Agilent / Keysight DSO6054A Oscilloscope: 500 MHz, 4 Analog Channels

The Agilent/Keysight DSO6054A is a 500 MHz, 4-channel digital storage oscilloscope engineered for signal analysis, protocol debugging, and advanced waveform characterization. It captures signals at up to 4 GSa/s with selectable memory depth (2 Mpts standard, 8 Mpts optional) and delivers real-time waveform update rates to 100,000 waveforms/sec via MegaZoom III technology. The instrument features a high-definition XGA display (1024 × 768, 256 intensity levels), up to 12-bit vertical resolution in high-resolution mode, and 250 ps peak detect capability.
