Keysight (Agilent) MXR058A Infiniium Oscilloscope, 500 MHz, 8 Channels

The Keysight (Agilent) MXR058A Infiniium Oscilloscope is a 500 MHz, 8-channel real-time instrument engineered for electronic design validation, signal integrity analysis, and high-speed digital testing. Built on ASICs from the Infiniium UXR-Series, it captures simultaneous waveforms across all channels at 16 GSa/s with 10-bit ADC resolution, extending to 16 bits in High-Resolution mode. The platform delivers over 200,000 waveforms/sec and supports flexible three-stage hardware-accelerated triggering across edge, glitch, pulse width, pattern, runt, setup/hold, and eye diagram modes. A 15.6-inch capacitive multi-touch display at 1920×1080 resolution provides intuitive access to over 50 standard measurements. The instrument integrates spectrum analysis, logic analysis (MSO), protocol decode, DVM, and counter functions into a single 8-in-1 platform. Memory depth reaches 1.6 Gpts maximum with standard 200 Mpts per channel, upgradeable to 400 Mpts. Noise performance of 43 µV with up to 9.0 ENOB via hardware filtering ensures signal fidelity. Full bandwidth and channel upgradability—extending to 6 GHz and up to 8 analog channels—protects long-term investment.
