Agilent / Keysight DSOX3054A Oscilloscope: 500 MHz, 4 Channels

The Keysight DSOX3054A is a 500 MHz, 4-channel digital storage oscilloscope engineered for signal acquisition, debugging, and analysis across demanding electronic design and test environments. This instrument delivers real-time sampling at 2 GSa/s per channel with 4 Mpts memory depth, enabling detailed capture and inspection of complex waveforms. Its 8-bit vertical resolution spans 1 mV/div to 10 V/div with ±1.5% typical accuracy, supporting both high-impedance (1 MΩ || 15 pF) and 50 Ω input configurations.
