H high precision time base with two modes of operation, locked and short-term
jitter-optimized
H negligible long-term jitter degradation (<0.1 ppm), which substantially
improves the ability to view signals that are delayed far from the trigger

H analysis and connectivity tools enable the instrument to be controlled from a
variety of local and remote environments and to share data with other
commercially available analysis programs.
H pre-defined, built-in masks in addition to the user-defined masks.
H a large 10-inch color display that supports color grading of waveform data to
