EEVblog 1638 – NEW Keysight Megazoom V ASIC 1GHz HD3 Oscilloscope!

After 13 YEARS Keysight have finally released the new MegaZoom V ASIC oscilloscope! Let’s take an initial look at the HD3 / HD300 series released today.
NOTE: I only had this scope for 24 hours from when it arrived to when I released this video, so please excuse the crudity of the video, I didn’t have time to build it to scale or to paint it.
