The Keysight InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series is a family of portable digital-storage and mixed-signal oscilloscopes that combine bandwidth, visualization power, and integrated instrumentation in a compact bench form factor. Models span 1 GHz to 6 GHz of bandwidth with sampling up to 20 GSa/s, and the series is built around an all-new front-end ASIC, MegaZoom IV acquisition memory, and a 12.1-inch capacitive multi-touch display. It places multi-GHz performance in a chassis only 154 mm (6 inches) deep, weighing 6.8 kg (15 lbs.) and consuming a maximum of 200 W.

Across the series the oscilloscope is applied to high-speed signal-integrity work — measuring fast edges and capturing signals with rise times faster than 150 ps or NRZ data rates above 2 Gbps. Application coverage includes serial protocol debug on embedded designs with sophisticated digital control circuitry, jitter and real-time eye analysis, switching-power-supply and power-device measurements, USB 2.0 signal-quality testing, and broader coverage extending to PCI Express.

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.

## Brand Heritage

Keysight Technologies traces its test-and-measurement lineage to Hewlett-Packard, whose instrument business was spun off as Agilent Technologies in 1999 and then established as Keysight Technologies in 2014. The InfiniiVision oscilloscope line is sold today under the Keysight name.

## Compare Other Models in This Series

The InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series is offered as four base configurations: two- and four-channel digital-storage models (DSOX6002A, DSOX6004A) and two- and four-channel mixed-signal models (MSOX6002A, MSOX6004A) that add 16 integrated digital channels. Every configuration shares the same 12.1-inch capacitive multi-touch display, MegaZoom IV acquisition, greater-than-450,000-waveforms/sec update rate, standard hardware zone touch trigger, and standard multi-language voice control.

All models start at 1 GHz and can be ordered or later upgraded to 2.5 GHz, 4 GHz, or 6 GHz bandwidth, with sampling up to 20 GSa/s. Because the front-end design allows bandwidth and feature upgrades through a software-license installation, a unit purchased at one tier can grow with the project rather than being replaced.

Each model below is its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Select the new configuration that fits your channel count, bandwidth tier, and integrated-instrument needs; the core specifications are shared, so the choice comes down to channels, bandwidth, and options.

The configurations differ along three axes shown in the comparison table: analog channel count (2 or 4), the presence of 16 digital channels (MSO models, or added via the DSOX6MSO upgrade), and bandwidth tier (1, 2.5, 4, or 6 GHz). Bandwidth tier also drives derived specifications — calculated rise time tightens from ≤350 ps at 1 GHz to ≤75 ps at 6 GHz, and the 6-GHz license enables equivalent-time sampling up to 400 GSa/s with a full-channel equivalent-time bandwidth of 6 GHz.

Integrated instruments — the dual-channel 20-MHz WaveGen, the 16-channel MSO option, and the per-protocol serial decode and analysis software packages — are ordered separately and apply across the bandwidth tiers. Refer to the comparison table for the exact channel, bandwidth, and option differences between each model.
