Agilent/Keysight 54512

The Agilent/Keysight 54512B is a 4-channel digitizing oscilloscope delivering 300 MHz bandwidth with real-time acquisition at 1 GSa/s per channel. Built for precision measurement of transient and repetitive signals, it combines high sample rates with flexible triggering and 8-bit vertical resolution (10-bit via HP-IB averaging) to capture complex waveforms accurately.

Technical Specifications

• Channels: 4 simultaneous acquisition channels


• Sample Rate: 1 GSa/s per channel (real-time)


• Vertical Sensitivity: 1 mV/div to 5 V/div


• Vertical DC Gain Accuracy: ±1.25% of full scale


• Vertical Resolution: 8 bits standard; 10 bits via HP-IB with averaging


• Waveform Record Length: 8001 points (real-time), 501 points (repetitive)


• Time Base Range: 1 ns/div to 5 s/div


• Time Base Resolution: 20 ps
