Product Review: DSO1000A series oscilloscopes from Agilent

Agilent Technologies have launched their new DSO1000A series of oscilloscope. Weighing within
3 kgs, the unit comes with a 2 or 3 channel facility. The instrument has a bandwidth between 60 MHz to 200 MHz. It has a sampling rate of 2 GSa/s. It has a "True Zoom" mode that enables the user to zoom into a particular part of the waveform and display the entire waveform at the same time.The device can display about 21 measurements simultaneously.

The unit comes with a bright display which is visible from a wide range of angles. The measured signals can also be filtered with special DSP filters which can eliminate unwanted interferences.

It also has a built in counter. Measured and recorded waveforms can be transferred on to pen drives. It also has USB connections and a user-friendly software that comes bundled with a short training kit for first time oscilloscope users.
 
Current Limiting Fuses

Current limiting fuses are used in systems where high fault levels can result in excessive fault currents. The fuses function as normal fuses; however, they are designed to limit the fault current to low levels when they operate.

During normal operation, the fuse has a low resistance. Read More
