The Agilent DSO1000A/B Series is a line of portable benchtop oscilloscopes engineered to deliver the signal-capture performance and feature depth associated with larger instruments in a compact, low-cost, lightweight package. Weighing less than seven pounds with a small footprint, the series combines powerful signal capture and display, advanced measurement capability, and a streamlined operating workflow across both its A and B model families.

An oscilloscope captures voltage waveforms over time and displays them on screen, letting an engineer see a signal's amplitude, frequency, timing, and shape — making it one of the most universal diagnostic instruments on an electronics bench. The DSO1000A/B Series is positioned for product design work in R&D, for teaching basic scientific and engineering measurements at lab stations in schools and universities, and for testing in manufacturing and service environments, where standard go/no-go mask testing supports fast pass/fail decisions.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own test-and-measurement inventory in a 20,000-square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every used unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house by our technicians before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer. Holding inventory directly lets us match the right instrument and condition to your application and get it out the door quickly.

## Brand Heritage

Agilent Technologies was established in 1999 as a spin-off of Hewlett-Packard, taking on HP's test-and-measurement business. In 2014, Agilent's electronic measurement business was separated again and rebranded as Keysight Technologies.

## Compare Other Models in This Series

The DSO1000A/B Series is organized into two-channel and four-channel models spanning a range of bandwidths. The two-channel lineup runs from the 50 MHz DSO1052B through the 70 MHz DSO1072B, 100 MHz DSO1102B, 150 MHz DSO1152B, and 200 MHz DSO1022A, while the four-channel lineup comprises the 60 MHz DSO1004A, 100 MHz DSO1014A, and 200 MHz DSO1024A.

Beyond bandwidth and channel count, the family divides into A and B models that differ in sample rate, acquisition memory, and I/O. A models provide up to 2 GSa/s and 20 kpts of memory, while B models provide up to 1 GSa/s and 16 kpts, with both sharing the same 5.7-inch display, 23-measurement set, math and FFT functions, mask testing, and eleven-language interface.

Each pre-owned model in the series below is listed on its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing, so you can select the exact bandwidth, channel count, and model variant your application requires and see the price for that specific configuration.

The clearest differences across the family are bandwidth and channel count: bandwidth ranges from 50 MHz to 200 MHz, and models are configured with either two or four input channels, as shown in the comparison table below. Time-base range also tracks the model — the 200 MHz models reach 1 ns/div, while lower-bandwidth models start at 2 ns/div or 5 ns/div.

The A/B suffix marks a second axis of difference. A models offer higher real-time sample rate (up to 2 GSa/s) and deeper memory (up to 20 kpts), add a rear-panel USB host port, support USBTMC remote PC control, and include pattern triggering and the Ext/5 trigger source; B models provide up to 1 GSa/s and 16 kpts with a front-panel USB host port, without USBTMC remote control or pattern triggering. Consult the comparison table for the per-model figures.
