6 GHz bandwidth. Picosecond resolution.
All in the palm of your hand.
Our GigaWave™ digital sampling oscilloscopes offer 12-bit vertical resolution, 1 ps time resolution, and 6 GHz analog bandwidth, all in a tiny 4” form factor. That’s a combo you’ll never find anywhere else – starting from $2,295.
Unmatched value.
With a 40 ps risetime, 4 ps trigger jitter, and true sub-picosecond timing precision, the GigaWave™ 6000-series is ideal for ultrafast pulse analysis and high-bandwidth optical applications. Thanks to our unique CDF sampling technology, the GigaWave™ offers 6 GHz bandwidth at an industry-leading cost: 5-10x lower than comparable offerings.

Reviews.
“Just a quick note to say our GigaWave arrived yesterday: What a complete delight of a product - both the hardware and software! We do many tests that border on physics experiments; so it was just so pleasurable to set up the GigaWave to sit in for some expensive kit.”— Shepard Siegel, Atomic Rules LLC
All reviewers are unaffiliated with SJL Instruments and received no financial compensation.
Many of the reviewer-suggested features/fixes below have now been implemented. The acquisition has also been sped up significantly.
We recommend trying our latest software in demo mode for the most up-to-date experience. See also our discussion thread on the EEVBlog forum.

Stocking Notice: Our US warehouse is temporarily out of stock of this item. For urgent orders, please purchase directly from the manufacturer (UK).
Specifications.
See the Datasheet & User Manual for complete specificiations.
Each unit comes with the following standard accessories:
- – A 3’ USB-C to USB-C cable,
- – A USB-A to USB-C adapter,
- – A Torx T10 hex key (for opening or repairing the device), and
- – A certificate of calibration with device-specific bandwidth, risetime, trigger jitter, THD, and ENOB characterization.
All orders come with a “no-questions-asked” 30-day return period and a two-year warranty. Please contact us directly for custom requirements or a formal quote.
Stocking Notice: Due to unexpectedly high customer demand in June and July, all GigaWave™ models are currently on backorder. We will fulfill all existing orders, starting with the earliest, as subsequent manufacturing batches come in.
Please contact us for latest lead times or to reserve a unit in the next available batch (currently mid-September 2026). We expect normal stocking to resume in late September.
†Requires a USB-3.0 compliant port (900 mA). The eight-channel 6800 model requires a 1.5 A capable USB-C port.
*Equivalent sample rate for a traditional sampling oscilloscope. May vary with signal complexity. See Theory of Operation section in the User Manual for details.
