Keysight Fixed Configuration Sampling Oscilloscopes

This video introduces Keysight Fixed Configuration Sampling Oscilloscopes, engineered to provide compact, cost‑optimized signal analysis for optical and electrical manufacturing test environments. These oscilloscopes are designed for validating high‑speed communication components and modules where footprint, power consumption, and throughput are critical. When paired with automation software, they form a complete, efficient manufacturing test solution capable of validating device reliability, interoperability, and performance under a variety of real‑world conditions.

These oscilloscopes integrate multiple electrical and optical inputs, precision time‑base functions, and optional clock recovery features in a small form factor—saving valuable bench and rack space without compromising signal integrity. Their support for full automation accelerates high‑volume test workflows, delivering consistent, repeatable measurements needed for quality assurance. Low intrinsic noise and jitter performance, down to ≤105 fs RMS, provide the margin required to maximize manufacturing yield and ensure reliable operation of today’s high‑speed optical and electrical devices.

Fixed configuration sampling oscilloscopes support optical bandwidths up to 60 GHz and electrical bandwidths up to 50 GHz, with 1‑ to 4‑channel configurations tailored for electrical‑only, optical‑only, or mixed‑signal testing. These systems are an ideal fit for production environments requiring fast setup, minimal maintenance, and compact integration. They also provide the flexibility to address emerging datacenter, telecom, and high‑speed interconnect applications.

For higher bandwidths, lab‑centric workflows, or compliance testing for standards such as IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or OIF‑CEI, users can transition to Keysight’s modular sampling oscilloscopes and incorporate dedicated clock recovery solutions. Together, Keysight’s sampling oscilloscope portfolio enables test engineers to validate communications infrastructure devices from serial I/O components to full optical transceivers.
 

Key features include:

• Small Form Factor: Integrates optical/electrical inputs, clock recovery, and precision time‑base features in a compact unit.
• Manufacturing Test Optimized: Supports full automation for high‑performance, high‑throughput production testing.
• ≤105 fs RMS Jitter: Extremely low noise and jitter provide measurement margin to maximize yield and ensure reliability.
• Low Power Consumption: Requires less power than benchtop modular models, reducing load on manufacturing test systems.
• High Bandwidth Options: Optical bandwidth up to 60 GHz and electrical bandwidth up to 50 GHz with 1–4 channel configurations.
   

Fixed Configuration Sampling Oscilloscopes provide compact, reliable, low‑jitter analysis ideal for manufacturing validation of high‑speed communication devices, enabling efficient throughput and confidence in device performance across optical and electrical domains.
