XR3-Class Oscilloscope, Mixed Signal with Built-In Waveform Generator

The HD3 Series brings Keysight’s industry-leading capabilities from high-performance oscilloscopes to the high-volume level, making precision portable from 200 MHz to 1 GHz. Leveraging custom hardware technology from the UXR Series, the HD3 boasts the impressive resolution with four times the vertical accuracy with a 14-bit ADC and half the noise floor. Paired with our fast, uncompromised waveform update rate and twenty-five times more memory, the HD3 Series can capture signals that you can’t even see on other oscilloscopes.

The HD3 Series uses custom components optimized specifically for oscilloscope measurements. The HD3 series uses a brand-new 14-bit ADC, an all-new ASIC, other support components, and an entirely new architecture for the signal to flow through. Because Keysight designs these components rather than using off-the-shelf components, our hardware works much faster and more efficiently since it is designed specifically for oscilloscopes.

Part of this new architecture also includes deep memory with dedicated memory chips for every channel (100 Mpts). This means there is no interleaving between channels. You can have all four channels turned on and still get the maximum memory and sample rate on every channel.

Our new custom ASIC (MegaZoom 5) enables the HD3 to have hardware-based functions such as zone trigger, serial decoding, and mask testing. Custom hardware also makes it possible for us to create new custom software, such as the Fault Hunter software application. Simply run Fault Hunter and detect any glitches or errors on your signal.
