The Keysight Technologies (formerly Agilent) DSO5054A is a 500 MHz, 4-channel digital storage oscilloscope from the 5000 Series. Powered by proprietary third-generation MegaZoom III technology, it delivers high-performance deep memory (1 Mpts), a fast real-time sample rate of 4 GSa/s, and a responsive display system offering up to 100,000 waveforms per second update rate, avoiding the typical trade-offs found in traditional bench scopes.
