Agilent/Keysight 54810A

The Agilent/Keysight 54810A is a 2-channel, 500 MHz digital oscilloscope built on the Infiniium platform for design verification and troubleshooting. It delivers 1 GSa/s simultaneous sample rate across both channels with 32k points of memory depth. The instrument combines an analog-like front panel with a Windows-based graphical interface, merging traditional oscilloscope workflows with advanced software-driven analysis.

Technical Specifications

• Bandwidth: 500 MHz


• Channels: 2


• Simultaneous Sample Rate: 1 GSa/s per channel


• Memory Depth: 32k points


• Pulse Capture: 500 ps minimum


• Edge Capture: 800 ps minimum

Key Features Triggering depth extends beyond standard edge detection. Glitch and pulse triggering accuracy spans 1.5 ns to 20 ns widths (±20% setting + 500 ps). Time-qualified pattern triggering covers 20 ns to 160 ms intervals (±3% setting + 2 ns). Video triggering supports NTSC (525 lines/60 Hz), PAL (625 lines/50 Hz), and 875 lines/60 Hz with selectable field and line capture. User-defined triggering allows configuration of sync pulse level, width, polarity, and edge number. Color-grade persistence display visualizes waveform behavior over time and reveals signal anomalies. LAN connectivity enables web-based remote control from any browser. Email-on-trigger functionality sends screen bitmaps upon trigger events. Voice control provides hands-free operation. USB Test with embedded MatLab supports custom measurement routines. Time correlation integrates with the Agilent 16700 logic analyzer for synchronized multi-domain capture. Waveforms and screen captures save to internal storage or networked drives. Communications mask test kit option available.

Typical Applications General-purpose design and troubleshooting requiring moderate bandwidth and reliable triggering precision. Video signal characterization. Multi-domain debugging with synchronized logic analysis.
