Rohde & Schwarz RTM2054 Digital Oscilloscope 500 MHz

The Rohde & Schwarz RTM2054 is a 4-channel digital oscilloscope delivering 500 MHz bandwidth and 5 Gsample/s sampling rate across all channels. With 20 Msample standard memory per channel - expandable to 460 Msample via the RTM-K15 option - it captures extended signal sequences at high time resolution. The instrument combines analog oscilloscope, FFT spectrum analyzer, logic analyzer, and protocol decoder capabilities in one platform.
