Agilent/Keysight 54100D

The Agilent/Keysight 54100D is a 1 GHz digitizing oscilloscope engineered for high-speed circuit analysis and digital design verification. It employs random repetitive sampling to capture infrequent or short-duration waveforms with millions of bytes of effective memory depth. The instrument delivers accurate timing measurements and simplified analog time-domain analysis, with advanced triggering capabilities that isolate specific events and resolve perturbations within complex waveforms at high resolution.
