Your Design Has Analog, Digital and Serial Signals, Shouldn’t Your Scope?
Analog: Up to 1 GHz bandwidth and up to
4 GSa/s sample rate
The 6000 Series analog channels provide faster identification of
the most elusive problems.
–– Revolutionary high-resolution display. Engineered with a
XGA display and 256 levels of intensity (color grading), see
a precise representation of the analog characteristics of the
signals you’re testing. Equipped with the industry’s fastest
update rate at 100,000 waveform/s update rate, you’ll
capture and see infrequent events.
–– MegaZoom III technology. MegaZoom III responsive deep
memory captures long, non‑repeating signals and maintains
high sample rates, allowing you to quickly zoom in on areas
of interest. Sample rate and memory depth go hand-in-
hand. Deep memory in oscilloscopes sustains a high sample
rate over longer time spans.
If You Haven’t Purchased a Keysight Oscilloscope Lately, Why Should You Consider
One Now?
Leading-edge technology
The 6000 Series oscilloscopes incorporate third generation MegaZoom III technology
blocks – responsive deep memory, fast update rates with minimal “dead time” and
analog-like display systems – and deliver them in a compact package.

Acquisition time
Dead time Acquisition time
Dead time
If you know that there is a glitch in your system, it’s easy to
capture it using a pulse-width trigger. However, if you are just
browsing through your design, your chances of finding a glitch Reducing the dead time between acquisitions …
increase as the update rate increases. If a glitch occurs during
the “dead time” between sample, you miss it. With MegaZoom III
technology, the dead time is much smaller. A scope with a slower
update rate will capture the glitch eventually (if it recurs), but
most engineers and technicians don’t have the time or patience
to wait for their tools to catch up.
Connectivity
Our customers tell us that oscilloscope connectivity is an
increasingly important feature of their test instruments. That’s
why the 6000 Series scopes come with the most comprehensive
hardware and software connectivity tools in their class.
Hardware connectivity
Standard ports include:
–– 2 x USB host ports (for external storage and printing
devices), one on the front and one on the rear
–– 1 x USB device port for high-speed PC connectivity
–– 10/100 Mbit LAN for Internet/Intranet connectivity
–– GPIB to allow easy migration into existing test systems
–– XGA Out for external monitors and projectors

Software Applications
FPGA dynamic probe (N5406A for Xilinx, N5434A
for Altera)
Give your MSO internal FPGA visibility. Keysight’s MSO FPGA
dynamic probe provides internal FPGA visibility and quick
instrument setup using an innovative core-assisted debug
approach. Measurement tasks that previously took hours can
be done in a few mouse clicks. In a few seconds, easily measure
a different set of internal signals without changing your FPGA
design.
Built-in USB port makes it easy to save your work and update
your system software quickly.
Quickly pan and zoom for analysis with MegaZoom III’s instant
response and optimum resolution.
Built-in help in six languages. Simply press and hold the front-
panel key of interest for a few seconds, and a help screen pops
up to explain its function.
Accessories
Battery option (Option BAT – factory installed)
Keysight 6000 Series oscilloscopes provide an optional internal
rechargeable lithium ion battery that will enable 2+ hours
without line power. Specifically designed for applications
where line power is not available or where you need to take
your scope with you but you need more power than a handheld
scopemeter provides. New oscilloscopes equipped with this
option can also be operated off of the N5429A 12-V automotive
adapter. The Keysight 6000 Series oscilloscopes offer the only
high‑performance scope with battery option on the market.
