This unit
The HP/Agilent 54540A is a four-channel monochrome digitizing oscilloscope built for precision signal measurement across analog and digital design, R&D, and manufacturing test environments. With 500 MHz analog bandwidth across all channels and real-time sample rates scaling from 2 GSa/s (single channel) to 500 MSa/s (three or four channels), this instrument captures detailed waveforms with 32 Kpoints of memory per channel. The monochrome CRT display, integrated floppy disk drive, and comprehensive triggering and math functions make it suitable for complex signal analysis and repetitive testing.
