Agilent / Keysight DSO5034A 5000 Series Oscilloscope: 300 MHz, 4 channels

The Agilent/Keysight DSO5034A is a 4-channel, 300 MHz digital storage oscilloscope delivering 2 GSa/s sampling and up to 8 Mpts of acquisition memory. Built on MegaZoom III technology, this instrument achieves waveform update rates to 100,000 waveforms per second, enabling reliable capture of transient and infrequent events. With 12-bit vertical resolution, 500 ps peak detect sensitivity, and a high-definition XGA display, the DSO5034A supports both analog and digital signal analysis across electronics testing, research, and educational applications.
