EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE
Clean, Crisp Waveforms 
When compared to waveforms acquired 
and displayed using conventional 8-bit 
oscilloscopes, waveforms captured 
with HD4096 12-bit technology are 
dramatically crisper and cleaner, and 
are displayed more accurately. Once 
you see a waveform acquired with 
HD4096 technology, you will not want 
to go back to using a conventional 8-bit 
oscilloscope.
More Signal Details
16x more resolution provides more signal 
detail. This is especially helpful for wide 
dynamic range signals in which a full-
scale signal must be acquired  
while at the same time very small 
amplitude signal details must be 
analyzed. 12-bit acquisitions combined 
with the oscilloscope’s vertical and 
horizontal zoom can be used to obtain 
unparalleled insight to system behaviors 
and problems.
Unmatched Measurement Precision
HD4096 technology delivers 
measurement precision several 
times better than conventional 8-bit 
oscilloscopes. Higher oscilloscope 
measurement precision provides 
better ability to assess corner cases 
and design margins, perform root cause 
analysis, and create the best possible 
solution for any discovered 
design issue. 
Experience HD4096 accuracy, detail, and precision and never 
use an 8-bit oscilloscope again. Whether the application is  
general-purpose design and debug, high-precision analog, 
power electronics, automotive electronics, mechatronics, or 
other specialized applications, the HD4096 technology provides 
unsurpassed condence and measurement capabilities.
