high-speed digital designs from 50 Mb/s to more than 80 Gb/s. Users configure the 86100D DCA-X mainframe by selecting from a variety of plug-in modules that perform precision optical, electrical, and TDR/TDT measurements. Select specific modules to obtain the desired bandwidth, filtering, and sensitivity that match your measurement needs. For a complete listing of 86100 DCA plug-in modules, refer to the 86100D Data Sheet (Lit# 5990-5824EN), 86100D Brochure (Lit# 5990-5822EN), or this online DCA Module Selection Tool
In addition to providing industry leading signal integrity measurements, the DCA-X provides:
