HP / Agilent 54510B 1 GSA/s DIGITIZING OSCILLOSCOPE

The HP/Agilent 54510B is a 1 GSa/s digitizing oscilloscope built for precision signal capture and frequency-domain analysis across DC to 300 MHz. Two channels enable simultaneous dual-signal observation with 8K sample memory per channel, delivering detailed waveform reconstruction at its 1 GSa/s sampling rate. Vertical sensitivity spans 1 mV/div to 5 V/div, while the time base ranges from 1 ns/div to 5 s/div. FFT analysis is supported natively, allowing seamless transition between time and frequency domain examination. Cursor accuracy of ±0.005% of reading ensures precise measurements. The instrument connects via HP-IB for control and data transfer.
