From 50 Mb/s to 224 Gb/s, the Keysight N1000A DCA-X wide-bandwidth oscilloscope can measure high-speed digital designs with accuracy and precision. Choose from a variety of plug-in modules to customize the N1000A DCA-X mainframe to your preferred sensitivity, filtering, and bandwidth.
A mainframe and numerous modules for flexible testing make up the DCA-X platform. The constancy and versatility of the DCA-X series ensure great accuracy in any measurement.
Helps shield your investment against obsolescence by supporting both current and older, discontinued optical, electrical, and TDR modules.
Jitter as low as 50 fs, noise as low as 275 uV, and bandwidth to > 110 GHz should all be tested.
High test throughput is possible with sample rates of up to 250 kSa/s and support for up to 16 channels.
Integrate plug-in modules for electrical, optical, and/or TDR/TDT/S-parameter analysis to personalize.
8X increase in the precision of time intervals.
Timebases with temperature control increase resistance to environmental fluctuations.

Keysight Wide-Bandwidth Oscilloscope N1000A DCA-X The mainframe documentation and technical reference resources:
The Keysight N1000A DCA-X wide-bandwidth oscilloscope is engineered to accurately test and measure high-speed digital designs operating from 50 Mb/s up to 224 Gb/s.
The DCA-X platform protects your capital investment by maintaining full compatibility with both current and legacy discontinued optical, electrical, and TDR plug-in modules.
The N1000A DCA-X can measure ultra-low jitter down to 50 fs, noise as low as 275 uV, and supports broad bandwidth configurations exceeding 110 GHz with up to 16 channels.
Compatible clock recovery modules like the N1076B, N1077A, N1078A, and N1077B support PAM4 and NRZ modulation schemes across data rates up to 64 GBd.
The system features a front-panel USB 2.0 host port, a rear-panel USB 2.0 device port, a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port for LAN remote access, and Wi-Fi interface communication capability.
The N1000A mainframe weighs 20.5 kg (43 lb) without modules, with basic dimensions of 221mm H x 426mm W x 530mm D (excluding connectors and feet).
