N1000A and N109x-series Oscilloscopes

FlexDCA provides the GUI for the N1000A and N109x DCA-M sampling oscilloscopes. As all of these oscilloscopes are controlled by FlexDCA, they are documented in this help system. The following table list some ofthe differences between these sampling oscilloscopes. This table does not list product specifications. For the actual product specifications, refer to the FlexDCA Specifications Help.

Footnotes:
1. For a given release version, FlexDCA may look slightly different between the N1000A and N1090x-series. However, FlexDCA is the identical software running both.
2. Time offset relative to the N1000A front-panel trigger input or clock input (N109x-series).
3. Typical result for >10 GHz sine wave.
