Agilent/Keysight MSOX3054G

The Keysight MSOX3054G is a 500 MHz mixed-signal oscilloscope that combines an oscilloscope, protocol analyzer, frequency response analyzer, arbitrary waveform generator, voltmeter, and counter into a single instrument. It delivers 5 GSa/s sample rate across 4 analog and 16 digital channels, with 4 Mpts memory depth per channel (half-channel mode) and waveform update rates to 1,000,000 wvfm/s. The 8.5-inch capacitive touch screen supports touch, front-panel, and mouse control, enabling intuitive access to advanced debugging capabilities for mixed-signal designs.

Engineers gain precise correlation between analog and digital signals through comprehensive trigger types including edge, pulse width, pattern, rise/fall time, setup & hold, and USB triggers, plus Zone Touch Trigger for rapid signal isolation. Hardware-based protocol decoding covers I2C, SPI, UART/RS232/RS485, and I2S natively, with optional support for aerospace, automotive, power analysis, and USB 2.0 applications.
