For engineers and academics that require more than two channels for current waveform studies, the CX3324A is a 4-channel variant. Power measurements are made possible by combining a passive probe interface (CX1151A) with a differential sensor (CX1105A) or current sensor (CX1101A, CX1102A, CX1103A, and CX1104A). There are options for memory depth (4 Mpts/ch, 16 Mpts, 64 Mpts, and 256 Mpts) and bandwidth (50 MHz, 100 MHz, and 200 MHz). For CX3300 users that require greater performance, upgrades are also offered for both bandwidth and memory depth options. This 4-channel type can be utilized with an 8-channel digital channel (CX1152A) to increase your triggering versatility.
