Keysight / Agilent / HP 16534A 2 GSa/s 2-Channel, 500 MHz BW Digitizing Oscilloscope Module

The Keysight/Agilent/HP 16534A is a 2-channel digitizing oscilloscope module purpose-built for integration into Keysight 16500-series logic analysis systems. Operating at 2 GSa/s with 500 MHz bandwidth, it captures high-speed analog signals with 32,768-point waveform records and enables time-correlated cross-domain measurement alongside digital logic data. The module functions as a standalone instrument or within multi-card configurations supporting up to 20 simultaneous analog channels in expanded systems.
