Uncompromising Analysis Capability

Many USB users have been using digitizer hardware with software that simulates an oscilloscope for test and troubleshoot implementation. The limitations of this configuration are often overlooked, but they can cause signification problems. When a instrument says it has a high waveform update rate, people usually expect it to have a higher probability of catching random and infrequent glitches, but this isn’t the case for those instruments. In addition, common measurements like waveform averaging and advanced waveform triggers are not available.

The Keysight Streamline Series USB oscilloscopes USB oscilloscopes require minimum support from a central processing unit (CPU), as most of their core operations are handled by the MegaZoom IV smart memory ASIC, which is Keysight proprietary technology. MegaZoom includes hardware serial decoders and hardware mask/limit testing capability; supports GUI operation; and integrates additional instruments like a WaveGen function/arbitrary waveform generator.

The P924xA USB oscilloscopes utilize hardware to perform many of the functions traditional digitizers do with software on the CPU. By doing more in hardware, P924xA Series oscilloscopes can analyze more of the signal than ever before.

Key to the oscilloscope operation is that the acquisition does the triggering and most of the analysis utilizing onboard hardware. For example, to accomplish 1million waveforms/ sec, the waveforms are captured and plotted into hardware on the scope and then the waveform is transferred to the PC for display.
